The Grand Optimist
Dallas John Green
I fear I'll die from complications
Complications due to things that I've left undone
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Feel like a cripple without a cane
I'm like a jack of all trades who's a master of none
Then there's my father
He's always looking on the bright side
Saying things like, "son, life just ain't that hard"
He is the grand optimist
I am the world's poor pessimist
You'll give him burdens sometimes and he will escape unscarred
I guess I take after my mother
I guess I take after my mother
But I used to be quite resilient
Gained no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
Now, the wound has begun to turn
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy
I guess I take after my mother
I guess I take after my mother
I guess I take after my mother
I guess I take after my mother
I fear I'll die from complications
Temo que vou morrer de complicações
Complications due to things that I've left undone
Complicações devido a coisas que deixei por fazer
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Que todas as minhas dívidas ficarão por pagar
Feel like a cripple without a cane
Sinto-me como um aleijado sem bengala
I'm like a jack of all trades who's a master of none
Sou como um faz-tudo que não é mestre em nada
Then there's my father
Então tem o meu pai
He's always looking on the bright side
Ele está sempre vendo o lado bom
Saying things like, "son, life just ain't that hard"
Dizendo coisas como, "filho, a vida não é tão difícil"
He is the grand optimist
Ele é o grande otimista
I am the world's poor pessimist
Eu sou o pobre pessimista do mundo
You'll give him burdens sometimes and he will escape unscarred
Você lhe dá fardos às vezes e ele escapa ileso
I guess I take after my mother
Acho que puxei a minha mãe
I guess I take after my mother
Acho que puxei a minha mãe
But I used to be quite resilient
Mas eu costumava ser bastante resiliente
Gained no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
Não ganhei força ao contar as contas de um rosário
Now, the wound has begun to turn
Agora, a ferida começou a virar
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
Outra lição que não foi aprendida
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy
Mas isso não é um pedido de piedade ou de simpatia
I guess I take after my mother
Acho que puxei a minha mãe

Temo que moriré por complicaciones
Complications due to things that I've left undone

I'm like a jack of all trades who's a master of none
Soy como un todoterreno que no es maestro de nada

I guess I take after my mother
Supongo que salí a mi madre
I guess I take after my mother
Supongo que salí a mi madre
But I used to be quite resilient
Pero solía ser bastante resistente
Gained no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
No gané fuerza contando las cuentas de un rosario
Now, the wound has begun to turn

But I used to be quite resilient
Mais j'étais autrefois assez résilient
Gained no strength from counting the beads on a rosary
Je n'ai tiré aucune force du comptage des perles d'un chapelet
Now, the wound has begun to turn
Maintenant, la blessure a commencé à tourner
