Alyssa Lies
艾莉莎說謊
(Written by Jason Michael Carroll)
My little girl met a new friend just the other day
我的小女兒前幾天認識了一個新朋友，
On the playground at school between the tires and the swings
就在學校操場上的輪胎堆與鞦韆之間，
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
但是她淚水滿眶的回家來，
And she said to me, "Daddy, Alyssa lies"
並且告訴我，「爹地，艾莉莎說謊。」
Well, I just brushed it off at first
我起先並沒有特別在意，
Cause I didn t know how much my little girl had been hurt
因為我不知道我女兒受到多少傷害，
Or the things she had seen
或者她看見了什麼。
I wasn t ready when I said, "You can tell me"
當我說「你可以告訴我」時，我根本沒有心理準備，
And she said...
而她說…
"Alyssa lies to the classroom
「艾莉莎對同學們說謊，
Alyssa lies everyday at school
艾莉莎在學校每天都說謊。
Alyssa lies to the teachers
艾莉莎對老師們說謊，
As she tries to cover every bruise."
一邊想要遮蓋每一個傷痕。」
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep
那天晚上我女兒臨睡前低下頭來，
As I stepped out the room
當我步出她的房間時，
I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
我聽到她說出一份柔美的禱告。
"God bless my mom and my Dad
「上帝保佑我媽和我爸，
And my new friend, Alyssa
還有我的新朋友，艾莉莎，
I know she needs you bad
我知道她非常需要你，
Because Alyssa lies to the classroom
因為艾莉莎對同學們說謊，
Alyssa lies everyday at school
艾莉莎在學校每天都說謊。
Alyssa lies to the teachers
艾莉莎對老師們說謊，
As she tries to cover every bruise."
一邊想要遮蓋每一個傷痕。」
I had the worst night of sleep in years
那晚是我多年以來睡得最糟的一次，
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
當我設法想出如何平息她的淚水，
I knew just what it was I had to do
我知道自己該怎麼作，
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
但當我們星期一來到學校時，我聽到了噩耗。
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
我女兒問我為什麼大家看起來都這麼傷心，
The lump in my throat grew bigger with every question that she asked
而她每提出一個問題，就使得我喉中的結更難平息，
Until I felt the tears run down my face
直到我察覺淚水從我臉上滑落，
And I told her that Alyssa wouldn t be at school today
而我告訴她，艾莉莎今天不會上學了。
Cause she doesn t lie in the classroom
因為她不會在教室裡說謊，
She doesn t lie anymore at school
她再也不會在學校裡說謊，
Alyssa lies with Jesus
艾莉莎現在跟耶穌睡在一起，
Because there s nothin anyone would do
因為沒有任何事情是任何人可以幫上忙的。
Tears filled my eyes when my little girl asked me why Alyssa lies
淚水盈滿了我的眼眶，當我女兒問我為什麼艾莉莎要說謊，
Daddy, tell me why
爹地，告訴我為什麼，
Alyssa lies
艾莉莎要說謊？
