If It Makes You Happy - Sheryl Crow (뮤직비디오, 노래 가사 해석)

 

I've been long, a long way from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos,

And drank til I was thirsty again

We went searching through  thrift store jungles

Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo

And Benny Goodman's corset and pen

 

여기서 멀리 떨어져 있었어
판초를 입고 모기를 위해 연주하고
다시 목이 마를 때까지 마셨어
우리는 중고품 가게 정글을 뒤졌지
제로니모의 소총과 마릴린 샴푸를 찾았어
베니 굿맨의 코르셋과 펜도 찾았지

 

Well, o.k. I made this up

I promised you I'd never  give up

 

그래, 내가 지어낸 거야
절대 포기하지 않겠다고 약속했잖아

 

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are  you so sad

 

그게 널 행복하게 한다면
그렇게 나쁘진 않을 거야
그게 널 행복하게 한다면
왜 그렇게 슬퍼하는 거야

 

You get down, real low down

You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train

Well who hasn't been there before?

I come round, around the hard way

Bring you comics in bed,  scrape the mold off the bread

And serve you french toast again

 

내려와 진짜 내려와
콜트레인의 말을 듣고, 자신의 열차를 탈선시켜
누가 전에 거기 가본 적이 없어?
나는 돌아서, 힘든 길을 돌아가
너는 침대에서 만화 가져오고 빵의 곰팡이 긁어냈지
그리고 다시 프렌치토스트를 줬어

 

Well, o.k. I still get stoned

I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home

 

그래, 내가 지어낸 거야
난 네가 집에 데려갈 여자가 아니야

 

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad

 

그게 널 행복하게 한다면
그렇게 나쁘진 않을 거야
그게 널 행복하게 한다면
왜 그렇게 슬퍼하는 거야

 

We've been far, far away from here

Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos

And everywhere in between

Well, o.k. we get along

So what if right now  everything's wrong?

 

우린 여기서 멀리 떨어져 있었어
판초를 입고 모기를 위해 연주하고
그리고 그 사이의 어느 곳이나
그래 우리 잘 어울려
지금 당장 모든 게 잘못되면 어쩌지?

 

If it makes you happy

It can't be that bad

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are  you so sad

 

그게 널 행복하게 한다면
그렇게 나쁘진 않을 거야
그게 널 행복하게 한다면
왜 그렇게 슬퍼하는 거야
