Taylor Swift - Father Figure (Türkçe Çeviri)

Описание: Resmî bir doğrulama yok ama çoğu yorum şarkının Scott Borchetta’ya ya da onun temsil ettiği mentor/etiket yöneticisi figürüne yönelik bir metafor olarak yazıldığı yönünde. Ben de böyle olduğunu düşünüyorum. Beyaz yazılar Scott’un ağzından çıkanlar, pembeler ise Taylor’ın 😎

Step into my office: Gel, ciddi bir konuşma yapalım.
Tricks of the trade: İşin püf noktaları.
Make deals with the devil: Tehlikeli bir çıkar için her türlü ahlaksızlığı yapmak.
Sleeping with the fishes: Mafya deyimi; öldürüp suya atmak.
Mistake my kindness for weakness: İyiliğimi zayıflık sanma.
Pull the wrong trigger: Yanlış kişiye bulaşmak.
Find your card cancelled: Ayrıcalığın bitti, oyun dışısın.
Brown liquor” (kahverengi içki) dediğinde, kast edilen genelde:
→ viski, konyak, rom, burbon gibi meşe fıçısında bekletilmiş, rengi koyulaşmış sert içkilerdir.
the mahogany grain → “maun ağacının dokusu” yani lüks, koyu kahverengi ahşap masa yüzeyi.Yani kelime kelime çevrilirse: “Ben hesabı, o maun masaya değmeden önce öderim.”


Lyrics
verse

When I found you, you were young, wayward, lost in the cold
Pulled up to you in the Jag
Turned your rags into gold
The winding road leads to the chateau
"You remind me of a younger me"
I saw potential...
chorus

I′ll be your father figure
I drink that brown liquor
I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger
This love is pure profit
Just step into my office
I dry your tears with my sleeve
Leave it with me
I protect the family
Leave it with me
I protect the family
verse

I pay the check before it kisses the mahogany grain
Said, "They want to see you rise. They don′t want you to reign."
I showed you all the tricks of the trade
All I ask for is your loyalty...
My dear protégé
chorus

I'll be your father figure
I drink that brown liquor
I can make deals with the devil because my dick's bigger
This love is pure profit
Just step into my office
They′ll know your name in the streets
Leave it with me...
I protect the family
bridge

I saw a change in you
My dear boy...
They don′t make loyalty like they used to
Your thoughtless ambition sparked the ignition on foolish decisions which led to misguided visions
That to fulfill your dreams...
You had to get rid of me
I protect the family
chorus

I was your father figure
We drank that brown liquor
You made a deal with this devil turns out my dick's bigger
You want a fight, you found it
I got the place surrounded
You′ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you're drowning
Whose portrait′s on the mantle?
Who covered up your scandals?
Mistake my kindness for weakness and find your card cancelled
I was your father figure
You pulled the wrong trigger
This empire belongs to me
Leave it with me
outro

I protect the family
Leave it with me
I protect the family
Leave it with me
"You know, you remind me of a younger me"
I saw potential...
