Перевод песни Calum Scott - Boys in the Street

When I was younger,
My daddy told me I would never,
Never amount to nothing special,
He’d come at me from every angle.
He’d say,
‘You’re the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need,
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
My son was
kissing boys in the street,
My son was kissing boys in the street?’
He tried to change me,
Say I’m embarrassing my country,
How could I do this to my family,
Do I wanna grow up being lonely?
He’d say,
‘We’ve worked for our money, we put you in school,
Is this how
you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
My son, stop kissing boys in the street,
My son, stop kissing boys in the street.’
Now that I’m older
My daddy’s heart’s a little warmer,
But he still won’t hold me like my brother,
And he still won’t kiss me like my mother.
He’d say,
‘You’re a part of this family, I made you myself
But the way that you act isn’t good for your health.
My son, stop kissing boys in the street,
My son, stop kissing boys in the street.’
My daddy’s dying
And he’s finally realized I’m not lying,
We sit in silence but we’re smiling
Because for once we are not fighting.
He’d say,
‘There was no way of knowing ’cause all I was taught
Is men only love women, but now I’m not sure,
My son, keep kissing boys in the street,
My son, keep kissing boys in the street,
When I’m gone, keep kissing boys in the street.’
