Dear Basketball,
親愛的球
From the moment
I started rolling my dad’s tube socks
And shooting imaginary
Game-winning shots
In the Great Western Forum
I knew one thing was real:
自從
我捲起我爸的棉襪
射著
不存在的致勝球
在湖人球場裡
我就知道
I fell in love with you.
我愛上了你
A love so deep I gave you my all —
From my mind & body
To my spirit & soul.
我好愛你，通通都給你
我的身心
我的靈魂
As a six-year-old boy
Deeply in love with you
I never saw the end of the tunnel.
I only saw myself
Running out of one.
一個六歲小孩
和你熱戀
從未看見隧道盡頭
只看見自己
在其中奔跑
And so I ran.
I ran up and down every court
After every loose ball for you.
You asked for my hustle
I gave you my heart
Because it came with so much more.
所以我跑著
在球場上四處追著
每顆鬆手的球
都熱切向我招手
我給你我的心
因為得到的更多
I played through the sweat and hurt
Not because challenge called me
But because YOU called me.
I did everything for YOU
Because that’s what you do
When someone makes you feel as
Alive as you’ve made me feel.
疲勞與受傷打不倒我
不是因為挑戰呼喚我
而是你呼喚了我
都是為了你
因為我必須如此
因為你
讓我感覺活著
You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream
And I’ll always love you for it.
But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.
This season is all I have left to give.
My heart can take the pounding
My mind can handle the grind
But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.
你給了六歲男孩的湖人夢
我永遠記得也愛著
但我不能再這樣愛得太深
只剩下一季
我的心還能跳動
我的心靈還能堅持
但我的身體知道是時候說再見
And that’s OK.
I’m ready to let you go.
I want you to know now
So we both can savor every moment we have left together.
The good and the bad.
We have given each other
All that we have.
沒關係
我已經準備放手
我只想讓你知道
讓我們珍惜剩下的時光
是好是壞
我們都給了對方
一切
And we both know, no matter what I do next
I’ll always be that kid
With the rolled up socks
Garbage can in the corner
:05 seconds on the clock
Ball in my hands.
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1
我們都知道不管下一步如何
我都是那個小孩
拿著襪子球
角落的垃圾桶
時鐘上倒數五秒
球在我手上
5 4 3 2 1
Love you always,
Kobe
永遠愛你
科比
