Daughters
掌上明珠
（歌手：John Mayer）

I know a girl
我认识一个女孩
She puts the color inside of my world
她令我的世界变得缤纷多彩
She’s just like a maze
可她却像一个迷宫
Where all of the walls all continually change
里面的每一面墙壁都在不停地变化

I’ve done all I can
我已尽我所能
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand
想要跟上自己的心
Now I’m starting to see
而现在我终于发现
Maybe it’s got nothing to do with me
也许我做什么都是徒劳

Fathers be good to your daughters
父亲们，请对你们的女儿好一些
Daughters will love like you do
她们也会一样地爱你们
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
哪个女孩不是变成别人的爱人，又摇身一变，成为一个母亲？
So mothers be good to your daughters too
所以呀，母亲们，也请善待你们的女儿吧

Oh you see that skin
你看，她的肌肤多么美好
It’s the same she’s been standing in
可她竟一直默默地站在原地等待
Since the day she saw him walking away
自从那天她看着他离开之后就不曾挪步
Now she’s left cleaning up the mess he made
现在她还要收拾他留下的烂摊子

Fathers be good to your daughters

Boys you can break
男孩么？快别妄想了
Find out how much they can take
你永远不会知道，他们会从家带走多少钱
Boys will be strong and boys soldier on
他们倒是强壮又能吃苦
But boys would be gone
可儿子总是要离开家的呀
without warmth of a woman’s good, good heart
也没有女人才有的善良温暖的心肠

On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl
每个女孩子都应该替男人好好照顾自己
You are the god and the weight of the world
你们是天神呢，代表着整个世界的重量
