Lyrics & Translation
English
Yeah
I know sometimes things may not always make sense to you right now
But hey, what daddy always tell you?
Straighten up little soldier
Stiffen up that upper lip
What you crying about?
You got me.
Hailie, I know you miss your mom, and I know you miss your dad
When I'm gone but I'm trying to give you the life that I never had
I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh
I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry
'Cause you're scared, I ain't there?
Daddy's with you in your prayers
No more crying, wipe them tears
Daddy's here, no more nightmares
We gon' pull together through it, we gon' do it
Lainie Uncle's crazy, ain't he?
Yeah, but he loves you girl and you better know it
We're all we got in this world
When it spins, when it swirls
When it whirls, when it twirls
Two little beautiful girls
Lookin' puzzled, in a daze
I know it's confusing you
Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news
I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems
The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me
All the things growing up as daddy, that he had to see
Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did
We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me
But things have got so bad between us
I don't see us ever being together ever again
Like we used to be when we was teenagers
But then of course everything always happens for a reason
I guess it was never meant to be
But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise mama's gon' be alright
(Ha)
It's funny
I remember back one year when daddy had no money
Mommy wrapped the Christmas presents up
And stuck 'em under the tree and said some of 'em were from me
'Cause daddy couldn't buy 'em
I'll never forget that Christmas I sat up the whole night crying
'Cause daddy felt like a bum, see daddy had a job
But his job was to keep the food on the table for you and mom
And at the time every house that we lived in
Either kept getting broken into and robbed
Or shot up on the block and your mom was saving money for you in a jar
Tryna start a piggy bank for you so you could go to college
Almost had a thousand dollars 'til someone broke in and stole it
And I know it hurts so bad it broke your momma's heart
And it seemed like everything was just startin' to fall apart
Mom and dad was arguin' a lot so momma moved back
On the Chalmers in the flat one bedroom apartment
And dad moved back to the other side of 8 Mile on Novara
And that's when daddy went to California with his CD and met Dr. Dre
And flew you and momma out to see me
But daddy had to work, you and momma had to leave me
Then you started seeing daddy on the T.V. and momma didn't like it
And you and Lainie were too young to understand it
Papa was a rollin' stone, momma developed a habit
And it all happened too fast for either one of us to grab it
I'm just sorry you were there and had to witness it first hand
'Cause all I ever wanted to do was just make you proud
Now I'm sitting in this empty house, just reminiscing
Lookin' at your baby pictures, it just trips me out
To see how much you both have grown, it's almost like you're sisters now
Wow, I guess you pretty much are and daddy's still here
Lainie I'm talkin' to you too, daddy's still here
I like the sound of that, yeah
It's got a ring to it don't it?
Shh, mama's only gone for the moment
Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy's here to hold ya through the night
I know mommy's not here right now and we don't know why
We fear how we feel inside
It may seem a little crazy, pretty baby
But I promise mama's gon' be alright
And if you ask me to
Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
I'mma give you the world
I'mma buy a diamond ring for you
I'mma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile
And if that mockingbird don't sing and that ring don't shine
I'mma break that birdie's neck
I'll go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don't fuck with dad (ha ha)

Mockingbird (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sí
Sé que a veces las cosas no siempre te tienen sentido ahora
Pero hey, ¿qué te dice siempre papá?
Endereza esa espalda, pequeña soldado
Endurece ese labio superior
¿Por qué lloras?
Me tienes a mí.
Hailie, sé que extrañas a tu mamá, y sé que extrañas a tu papá
Cuando no estoy, pero intento darte la vida que nunca tuve
Puedo ver que estás triste, incluso cuando sonríes, incluso cuando ríes
Lo veo en tus ojos, muy dentro quieres llorar
¿Porque tienes miedo, no estoy ahí?
Papá está contigo en tus oraciones
No más llanto, seca esas lágrimas
Papá está aquí, no más pesadillas
Vamos a salir juntos de esto, lo haremos
El tío de Lainie está loco, ¿verdad?
Sí, pero te ama, niña, y más te vale saberlo
Somos todo lo que tenemos en este mundo
Cuando gira, cuando se arremolina
Cuando da vueltas, cuando se enrosca
Dos pequeñas niñas hermosas
Con cara de perplejas, aturdidas
Sé que te confunde
Papá siempre está de viaje, mamá siempre en las noticias
Intento mantenerte a salvo de ello, pero de alguna manera parece
Cuanto más intento hacerlo, más me sale el tiro por la culata
Todas las cosas que papá tuvo que ver al crecer
Papá no quiere que veas, pero ves tanto como él vio
No planeamos que fuera así, tu madre y yo
Pero las cosas se han puesto tan mal entre nosotros
No nos veo juntos de nuevo nunca más
Como solíamos ser cuando éramos adolescentes
Pero claro, todo siempre pasa por una razón
Supongo que nunca estuvo destinado a ser
Pero es algo sobre lo que no tenemos control y eso es el destino
Pero no más preocupaciones, apoya tu cabeza y duerme
Quizás un día despertemos y todo esto sea solo un sueño
Ahora, calla, pequeña, no llores
Todo va a estar bien
Endurece ese labio superior, pequeña dama, te lo dije
Papá está aquí para abrazarte toda la noche
Sé que mami no está aquí ahora y no sabemos por qué
Tememos cómo nos sentimos por dentro
Puede parecer un poco loco, linda bebé
Pero te prometo que mamá va a estar bien
(Ja)
Es gracioso
Recuerdo hace un año cuando papá no tenía dinero
Mami envolvió los regalos de Navidad
Y los puso debajo del árbol y dijo que algunos eran míos
Porque papá no podía comprarlos
Nunca olvidaré esa Navidad, me quedé toda la noche llorando
Porque papá se sentía como un vago, mira, papá tenía un trabajo
Pero su trabajo era mantener la comida en la mesa para ti y mamá
Y en ese momento, cada casa en la que vivimos
O seguía siendo asaltada y robada
O baleada en la cuadra y tu mamá estaba ahorrando dinero para ti en un frasco
Intentando empezar una alcancía para ti para que pudieras ir a la universidad
Casi tenía mil dólares hasta que alguien entró y lo robó
Y sé que dolió tanto que le rompió el corazón a tu mamá
Y parecía que todo estaba empezando a desmoronarse
Mamá y papá discutían mucho, así que mamá se mudó de vuelta
Al apartamento de un dormitorio en Chalmers
Y papá se mudó de vuelta al otro lado de 8 Mile en Novara
Y fue entonces cuando papá fue a California con su CD y conoció a Dr. Dre
Y las trajo a ti y a mamá para verme
Pero papá tenía que trabajar, tú y mamá tuvieron que dejarme
Luego empezaste a ver a papá en la televisión y a mamá no le gustó
Y tú y Lainie eran demasiado jóvenes para entenderlo
Papá era una piedra rodante, mamá desarrolló un hábito
Y todo pasó demasiado rápido para que cualquiera de nosotros lo asimilara
Solo lamento que estuvieras allí y tuvieras que presenciarlo de primera mano
Porque todo lo que siempre quise fue hacerte sentir orgullosa
Ahora estoy sentado en esta casa vacía, solo recordando
Mirando tus fotos de bebé, me alucina
Ver cuánto han crecido ambas, es casi como si fueran hermanas ahora
Vaya, supongo que sí lo son y papá todavía está aquí
Lainie, te hablo a ti también, papá todavía está aquí
Me gusta cómo suena eso, sí
Tiene un buen sonido, ¿verdad?
Shh, mamá solo se ha ido por un momento
Ahora, calla, pequeña, no llores
Todo va a estar bien
Endurece ese labio superior, pequeña dama, te lo dije
Papá está aquí para abrazarte toda la noche
Sé que mami no está aquí ahora y no sabemos por qué
Tememos cómo nos sentimos por dentro
Puede parecer un poco loco, linda bebé
Pero te prometo que mamá va a estar bien
Y si me lo pides
Papá te va a comprar un sinsonte
Te voy a dar el mundo
Te voy a comprar un anillo de diamantes
Voy a cantar para ti
Haré cualquier cosa por ti para verte sonreír
Y si ese sinsonte no canta y ese anillo no brilla
Le voy a romper el cuello a ese pajarito
Volveré al joyero que te lo vendió
Y le haré comer cada quilate, no jodas con papá (ja ja)
