Nas - I Can 歌詞和訳

I know I can

Be what I wanna be
なりたいものになれる

If I work hard at it
もしがんばれば

I'll be where I wanna be
自分が将来いたい場所に

I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be

Verse 1:

Be be
Boys and girls listen up

You can be anything in the world
この世界で何にでもなれる

In God we trust

An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
建築士 医者 もしかしたら女優に悪い
But nothing comes easy it takes much practice
でも簡単にはいかない たくさんのプラクティスがいる

Like, I met a woman who's becomin a star
スターになる女性と会った

She was very beautiful

Leavin people in awe
人々を

Singin songs Leena Hawn

But the younger version
だが若くて

Hung with the wrong person
間違った人々と付き合い

Got her strung on the
Sniffin up drugs all in the nose
鼻から薬をすすり

Could have died so young
若くして死んでいたかもしれない

Now looks ugly and old
今じゃみにくく年老いている

No fun cuz now when she reaches for hugs

People hold their ground
Cuz she smells of corrosion and death
Watch the company you keep
And the crowd you bring
Cuz they came to do drugs and you came to sing
So if you gonna be the best
I'ma tell you how
Put your hands in the air and take a bow

Chorus: サビ

I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be

I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be

Verse 2:

Be be
Boys and girls listen again

This is for grown-lookin girls Who only 10
大人びた外見の少女 わずか10歳

The ones who watch videos and do what they see
ビデオをみて 同じ様に振舞ってる

As cute as can be
Up in the club with fake ID's
偽IDでクラブに入り

Careful
用心しろ
Fore you meet a man with HIV
君があう男がHIV

You can host a T.V. like Oprah Winfrey
オペラみたいにテレビ番組を持てる

Whatever you decide
何を決めるにせよ

Be careful some men be rapists

So act your age
Don't pretend to be older than you are
自分の歳以上より大人びた振りをするな

Give yourself time to grow
成長する時間を自分に与えろ

You thinkin he can give you wealth
彼がきみに
But so young boys you can use a lotta help you know
You thinkin life's all about smokin * and ice
人生は葉っぱとダイヤだと思っている

You don't wanna be my age and can't read and write

Beggin different women for a place to sleep at night
毎回ちが
Smart boys turn em in and do whatever they wish
If you believe you can achieve
Then say it like this

Chorus:

I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be

I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be

Verse 3:

Be be
Fore we came to this country
We were kings and queens
Never porch monkeys
There was empires and
Africa called Kush
Timbuktu where every race came to get books
To learn from black teachers
Who taught Greeks and Romans
Asian, Arabs and gave them gold
When gold was converted to money it all changed
Money then became empowerment for Europeans
The Persian military invaded
They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything sacred
Africa was almost robbed naked
Slavery was money
So they began makin slave ships
Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went
He was shocked at the moutains with black faces
Shot up their nose to impose what basically
Still goes on today you see
If the truth is told the youth can grow
Can learn to survive until they gain control
Nobody says you hafta be gangstas
Read more learn more change the globe
Ghetto children do your thing
Hold your head up little man
Your a king
Young princess when you
Get your wedding ring
Your man is sayin "She's my queeeen"

Chorus:

I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be

I know I can
I know I can
Be what I wanna be
Be what I wanna be
If I work hard at it
I'll be where I wanna be
I'll be where I wanna be

Save the music ya'll
Save the music ya'll
Save the music ya'll
Save the music ya'll
Save the music
