Well, then, by Jesus, you are coming with me.
你父亲做什么的?
What did your father do?
我从没见过我父亲

You lucky bastard.
做父亲的都想压制儿子
All fathers want to do is hold you down.
我在我父亲的船上日夜做工
Out on my father’s boat, workin’ the two-a-day,
这个混♥蛋♥胖子
this little, fat bastard.
别人都叫他”爱尔兰苦力”
“Tug Irish,” they called him.
不过最后我终于鼓足勇气跟他说
Anyway, I finally work up the nerve and tell him,
“我不想把我的一辈子都浪费在这破船上”
“I don’t want to spend the rest of my life on a goddamn tugboat.”
知道我的意思吗?
You know what I’m saying?

“艺术家? 你就是干拖船的命 就和我一样”
“An artist? God meant for you to work a tugboat, just like me.
“老老实实地给我♥干♥活”
“And that’s exactly what you’re gonna do.”
后来我真成了艺术家
Well, I turned myself into an artist.
一个纹身艺术家!

这都是我自己纹的
I put on every one of these myself.
要拿走我的艺术 你得先活剥了我
You have to skin me alive to take my art away from me now.
我死后 要把自己的手臂给他
When I’m dead, I’m gonna send him my arm.

That one.
让别人去说吧
Don’t let anyone tell you different.
