[00:00.120] 作曲 : Will Jay/Samantha Creighton
[00:00.240] Kids would laugh at my mom's accent
[00:03.373] And the food that she made
[00:06.383] Say that stranger is my brother
[00:09.415] Cause we all look the same
[00:12.559] Thought I'd be cool if I could laugh too
[00:15.802] Even at my own expense
[00:18.742] I'd be just like all of those guys
[00:22.230] "All-American"
[00:25.357] Spent my life wishing my eyes were shaped a little differently
[00:31.512] And always answered back in English when my family spoke to me
[00:37.055] Now I'm ashamed
[00:39.161] I can only write my name
[00:42.210] I can only write my name
[00:45.342] I can only write my name
[00:49.318] I'm ashamed
[00:51.431] And I'm the only one to blame
[00:54.536] That I can only write my name
[00:57.663] I can only write my name
[01:01.734] I lost it all when I was young
[01:05.178] So no one would ask me where I'm from
[01:08.319] And now, I don't speak the language
[01:11.382] Wouldn't even know how to say
[01:13.790] That I'm ashamed
[01:15.966] Wanna sit down with my grandpa I know nothing about
[01:21.600] Smile and nod instead of talking
[01:24.760] Only way we know how
[01:27.966] So forgive me, all the years I was embarrassed
[01:31.240] Must of hurt to see I couldn't care less
[01:34.198] I rejected my own culture
[01:37.269] Like all Americans
[01:40.886] Maybe I just never had a hero I could look up to
[01:46.885] It's hard to see yourself in Superman when he looks nothing like you
[01:52.406] Now I'm ashamed
[01:54.583] I can only write my name
[01:57.695] I can only write my name
[02:00.783] I can only write my name
[02:04.510] I'm ashamed
[02:06.886] I'm the only one to blame
[02:09.928] I can only write my name
[02:13.054] I can only write my name
[02:17.706] Lost it all when I was young
[02:20.539] So no one asked me where I'm from
[02:23.700] And now, I don't speak the language
[02:26.778] Wouldn't even know how to say
[02:29.546] That I'm ashamed
[02:31.675] I can only write my name
[02:34.642] I can only write my name
[02:37.651] I can only say that I understand
[02:40.642] And really I can't stop running from who I am
[02:44.636] And write my own name
歌词翻译
[00:00.240] 孩子们总嘲笑我妈妈的口音
[00:03.373] 还有她做的饭菜
[00:06.383] 说那个陌生人是我的兄弟
[00:09.415] 因为我们长得都一样
[00:12.559] 以为跟着笑就会很酷
[00:15.802] 哪怕代价是贬低自己
[00:18.742] 我想成为那样的男孩
[00:22.230] "纯正美国味"
[00:25.357] 多希望我的眼型能不同些
[00:31.512] 家人用母语呼唤时 我只用英语回应
[00:37.055] 现在我满怀羞愧
[00:39.161] 我只会写自己的名字
[00:42.210] 我只会写自己的名字
[00:45.342] 我只会写自己的名字
[00:49.318] 我羞愧难当
[00:51.431] 这全是我的过错
[00:54.536] 我只会写自己的名字
[00:57.663] 我只会写自己的名字
[01:01.734] 年少时抛弃了全部
[01:05.178] 就没人追问我的来处
[01:08.319] 如今已不会说那语言
[01:11.382] 甚至不知该如何表达
[01:13.790] 这份羞愧
[01:15.966] 想和素未谋面的祖父促膝长谈
[01:21.600] 却只能相视微笑
[01:24.760] 这是我们仅有的交流
[01:27.966] 请原谅我曾多年感到难堪
[01:31.240] 我的漠然定让你心碎
[01:34.198] 我像所有美国人那样
[01:37.269] 背弃了自己的文化
[01:40.886] 或许只因从未有过
[01:46.885] 当超人长得不像你 如何寻找认同
[01:52.406] 现在我满怀羞愧
[01:54.583] 我只会写自己的名字
[01:57.695] 我只会写自己的名字
[02:00.783] 我只会写自己的名字
[02:04.510] 我羞愧难当
[02:06.886] 这全是我的过错
[02:09.928] 我只会写自己的名字
[02:13.054] 我只会写自己的名字
[02:17.706] 年少时抛弃了全部
[02:20.539] 就没人追问我的来处
[02:23.700] 如今已不会说那语言
[02:26.778] 甚至不知该如何表达
[02:29.546] 这份羞愧
[02:31.675] 我只会写自己的名字
[02:34.642] 我只会写自己的名字
[02:37.651] 只能说我能听懂
[02:40.642] 其实我始终在逃避真实的自己
[02:44.636] 写下自己的姓名
