Hey kid I got your text

Um, it's hard to keep up with you
嗯... 和你保持这种联系真的很困难啊 = =
You're probably on stage somewhere, I think Poughkeepsie
你现在正在舞台上熠熠生辉... 而我想我还在波基普西这个小城...
But listen, that's completely out of your control
但是,听着... 这其实并不是你真正想要的...是吗?因为这已经失去掌控了...
Don't stress about what you can't control
当然,也请你不要被这些已然失控的东西压得喘不过气来哦!
You know that everything's gonna work itself out, okay? it always does
因为这东西会随着时间的推移自行解决的嘻嘻 它总是这样'(^o^)/~
Imagine if you were driving from one end of the country to the other
请您试想一下,如果你驱车从你世代所生活的波基普西的一端开到另一端的话
And sometimes, the drive is easy
当然咯 开车是一件很简单的事情哈 嘿嘿嘿
And sometimes you're driving in the pitch black
有时你会在漆黑一片中开 车
And you can't see in front of you
而你眼前一抹漆黑...
But you got headlights
但是惊喜 意外的是 你带着头灯!
And that lights up about a hundred feet
而正好一灯飞射百尺,天堑变通途
And you focus on that hundred feet
你,专注于那被照得透亮的百尺光明大道...
And you get through it
随后... 你成功地划破黑暗——
And then the headlights focus on another hundred feet
当然,那头灯又聚焦在下一个距你百尺的地方
And you keep going and you trust yourself
你信心大增,相信自己,砥砺前行……
And you're gonna get to the other end of the country, okay?
就这样,你轻松地抵达了波基普西这个小村庄的另一端,对不?
Good stuff happens to good people
坚信吧,美好的事情永远只会潜在真诚而又善良的孩子身边……即将发生
You just gotta be yourself, don't ever change for anyone
做好自己 你就是你 最完美的自己 一定要有主见 还请不要被他人左右!
Keep busting your ass, okay? I'm proud of you kid
矢志不移,砥砺前行,撸起袖子加油干,好吗?孩子,我将会你感到无比骄傲与自豪的!
"Tell him I said hi", mama says hi, love you kid

And also, remember what Bob Dylan says
