My daddy told me stories about 我的爸爸告诉我的故事

How this country was when I was just a kid 这个国家怎么样时，我只是个孩子

How people took the time to care 人们如何花时间来照顾

And took a lot of pride in the things they did 并采取了很多自豪感，他们做的事情

What happened to that spirit 发生了什么事的精神

It is something we have forgotten 这是我们都忘记了

Or something that we just don't want to hear 或东西，我们只是不希望听到

   

It's a sign of the times we're in 这是我们时代的一个标志

When we can't find the time to help a friend 当我们找不到时间帮朋友

Or show a little more compassion to 或显示多一点同情

The problems in each other's lives 在彼此的生活中存在的问题

We're more concerned with makin' money 我们更关心的是金的钱

Than stayin' home lovin' our family. 比留下来家里爱着我们的家庭。

If you need to borrow money now 如果您现在需要借钱

They want to know how many assets you can claim 他们想知道，你能有多少资产索赔

When Grandpa borrowed money simply on his name 当爷爷借来的钱只是他的名字

   

And it sure does seem a pity 它肯定不会看起来很可惜
