這首由鄉村音樂新星 Ella Langley 帶來的《Dandelion》，不僅是她第二張同名專輯的靈魂之作，更是一首關於自我成長與韌性的深刻頌歌。Ella 將蒲公英比喻為生存大師，即便生長在艱困的環境中，依然能綻放出獨特的生命力。這首歌詞充滿了對家鄉根源的眷戀與堅定，唱出了那種不願隨波逐流、只想保持真實自我的心境。透過溫暖且帶有鄉村韻味的旋律，Ella 邀請聽眾在忙碌的生活中停下腳步，感受那份如蒲公英般、即便被視為雜草卻依然美麗綻放的倔強與希望。
Ella Langley - Dandelion 中英文對照翻譯歌詞(Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Tried leavin' where I come from, but I'm always gonna go back
試著離開我出身的地方，但我終究還是會回去
I tried sippin' on the champagne, but it's always gonna be Jack
我試著啜飲香檳，但我的選擇永遠是傑克丹尼威士忌
There's things I can't change, like how I was raised
有些事我無法改變，比如我的教養方式
The Bible in my blood, and the 'Bama in my veins
聖經融入了我的血液，阿拉巴馬州的情懷流淌在我的血管裡
Ain't a pink bouquet in the flower store
花店裡可沒有粉紅花束那樣嬌貴
I'm okay if I'm a little more
如果我顯得粗獷一點，我也不介意
[Chorus]
Dandelion
蒲公英
Born to live free, ridin' on a breeze
生來自由，隨風而行
On a summer night
在夏夜裡
Tucked back in the weeds, guess that's just me
躲藏在雜草叢中，我想這就是我
In a bed of red roses, I'm the one growin' up on the wilder side
在紅玫瑰花床裡，我是那個在野蠻生長中綻放的人
So if you're tired of thorns, I'm a little more
所以如果你厭倦了尖刺，我或許更能讓你感到輕鬆

[Verse 2]
No stranger to a dirt road or a country muddy river bank
我對泥土路或鄉村泥濘的河岸並不陌生
If you're pickin' me, you oughta know I wasn't made for a fancy crystal vase
如果你要採摘我，你該知道我並非為昂貴的水晶花瓶而生
A mason jar and old blue jeans, from my roots to my boots, I'll always be
梅森罐和舊牛仔褲，從我的根源到腳上的靴子，我永遠都會是
