Still Fighting It

아버지가 아들에게 해주는 이야기.
사랑과 격려가 담긴 가사가 마음을 끌었다.

Still Fighting It_ Ben Folds

Good morning, son.
I am a bird wearing a brown polyster shirt.
You want a coke? Maybe some fries?
The roast beef combo's only $9.95.
It's okay, 「you don't have to pay.」
I've got all the change.

*fries  감자튀김(french fries)
*change  동전, 잔돈, 거스름돈

Everybody knows.
「It hurts to grow up」 and everybody does. (어른이 되는 건 아프다는 걸. 다들 그렇게 아프게 살지.)
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what. The years go on and (한 가지 말해줄게...)
We're still fighting it. We're still fighting it.
And you're so much like me. I'm sorry.

*weird  기이한, 기묘한
*go on  시간이 흐르다

Good morning, son.
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed.
It was pain. Sunny days and rain. (그건 고통이었어. 기쁜 날들과 슬픈 날들.)
「I knew you'd feel the same things.」 (난 알았단다, 너도 똑같이 느끼게 될 거란 걸.)

Everybody knows.
It sucks to grow up And everybody does. (어른이 되는 건 참 별로라는 것을...)
It's so weird to be back here.
Let me tell you what. The years go on and
We're still fighting it. We're still fighting it.
You'll try and try
And one day you'll fly away from me.
