0410 Autonomous – Part 2

Autonomous comes from the Greek autos, self, and nomos, law, and means literally self-ruling.

Auto- appears in many English words, including

autobiography, a story of oneself, of one's own life;
✍️ خود زیستنامه (زندگی نامه‌ی کسی به نگارش خودش)

autograph, one's own signature;

automobile, literally a self-moving vehicle;

Song: If You Were A Sailboat
Artist: Katie Melua
Album: Pictures
Released: 2007
Genre: Acoustic, blues

Lyric & Translation

🎵
If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor
If you were a sailboat I would sail you to the shore
اگر یک گاوچران بودی به دنبالت می آمدم
اگر تکه چوبی بودی تو را به زمین میخ میکردم
اگر قایق ماهیگیری بودی تو راه به سمت ساحل هدایت میکردم

If you were a river I would swim you
If you were a house I would live in you all my days
If you were a preacher I’d begin to change my ways
اگر یک رودخانه بودی درونت شنا میکردم
اگر خانه ای بودی تمام روزهایم را در آن زندگی میکردم
اگر واعظی بودی راهم را در زندگی دگرگون میساختم

Sometimes I believe in fate
But the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me
I took a chance on loving you
گاهی به سرنوشت باور دارم
اما شانسهایی که ما خلق میکنیم
همیشه انگار واقعی ترند
شانس این را داشتی که مرا دوست داشته باشی
و شانس این را داشتم که تو را دوست داشته باشم

If I was in jail I know you'd spring me
If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long
If I was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs
اگر در زندان بودم میدانم که مرا آزاد میساختی
اگر یک تلفن بودم در تمام روز مرا به صدا درمی‌آوردی
اگر یک درد بودم میدانم که تو آنرا در ترانه ی آرامی می‌سرودی

Sometimes I believe in fate
But the chances we create
Always seem to ring more true
You took a chance on loving me
I took a chance on loving you
(تکرار ترجمه)

If I was hungry you would feed me
If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light
If I was a book I know you’d read me every night
اگر گرسنه بودم مرا خوراک میدادی
اگر در تاریکی بودم مرا به سوی روشنایی رهنمون میشدی
اگر کتاب بودم میدانم که مرا هر شب میخواندی

If you were a cowboy I would trail you
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore
(تکرار ترجمه)

If you were sailboat I would sail you to the shore

Lyric & Translation

🎵
Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough
شاید که نادرست باشد
که تو را اینگونه دیر فرا میخوانم
اما این رویاهایی که از تو دارم به اندازه ی کافی واقعی نیستند

Started bringing up the past
How the things you love don't last
Even though this isn't fair for both of us
آغاز کرد به بازگو کردن گذشته
که چگونه چیزهایی که دوست داری دوام نمی آورد
و این حتی برای هر دوی ما عادلانه نیست

Ooh-ooh, maybe I’m just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are
آه شاید که نادان باشم
من هنوز به تو تعلق دارم
هر کجا تو و هر کجا که باشی

Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
آه این میدانهای مین که در میان آن میروم
آه چه زیانی به جان میخرم که کنارت باشم
آه این میدانهای مین مرا از تو دور میدارد
آه چه زیانی به جان میخرم که کنارت باشم

Close to you-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
کنارت باشم
...

I didn’t notice what I lost
Until all the lights were off
And not knowing what you’re up to tortured me
آنچه از دست میدهم به چشمم نیامد
تا اینکه همه ی پرتوها خاموش شد
و ندانستم که آنچه تو میخواهی مرا آزار میداد

Now this might be a mistake
We're broken in so many ways
But I piece us back together slowly
اکنون شاید که این نادست باشد
ما از راههای گوناگون شکسته شده ایم
اما به آرامی خودمان را به هم برمیگردانم

Ooh-ooh, maybe I'm just a fool
I still belong with you
Anywhere you, anywhere you are
(تکرار ترجمه)

Ooh-ooh, these minefields that I walk through
Ooh-ooh, what I risk to be close to you
Ooh-ooh, these minefields keeping me from you
Whoa, what I risk to be close to you

Close to you-ooh

Now this might be a mistake
That I'm calling you this late
But these dreams I have of you ain't real enough
