Best Thing by USHER
Lyrics & Translation
English
[Jay-Z:]
I mean
Ush, is this what it comes to man?
This how we gon' do it?
I mean, even grass grow, baby, you know?
Seeds become plants, boys become men
What we gon' do? Let's lead the way
Uh, wrapped around all girls like Pashminas
What's my demeanor? The grass is always greener
On the other side, there's bigger lies, can't give a ring up
I couldn't give a fuck, how could I give a finger?
Let alone half bath and closets
So claustrophobic, in fear of close objects
Now it's sort of like two-car garages
It's like two broads menagin', you're the best, mama
[Usher:]
Is there any chance that you remember me being more than just a horrible man?
And would you consider pulling this trigger and taking a second shot at romance? Aw baby
I groomed the days when you were my girl
And I was your man, though I took you for granted
But it wasn't 'til now I see
How much I missed you
Girl, I'm sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool
But for once, here goes the truth
I can't be fake, I can't be phony
Acting all hard, that's for homies that's lonely
I try to flex, but I confess
That when you left, you took the very best thing
The best thing that ever happened to me
You took the best thing
The best thing that I ever seen
You took the best thing
The best thing that I ever had
And now all I feel is stress
'Cause, baby, when you left, you took the very best
Remember Mimi or Vita? Remember Iesha or Eva? (I ain't got 'em no more)
Hey, it's for Naomi and Jenny, was the same outcome as Chilli
(Girl, I let 'em all go)
Ooh, no more tricking and kissing miscellaneous chicks acting like a jerk
Woman, I been to church and I talked to the bishop
And he wanted me to share this with you
How much I missed you
I'm so sorry that I ran the streets acting like a damn fool
But for once, here goes the truth
I can't be fake, I can't be phony
Acting all hard, that's for homies that's lonely
I try to flex, but I confess
That when you left, you took the very best thing
The best thing that ever happened to me
You took the best thing
The best thing that I ever seen
You took the best thing
The best thing that I ever had
And now all I feel is stress
'Cause, baby, when you left, you took the very best
[Jay-Z:]
Momma try to told me, "Hovi Hov to slow it down
You gon' lose your best thing if you keep getting 'round."
Like Pop need a partner when you old to hold you down
Ma, forever young, was forever numb
Sorry Stacy, sorry Dawn, Amil-lion and all of them
All of them was for their time, it wasn't you, it was him
School me once, school me twice, three times, I was dumb
Now it's so plain to see to me I got the one
You're the best, mama
[Usher:]
I can't be fake, I can't be phony
Acting all hard, that's for homies that's lonely
I try to flex, but I confess
That when you left, you took the very best thing
The best thing that ever happened to me
You took the best thing
The best thing that I ever seen
You took the best thing
The best thing that I ever had
And now all I feel is stress
'Cause, baby, when you left, you took the very best

Best Thing (traducción LyricVerse Team)
[Jay-Z:]
Quiero decir
Ush, ¿a esto hemos llegado, hombre?
¿Así es como lo vamos a hacer?
Quiero decir, hasta la hierba crece, nena, ¿sabes?
Las semillas se hacen plantas, los niños se hacen hombres
¿Qué vamos a hacer? Lideremos el camino
Uh, envuelto en todas las chicas como pashminas
¿Cuál es mi comportamiento? La hierba siempre es más verde
Al otro lado, hay mentiras más grandes, no puedo entregar un anillo
Me importaba un carajo, ¿cómo iba a dar un dedo?
Y mucho menos medio baño y armarios
Tan claustrofóbico, con miedo a los objetos cercanos
Ahora es algo así como garajes para dos coches
Es como dos chicas haciendo un trío, eres la mejor, mami
[Usher:]
¿Hay alguna posibilidad de que me recuerdes como algo más que un hombre horrible?
¿Y considerarías apretar este gatillo y darle una segunda oportunidad al romance? Ay, nena
Cuidé los días en que eras mi chica
Y yo era tu hombre, aunque te di por sentada
Pero no fue hasta ahora que veo
Cuánto te extrañé
Chica, lamento haber andado por las calles actuando como un maldito tonto
Pero por una vez, aquí va la verdad
No puedo ser falso, no puedo ser hipócrita
Actuar de duro, eso es para los colegas que están solos
Intento presumir, pero confieso
Que cuando te fuiste, te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que me ha pasado
Te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que he visto
Te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que he tenido
Y ahora todo lo que siento es estrés
Porque, nena, cuando te fuiste, te llevaste lo mejor
¿Recuerdas a Mimi o Vita? ¿Recuerdas a Iesha o Eva? (Ya no las tengo)
Oye, es por Naomi y Jenny, fue el mismo resultado que con Chilli
(Chica, las dejé ir a todas)
Ooh, no más engaños y besos a chicas cualesquiera actuando como un idiota
Mujer, he ido a la iglesia y hablé con el obispo
Y él quería que compartiera esto contigo
Cuánto te extrañé
Lamento mucho haber andado por las calles actuando como un maldito tonto
Pero por una vez, aquí va la verdad
No puedo ser falso, no puedo ser hipócrita
Actuar de duro, eso es para los colegas que están solos
Intento presumir, pero confieso
Que cuando te fuiste, te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que me ha pasado
Te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que he visto
Te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que he tenido
Y ahora todo lo que siento es estrés
Porque, nena, cuando te fuiste, te llevaste lo mejor
[Jay-Z:]
Mamá intentó decirme: "Hovi Hov, bájale el ritmo
Vas a perder lo mejor si sigues por ahí."
Como Papá necesita una compañera cuando seas viejo para apoyarte
Ma, siempre joven, siempre estuvo insensible
Lo siento Stacy, lo siento Dawn, Amil-lion y todas ellas
Todas ellas fueron para su momento, no fuiste tú, fue él
Enséñame una vez, enséñame dos, tres veces, fui tonto
Ahora es tan claro para mí que tengo a la indicada
Eres la mejor, mami
[Usher:]
No puedo ser falso, no puedo ser hipócrita
Actuar de duro, eso es para los colegas que están solos
Intento presumir, pero confieso
Que cuando te fuiste, te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que me ha pasado
Te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que he visto
Te llevaste lo mejor
Lo mejor que he tenido
Y ahora todo lo que siento es estrés
Porque, nena, cuando te fuiste, te llevaste lo mejor
