When I was just a little girl my momma used to tuck me into bed
And she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory
I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me
当我还是个小女孩的时候
妈妈在我睡觉前常给我讲一个故事
那是关于一个困境中的公主,
被一个男人拯救
王子和公主幸福地生活在一起
我躺在床上想,我如果是那个公主多好啊
终于有一天我明白童话中的生活不属于自己。
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be like Cinderella, sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else. I'd rather rescue myself
我不愿意象灰姑娘那样,
在一个积满灰尘的地下室里
孤单地等一个人,等他解脱自己
我不愿意像白雪公主那样,
等一个英俊的王子来解救
在一匹白马上,除非我们并肩前行
我不要依赖其他人,我情愿拯救我自己。
Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me
I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself then it has got to be, an equal thing
也许有一天我遇见一个了解我的人
他不怕让全世界的人知道他爱我
他理解我快乐的方式
我并不需要别人的照顾
我要如同他一般独立
这就是我给予自己的,一种平衡。
(Chorus)
I can slay my own dragons. I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me. So I'm gonna set me free
(合唱)
我能有我为之自豪的事情
我该有属于我自己的梦想
我披上银色的战甲,然后拯救我自己。
