Drive (For Daddy Gene)

Alan Jackson

Letra Tradução

Was painted red, the stripe was white
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
Second hand from a dealer in Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
Put on a shine, put on a motor
Built out of love and made for the water
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
A piece of my childhood it'll never be forgotten

It was just an old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it make me feel
And I would turn her sharp
And I'd make it whine
He'd say, "You can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
Just a little lake 'cross the Alabama line
But I was king of the ocean
When daddy let me drive

Just an old half ton, short bed Ford
My uncle bought new in '64
And daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
Couple of burned valves and he had it going
He'd let me drive her, we'd haul off a load
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal

It was just an old hand me down Ford
With three speed on the column and a dent in the door
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would press that clutch
And I'd keep it right
He'd say, "A little slower son, you're doing just fine"
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive

I'm grown up now, three daughters of my own
I let 'em drive my old Jeep 'cross the pasture at our home
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
And pull out that old memory
And think of me and smile, and say

It was just an old worn out Jeep
Rusty old floorboards, hot on my feet
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And he'd say, "Turn it left and steer it right
Straighten up girl, now you're doing just fine"
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
But I was high on a mountain
When daddy let me drive

When daddy let me drive
Oh, he let me drive

She's just an old plywood boat
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke

Was painted red, the stripe was white
Estava pintado de vermelho, a faixa era branca
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
Eram dezoito pés da proa à luz de popa
Second hand from a dealer in Atlanta
Segunda mão de um revendedor em Atlanta
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
Eu subi com o papai quando ele foi lá buscá-la
Put on a shine, put on a motor
Coloquei um brilho, coloquei um motor
Built out of love and made for the water
Construído por amor e feito para a água
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
Corri com ela por anos, até que o espelho de popa apodreceu
A piece of my childhood it'll never be forgotten
Um pedaço da minha infância que nunca será esquecido
It was just an old plywood boat
Era apenas um velho barco de contraplacado
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
Com um Johnson '75 com afogador elétrico
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
Um jovem garoto, duas mãos no volante
I can't replace the way it make me feel
Não posso substituir a sensação que me dava
And I would turn her sharp
E eu a virava bruscamente
And I'd make it whine
E eu a fazia gemer
He'd say, "You can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
Ele dizia: "Você não pode superar o jeito que um velho barco de madeira navega"
Just a little lake 'cross the Alabama line
Apenas um pequeno lago 'atravessando a linha do Alabama
But I was king of the ocean
Mas eu era o rei do oceano
When daddy let me drive
Quando o papai me deixava dirigir
Just an old half ton, short bed Ford
Apenas uma velha meia tonelada, Ford de caçamba curta
My uncle bought new in '64
Meu tio comprou novo em '64
And daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
E o papai acertou porque o motor estava fumegando
Couple of burned valves and he had it going
Um par de válvulas queimadas e ele a colocou para funcionar
He'd let me drive her, we'd haul off a load
Ele me deixava dirigir, nós carregávamos uma carga
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
Por uma faixa de terra onde jogávamos lixo fora da Thigpen Road
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Eu me sentava no assento e esticava os pés até os pedais
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
Sorrindo como um herói que acabou de receber sua medalha
It was just an old hand me down Ford
Era apenas um velho Ford passado de mão em mão
With three speed on the column and a dent in the door
Com três velocidades na coluna e uma amassado na porta
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
Um jovem garoto, duas mãos no volante
I can't replace the way it made me feel
Não posso substituir a sensação que me dava
And I would press that clutch
E eu pressionaria aquela embreagem
And I'd keep it right
E eu a manteria certa
He'd say, "A little slower son, you're doing just fine"
Ele dizia: "Um pouco mais devagar, filho, você está indo bem"
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
Apenas uma estrada de terra com lixo de cada lado
But I was Mario Andretti
Mas eu era Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive
Quando o papai me deixava dirigir
I'm grown up now, three daughters of my own
Agora sou adulto, com três filhas minhas
I let 'em drive my old Jeep 'cross the pasture at our home
Eu as deixo dirigir meu velho Jeep pelo pasto em nossa casa
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
Talvez um dia elas voltem em suas lembranças
And pull out that old memory
E puxem aquela velha memória
And think of me and smile, and say
E pensem em mim e sorriam, e digam
It was just an old worn out Jeep
Era apenas um velho Jeep desgastado
Rusty old floorboards, hot on my feet
Tábuas do assoalho enferrujadas, quentes nos meus pés
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
Uma jovem garota, duas mãos no volante
I can't replace the way it made me feel
Não posso substituir a sensação que me dava
And he'd say, "Turn it left and steer it right
E ele dizia: "Vire à esquerda e direcione à direita
Straighten up girl, now you're doing just fine"
Endireite-se, garota, agora você está indo bem"
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
Apenas um pequeno vale pelo rio onde nós passeávamos
But I was high on a mountain
Mas eu estava no alto de uma montanha
When daddy let me drive
Quando o papai me deixava dirigir
When daddy let me drive
Quando o papai me deixava dirigir
Oh, he let me drive
Oh, ele me deixava dirigir

Mengendarainya selama bertahun-tahun, sampai bagian belakangnya membusuk

Sebuah bagian dari masa kecilku yang tak akan pernah terlupakan
It was just an old plywood boat
Hanya sebuah perahu lapis tua
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
Dengan Johnson '75 dengan choke listrik
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
Seorang anak laki-laki, dua tangan di kemudi
I can't replace the way it make me feel
Aku tak bisa menggantikan perasaan yang dia berikan padaku
And I would turn her sharp
Dan aku akan membelokkannya tajam
And I'd make it whine
Dan aku akan membuatnya berdecit
He'd say, "You can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
Dia akan berkata, "Kamu tidak bisa mengalahkan cara perahu kayu tua berlayar"
Just a little lake 'cross the Alabama line
Hanya sebuah danau kecil di seberang perbatasan Alabama
But I was king of the ocean

Hanya sebuah truk setengah ton tua, tempat tidur pendek Ford
My uncle bought new in '64
Paman saya membelinya baru pada tahun '64
And daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
Dan ayah mendapatkannya dengan benar karena mesinnya berasap
Couple of burned valves and he had it going
Beberapa katup terbakar dan dia berhasil menghidupkannya
He'd let me drive her, we'd haul off a load
Dia membiarkan saya mengendarainya, kami akan membawa beban
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
Di jalur tanah dimana kami membuang sampah dari Jalan Thigpen
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Aku akan duduk di kursi dan meregangkan kakiku ke pedal
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
Tersenyum seperti pahlawan yang baru saja menerima medali
It was just an old hand me down Ford
Hanya sebuah Ford bekas
With three speed on the column and a dent in the door
Dengan tiga kecepatan di kolom dan penyok di pintu
A young boy, two hands on the wheel
Seorang anak laki-laki, dua tangan di kemudi
I can't replace the way it made me feel
Aku tak bisa menggantikan perasaan yang dia berikan padaku

And I'd keep it right
Dan aku akan menjaganya dengan benar
He'd say, "A little slower son, you're doing just fine"
Dia akan berkata, "Sedikit lebih lambat, nak, kamu sudah cukup baik"
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
Hanya sebuah jalan tanah dengan sampah di setiap sisinya
But I was Mario Andretti
Tapi aku adalah Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive
Ketika ayah membiarkanku mengemudi
I'm grown up now, three daughters of my own
Aku sudah dewasa sekarang, memiliki tiga putri sendiri
I let 'em drive my old Jeep 'cross the pasture at our home
Aku membiarkan mereka mengendarai Jeep tua ku melintasi padang rumput di rumah kami
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
Mungkin suatu hari mereka akan meraih kembali dalam file mereka
And pull out that old memory
Dan mengambil kenangan lama itu
And think of me and smile, and say
Dan memikirkan aku dan tersenyum, dan berkata
It was just an old worn out Jeep
Hanya sebuah Jeep tua yang sudah aus
Rusty old floorboards, hot on my feet
Lantai yang berkarat, panas di kakiku
A young girl, two hands on the wheel
Seorang gadis muda, dua tangan di kemudi
I can't replace the way it made me feel
Aku tak bisa menggantikan perasaan yang dia berikan padaku
And he'd say, "Turn it left and steer it right
Dan dia akan berkata, "Belok ke kiri dan kemudikan ke kanan
Straighten up girl, now you're doing just fine"
Tegakkan dirimu, gadis, sekarang kamu sudah cukup baik"
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
Hanya sebuah lembah kecil di tepi sungai tempat kami berkeliling
