If I Could

If I could
I’d protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage in a world of compromise
Yes, I would

If I could
I would teach you all the things I’ve never learned
And I’d help you cross the bridges that I’ve burned
Yes, I would

If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isn’t mine
I’ve watched you grow, so I could let you go
If I could
I would help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I could never cry your tears
But I would If I could
Yes, If I live
In a time and place where you don’t want to be
You don’t have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday won’t have to be your way

If I knew
I would try to change the world I brought you to
And there isn’t very much that I could do
But I would If I could
Oh baby
Daddy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungriest
‘Cause your part of me
And if you ever ever need
Said a shoulder to cry on
Or just someone to talk to
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
I didn’t change your world
But I would if I could
Oh darling, I love you baby.

Prevod na srpski

Da mogu

Da mogu
Zaštitio bih te od te tuge u tvojim očima
Dao ti hrabrost u ovom svetu kompromisa
Da, ja bih

Da mogu
Naučio bih te svemu onom što ja naučio nisam
I pomogao ti da pređeš mostove koje spalio sam
Da, ja bih

Da mogu
Pokušao bih da zaštitim tvoju nevinost od vremena
Ali deo života koji sam ti dao nije moj
Gledao sam te kako rasteš, da bih te mogao pustiti da odeš
Da mogu
Pomogao bih ti da preživiš teške godine
Ali znam da nikad ne bih mogao isplakati tvoje suze
Ali ja bih, kad bih mogao
Da, ako živim
U nekom vremenu i mestu na kojem ti ne želiš biti
Ne moraš ovim putem sa mnom ići
Moja prošlost ne bi morala da bude tvoj put

Da sam znao
Pokušao bih da promenim svet na koji sam te doneo
A nema tu mnogo štošta što bih učiniti mogao
Ali bih, kad bih mogao
Oh dušo
Tata želi da te zaštiti
I da svom čedu pomogne kad je najteže
Jer, ti si deo mene
I ako ti ikada zatreba
Rame za plakanje
Ili samo neko za ćaskanje
Biću tu, ja biću tu
Nisam promenio tvoj svet
Ali bih, kad bih mogao
Od dušo, volim te čedo.
