I Know Better - John Legend
They say sing what you know
他们说唱歌要表达自己心中所想
But I sang what they want
但我总是迎合他人的喜好
Some folks do what they're told
有些人循规蹈矩 默守陈规
But baby this time I won't
但这次我要畅所欲言 宝贝
When I look through that door
当我透过那扇门张望
I know the truth from lie
我能看到谎言背后的真相
Some things I've done before I can't justify
我无法为我的所作所为开脱
There are kings in my past
过去我有很多重要的人
Things no one can be proud of
却没有做出让他们引以为豪的事
But I stand in the light I've cast
但我努力奋斗 如今站在光环之下
And turn away from any lack of love
我转身离开 去寻找真正的爱
Oh when I walked through that door
当我踏进那扇门
I say here I go
大喊一声 我来了
You see me and nothing more
你看了看我 仅此而已
I'm singing what I know
我要唱出心中所想
I know better
我很清楚
I know better
我很清楚
Legend is just a name
传奇只是我的名字而已
I know better than to be so proud
我很清楚这没什么好骄傲的
I won't drink in all this fame
我不会沉迷在虚妄的名声里
I'll take more love than I'm allowed
我要收获更多的关爱
I won't hide or cut it off from where it came
我不会刻意隐藏 和过去划清界限
My history has brought me to this place
是那些过去 成就了现在的我
This power and the color of my face
这种力量和我的肤色
And I know better
我很清楚
I know better
我很清楚
I'll rise from the floor if I don't win
如果我一败涂地 我一定会东山再起
I'll bust open that door so let me in
我会破门而入 所以让我进去吧
And if music chooses me to sing I let her
如果音乐选择了我 我就会拼尽全力
I'll sing what I know yeah
我会唱出心中所想
I know better oh
我很清楚
I know better yes
我很清楚 是的
I know better
我很清楚
I know better
我很清楚
