至我亲爱的篮球中英对照诗歌

From the moment

那一年

I started rolling my dad’s tube socks

我第一次穿上爸爸的筒襪

And shooting imaginary Game-winning shots

幻想着自己在場上赢球

In the Great Western Forum

幻想自己在西部論壇球館

I knew one thing was real:

我知道

I fell in love with you.

我愛上了籃球

A love so deep I gave you my all —

我愛的如此深切

From my mind & body

無論思想，肉體

To my spirit & soul.

還是精神，靈魂

As a six-year-old boy

六歲的我

Deeply in love with you

已深深地愛上了籃球

I never saw the end of the tunnel.

我看不到盡頭

I only saw myself

我隻看到了自己

Running out of one.

竭盡全力

And so I ran.

努力奔跑

I ran up and down every court

我在球場上不斷奔跑

After every loose ball for you.

争奪每一個籃板球

You asked for my hustle

你們想看到我努力拼搏

I gave you my heart

我便将赤心交于你們

Because it came with so much more.

這其中，想說的提多

I played through the sweat and hurt

我揮汗如雨，帶傷征戰

Not because challenge called me

不爲挑戰

But because YOU called me.

隻爲籃球

I did everything for YOU

我傾盡一切

Because that’s what you do

隻爲籃球

When someone makes you feel as

你讓我感到充實

Alive as you’ve made me feel.

讓我意識到自己還活着

You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream

你讓那個六歲的小男孩心懷湖人夢

And I’ll always love you for it.

我愛你愛的太多

But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.

但是我不能再沉溺地愛下去了

This season is all I have left to give.

這将是我最後一個賽季

My heart can take the pounding

我的心仍在跳

My mind can handle the grind

我的意志仍然堅強

But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

但是我的身體告訴我，該告别了

And that’s OK.

好吧

I’m ready to let you go.I want you to know now

我該放手了，我想讓你明白

So we both can savor every moment we have left together.

在剩餘的時光中，我們盡情享受

The good and the bad.

好壞亦然

We have given each other

我們已經爲對方

All that we have.

傾盡所有

And we both know, no matter what I do next

我們都知道，從今以後

I’ll always be that kid. With the rolled up socks

我還是那個小男孩，穿着筒襪

Garbage can in the corner

瞄準牆角的垃圾桶

:05 seconds on the clock

默念倒計時五秒

Ball in my hands.

球在我手中

5…4…3…2…1

5…4…3…2…1

Love you always,

永遠愛着你，我的籃球

Kobe
