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
Je crains de mourir de complications
Complications due to things that I've left undone
Complications dues à des choses que je n'ai pas terminées
That all my debts will be left unpaid
Que toutes mes dettes resteront impayées
Feel like a cripple without a cane
Je me sens comme un infirme sans canne
I'm like a jack of all trades who's a master of none
Je suis comme un touche-à-tout qui n'est maître de rien
Then there's my father
Puis il y a mon père
He's always looking on the bright side
Il voit toujours le bon côté des choses
Saying things like, "son, life just ain't that hard"
Disant des choses comme "fils, la vie n'est pas si dure"
He is the grand optimist
Il est le grand optimiste
I am the world's poor pessimist
Je suis le pauvre pessimiste du monde
You'll give him burdens sometimes and he will escape unscarred
Vous lui donnerez parfois des fardeaux et il s'en sortira indemne
I guess I take after my mother
Je suppose que je tiens de ma mère
I guess I take after my mother
Je suppose que je tiens de ma mère
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
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
Une autre leçon qui n'a pas été apprise
But this is not a cry for pity or for sympathy
Mais ce n'est pas un appel à la pitié ou à la sympathie
I guess I take after my mother
Je suppose que je tiens de ma mère
I guess I take after my mother
Je suppose que je tiens de ma mère
I guess I take after my mother
Je suppose que je tiens de ma mère
I guess I take after my mother
Je suppose que je tiens de ma mère
I fear I'll die from complications
Temo que vou morrer de complicações

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
