Lyrics
Intro: Upbeat, energetic vibe, acoustic guitar strumming, pedal steel glides, steady drumbeat, male duet vocals, call-and-response, a hint of hip hop shuffle in the beat
(Mmm, ohh... yeah) (Hey, y'all, let's roll)
난 constant sorrow 안고 살아, all my days trouble 속에서 굴러왔지
Goodbye to old Kentucky, 그 동네서 배웠지 my ways
(That spot he learned his ways)
Verse: Conversational delivery, melodic singing, fiddles in the background, subtle keyboard pads
계속 걸었어, 무거운 짐 속에 갇힌 듯
내 땅 위에 joy 하나 안 보여, I’m stuck here
Boots 신으면 어디든 가지만
진짜 친구는 없어, nobody sticks around
(He got no friends to stick around)
Pre-Chorus: Building energy, acoustic guitar and drum accents, call-and-response vocals
Six hard years, 날 닳게 했어
Lord knows, I can’t catch a break—머릿속이 mess
이 도시에 sunshine은 사라진 지 오래
I’m leavin’ for my own sake, y’all
(He’s leavin’ for his own sake)
Chorus: Harmonized choruses, strong hook, pedal steel flourishes, emotional expression
I’m a man (I’m a man) of constant sorrow
내 뼛속 깊이 heartbreak을 안고
Ain’t no rest (ain’t no rest) for my tomorrows
Don’t y’all cry, 나 그냥 ride on
(Ohh, hey, I’m ridin’ on)
Post Chorus: Brief refrain, fiddle and pedal steel riff, softer vocal layer
(Mmm, yeah) I’m ridin’ on
(Hey, hey) 끝까지 I’m ridin’ on
Verse: Conversational flow, electric guitar strums, drums keep a steady beat, duet vocals with a Southern accent
Fare thee well, 내 one true darlin’
난 절대 떠날 줄 몰랐지만, now it’s time
That northern train에 올라타야 해
Your heart로 되돌아갈 확률은 희박해
(Might not make it back to your heart)
Pre-Chorus: Intensifying groove, keyboards swell, call-and-response harmonies
If they bury me down sa 깊은 골짜기
아무리 시간이 흘러도 그냥 날 내버려 둬
You might find yourself someone brand-new
내가 저 muddy ground 밑에 잠겨 있을 때
(While he’s gone under that muddy ground)
Chorus: Harmonized choruses, driving beat, emphatic pedal steel bends
I’m a man (I’m a man) of constant sorrow
문제들이 문 앞에서 두드리는 중
I’m headin’ out (headin’ out) with no tomorrow
But one promise remains at my core
(Whoa, keep that promise sure)
Post Chorus: Repeated refrain, emotive fiddle lines, soft harmonies
(Mmm-hmm, yeah) I’m rollin’ on
(Yay, hey) 그래, I’m rollin’ on
Outro: Reflective, gentle acoustic guitar, light drum tap, soulful harmonies, pedal steel swells
Maybe 사람들은 날 stranger라 부르겠지만
(Ohh, ohh) 내 얼굴 다시 못 볼 거란 거 알아도
But 기억해, 그 vow는 아직 살아 있어
I’ll meet y’all on God’s golden shore
(He’ll meet y’all on God’s golden shore)
End
