From the moment

　　那一年

　　I started rolling my dad’s tube socks

　　我第一次穿上爸爸的筒袜

　　And shooting imaginary Game-winning shots

　　幻想着自己在场上赢球

　　In the Great Western Forum

　　幻想自己在西部论坛球馆

　　I knew one thing was real:

　　我知道

　　I fell in love with you.

　　我爱上了篮球

　　A love so deep I gave you my all —

　　我爱的如此深切

　　From my mind & body

　　无论思想，肉体

　　To my spirit & soul.

　　还是精神，灵魂

　　As a six-year-old boy

　　六岁的我

　　Deeply in love with you

　　已深深地爱上了篮球

　　I never saw the end of the tunnel.

　　我看不到尽头

　　I only saw myself

　　我只看到了自己

　　Running out of one.

　　竭尽全力

　　And so I ran.

　　努力奔跑

　　I ran up and down every court

　　我在球场上不断奔跑

　　After every loose ball for you.

　　争夺每一个篮板球

　　You asked for my hustle

　　你们想看到我努力拼搏

　　I gave you my heart

　　我便将赤心交于你们

　　Because it came with so much more.

　　这其中，想说的提多

　　I played through the sweat and hurt

　　我挥汗如雨，带伤征战

　　Not because challenge called me

　　不为挑战

　　But because YOU called me.

　　只为篮球

　　I did everything for YOU

　　我倾尽一切

　　Because that’s what you do

　　只为篮球

　　When someone makes you feel as

　　你让我感到充实

　　Alive as you’ve made me feel.

　　让我意识到自己还活着

　　You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream

　　你让那个六岁的小男孩心怀湖人梦

　　And I’ll always love you for it.

　　我爱你爱的太多

　　But I can’t love you obsessively for much longer.

　　但是我不能再沉溺地爱下去了

　　This season is all I have left to give.

　　这将是我最后一个赛季

　　My heart can take the pounding

　　我的心仍在跳

　　My mind can handle the grind

　　我的意志仍然坚强

　　But my body knows it’s time to say goodbye.

　　但是我的身体告诉我，该告别了

　　And that’s OK.

　　好吧

　　I’m ready to let you go.I want you to know now

　　我该放手了，我想让你明白

　　So we both can savor every moment we have left together.

　　在剩余的时光中，我们尽情享受

　　The good and the bad.

　　好坏亦然

　　We have given each other

　　我们已经为对方

　　All that we have.

　　倾尽所有

　　And we both know, no matter what I do next

　　我们都知道，从今以后

　　I’ll always be that kid. With the rolled up socks

　　我还是那个小男孩，穿着筒袜

　　Garbage can in the corner

　　瞄准墙角的垃圾桶

　　:05 seconds on the clock

　　默念倒计时五秒

　　Ball in my hands.

　　球在我手中

　　5…4…3…2…1

　　5…4…3…2…1

　　Love you always,

　　永远爱着你，我的篮球

　　Kobe
