मेरा मानना है कि अगर आप किसी चीज़ में जोखिम उठा ही रहे हैं, तो फिर पूरी ताकत और जी-जान से मैदान में उतर जाइए।

कुछ रातें ऐसी होती हैं जिन्हें मैं याद नहीं रखना चाहती, और कुछ ऐसे दोस्त होते हैं जिन्हें मैं कभी भुला नहीं सकती।

हमारे पास भले ही बहुत ज़्यादा कुछ न हो, लेकिन हमें किसी चीज़ की कमी भी नहीं है। अपनों के चुंबनों से ढके हुए, प्यार के घेरे में, ऊपर वाले के आशीर्वाद से नवाजे हुए।

We ain't got a lot, but we don't need anything. Covered in kisses, surrounded by love, showered with blessings from up above.

जब इस बड़े कुत्ते को छेड़ोगे तो यह ज़रूर लड़ेगा, और तुम्हें अमेरिका से पंगा लेने पर पछतावा होगा। क्योंकि हम तुम्हारी हेकड़ी निकाल देंगे, यही तो अमेरिकन अंदाज़ है।

This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage And you'll be sorry that you messed with The U.S. of A. 'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass It's the American way.

अमेरिकन लड़कियाँ और अमेरिकन लड़के, हम हमेशा सम्मान में खड़े होंगे, हम हमेशा पहचानेंगे जब हम 'ओल्ड ग्लोरी' (अमेरिकी झंडा) को फहराते हुए देखेंगे। कई लोगों ने अपनी जानें गंवाई हैं ताकि हम रात को चैन की नींद सो सकें, जब हम सोने के लिए लेटें।

American Girls and American Guys We'll always stand up and salute We'll always recognize When we see Old Glory Flying There's a lot of men dead So we can sleep in peace at night When we lay down our head.

मैं चाहे कुछ भी कीमत चुकानी पड़े, अपना कर्तव्य निभाऊंगा; मैंने सब कुछ सोच-समझकर फैसला किया है और मैं बलिदान के लिए तैयार हूँ। ओह, और मैं तुम्हारे लिए मरना नहीं चाहता, लेकिन अगर मेरी जान मांगी गई, तो मैं सम्मान के साथ उस सूली को चढ़ जाऊंगा क्योंकि आज़ादी मुफ्त में नहीं मिलती।

मैं ज़िंदगी भर डेमोक्रेट रही हूँ, और इस साल खुद को एक निर्दलीय (इंडिपेंडेंट) के रूप में फिर से रजिस्टर करवा रही हूँ। इसकी सिर्फ और सिर्फ वजह यह है कि मेरी वह पार्टी, जिससे मैं इतने सालों से जुड़ी रही हूँ, अब उन आदर्शों के लिए खड़ी नहीं है जिन पर मैं विश्वास करती हूँ। उन्होंने अपनी सारी समझदारी खो दी है और हर तरह के सनकी लोगों को अंदर आने दिया है, इसलिए मैं अब आज़ाद (निर्दलीय) हो रही हूँ।

I've been a lifetime Democrat, and I'm re-registering this year as an independent. It's strictly [because] my party, that I've been affiliated with all these years, doesn't stand for anything that I stand for anymore. They've lost any sensibility that they had, and they've allowed all the kooks in, so I'm going independent.

मुझे कट्टर रूढ़िवादी लोगों से उतनी ही खरी-खोटी सुननी पड़ती है जितनी अति-वामपंथियों (far-left) से। फर्क सिर्फ इतना है कि अति-दक्षिणपंथी (far-right) लोग उस तरह की नफरत नहीं फैलाते जैसी अति-वामपंथी फैलाते हैं। और यही मेरी पार्टी है। वे बहुत नफरत फैलाते हैं। मेरा मतलब अति-वामपंथियों से है, डेमोक्रेट्स से नहीं, अति-वामपंथी सचमुच सिर्फ नफरत, नफरत, नफरत, नफरत, नफरत फैलाते हैं।

I catch as much hell from the hard-core conservative people as I do the far left. The only difference is that the far right don't bring the hate to the table that the far left does. And that's my party. They just deal in so much hate. I mean the far left, not the Democrats, the far left really deal in hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.

स्वास्थ्य सेवा (हेल्थ केयर) इसका एक बेहतरीन उदाहरण है। हम विदेशी सहायता पर हर साल अरबों डॉलर खर्च करते हैं ताकि उन देशों के लोगों की मदद कर सकें जहाँ वह पैसा कभी ज़मीनी स्तर तक पहुँच ही नहीं पाता, क्योंकि वहाँ की सरकार के भ्रष्ट और बेईमान राजनेता आखिरकार हमारी दी हुई मदद खुद हड़प लेते हैं।

Health care's a great example. We spend billions of dollars a year in foreign aid helping people in countries where the money never gets to see the bottom tier, because the bad, corrupt politicians in the government that they have there end up taking what we give them.

Aur phir bhi yeh pehle se kahin zyada gehra girna hai; tum mujhe bahut achhi tarah jaanti ho. Mazaa yeh hai ki aisa lag hi nahi raha ki hum abhi-abhi mile hain. Jyada waqt nahi laga. Hamesha ka khayal mere zehen mein aa chuka hai, aur abhi toh humne 'I love you' bhi nahi kaha hai.

And yet this is farther than I've ever fell; You know me much too well. Funny it don't feel like we just met. It didn't take much time. Forever's more than crossed my mind, and we haven't even said 'I love you' yet.

Tumne mere dil ko ek aisi jagah laakar rakh diya hai jisse main waaqif nahi hoon. Yeh kabhi meri aasteen par nahi raha (zahir nahi hua). Lekin aaj raat tumhare saath yeh bilkul ek alag kahani hai. Tum mera woh roop baahar le aati ho jo aaj tak kisi ne nahi dekha.

You've got my heart in unfamiliar territory. It's never been out here on my sleeve. But here tonight with you it's quite a different story. You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen.

Aur sirf isliye ki aap yuddh ke khilaf hain, iska yeh matlab nahi ki aap sena ke khilaf hain.

Here's the thing. Just because you're pro-troops doesn't mean you're pro-war. And just because you're anti-war doesn't mean you're anti-troops. Just because you don't support the war people think you are anti-troops and you are a bad guy.

Mere daadaji ne mere pitaji se kaha tha, beta hamare zamaane mein ek insaan ko apne kiye gaye papo ki saza bhugtani padti thi. Texas ki saari rassi lo, ek lamba baanjh (oak) ka ped dhoondo, saare bure logon ko ikattha karo, aur unhe sadak par sabke saamne phansi par latka do.

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day son, a man had to answer for the wicked he done. Take all the rope in Texas, find a tall oak tree, round up all the bad boys, and hang them in the streets for all the people to see.

Likhna koi kaam nahi hai. Asal mein, isse behtar kuch hai hi nahi. Likhna aisi cheez hai ki agar kal ko sangeet udyog poori tarah khatam bhi ho jaye - radio station chalna band ho jayein aur sangeet lokpriya na rahe aur purana ho jaye - tab bhi main gaane likhta rahunga.

Writing is not work. In fact, theres nothing better. Writing is something that if the music business went completely away tomorrow - radio stations quit existing and music quit being popular and it was old hat - I would still write songs.

Gaane likhna aur naye vichar dhoondna meri palkon ke jhapakne jaisa hai. Yeh ek aisi maanspeshi hai jo mere bas mein nahi. Main bina soche yeh karta hoon.

If we were to sit and discuss abortion and legalizing marijuana and gay marriage and all those things, you'd be surprised where you'd see me on the side of some of that stuff. People get their opinions - as soon as you're a real flag-waving patriot, then all of a sudden you're a conservative.

Mujhe [Bob] Seger aur Eagles dono bahut pasand the, main janta tha ki woh mere pasand ke kuch gaane kyun nahi play kar rahe the. Par saath hi, unhone un saari badi cheezon ko cover kiya jo zyadatar logon ne suni thin. Lekin unke album ke kuch aise gaane zaroor the jo main sunna chahta tha par woh unhe nahi baja paaye.

I loved both [Bob] Seger and the Eagles, knowing why they didn't play some of the songs I wanted to hear. But at the same time, they covered all the big bases, and the stuff that most people had heard. But they definitely had a bunch of album cuts that I wanted to hear that they didn't get around to.

Mere paas apna pehla album likhne ke liye poori zindagi thi. Mera No. 1 aur teesra gaana aa chuka tha, aur woh bole, 'Arre, pata hai kya? Humein agla gaana record karna shuru karna hai.' Maine kaha, 'Uh oh, ab mujhe ek aur album likhna padega. Ab main 'Should've Been a Cowboy' aur 'Ain't Worth Missing' jaisa kuch dobara kaise likhunga?' Mujhe pehla album likhne mein sadiyon lag gayi thi.

I'd had my whole life to write my first album. I had my No. 1 and my third single out, and they go, 'Hey, guess what? We need to start recording the next one.' I'm like, 'Uh oh, I got to write another album. Well, how am I gonna write 'Should've Been a Cowboy' and 'Ain't Worth Missing' and all that again?' It took me forever to write the first one.

Toh jahan tak netritva (leadership) aur deshbhakti ki baat hai, mujhe lagta hai ki yeh sab hona behad zaroori hai. Aur mujhe lagta hai ki Bill Clinton ke baad se woh sabse behtar Democratic ummeedwar hain. Aur yeh baat ek Democrat keh raha hai.

So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it's really important that those things have to take place. And I think he's the best Democratic candidate we've had since Bill Clinton. And that's coming from a Democrat.

Main ek tarah ka 12 saal ka bottle dhone wala tha.

I was raised in bars. My grandmother had one, and when I was 12 years old I'd go stay with her and that's where I got to watch her band play -- she had a seven or eight-piece band, and I would sit in the kitchen and peek through the door. I was kind of a 12-year-old bottle washer.

My first gig, I was about 17 or 18. But I'd been singing a long time. I got a guitar when I was 8, and started trying to write songs as a teenager.

Mujhe apne khud ke sangeet udyog se kahin zyada sammaan rap kalakaron se milta hai. Main hamesha us kism ka sangeet nahi likhta jo country music ke bade adhikari chahte hain. Rappers bhi waise hi hote hain.. mere shabd sadak se aate hain, aur unke shabd bhi sadak se aate hain. Woh chamak-damak wala pop sangeet sadak se nahi aata, woh sab pehle se taiyar (pre-fab) hota hai.

I get more respect from rap artists than I do from my own industry. I don't always write the kind of music that country executives want. Rappers are like that too .. my words come from the street, and their words come from the street. That slicked-up pop stuff doesn't come from the street, it's all pre-fab.

Everybody should have their own thing, and if he don't want to be a role model, that should be up to him. In the right situations, I can try to help and be a role model, but I'm still gonna speak my mind, and if that affects the role-model deal, then too bad.

मैं पूरे साल लिखता हूँ, और साल के अंत में एक एल्बम रिलीज़ कर देता हूँ। अब अगर वह बेकार है तो बेकार है, और अगर अच्छी है तो अच्छी है। मैं उसे वैसे ही छोड़ देता हूँ जैसी वह बनती है। इससे मुझे अगले साल एक और एल्बम बनाने से कोई नहीं रोकता।

इराक युद्ध ने अफगानिस्तान पर इतनी गहरी छाया डाल दी है कि अब वहाँ की कोई खबर मुश्किल से ही मिल पाती है। मैं इस साल अफगानिस्तान गया और वहाँ इराक से ज्यादा समय बिताया... सिर्फ इसलिए कि लोग उन्हें भूल चुके थे, और मैं उन्हें यह जताना चाहता था कि मुझे उनकी परवाह है।

The Iraq War has thrown such a heavy shadow on Afghanistan that you can't hardly get any news about that now. I went to Afghanistan this year and spent more time there than I did in Iraq ... just 'cause they were forgotten about, and I wanted them to know that I appreciated it.

जो लोग देश के लिए अपनी जान दांव पर लगाने को तैयार रहते हैं, उनके प्रति मेरी भी कुछ ज़िम्मेदारियाँ बनती हैं। ये वही लोग हैं जिन्हें जब भी हम पुकारते हैं, और पूरा देश एकमत होता है... कि हमारे जीवनकाल में कोई ऐसी घटना घटेगी... बिल्कुल वैसे ही जैसे 9/11 के समय हुआ था, जब हर कोई उन्हें इंساफ़ दिलाना चाहता था। जब हमने सेना को बुलाया, तो वे तुरंत मैदान में कूद पड़े।

I feel an obligation to those people who are willing to go lay their lives on the line. These are the same people that when we call on them, and we 100 percent agree as a country ... in our lifetime there's gonna be an event take place ... just like when 9/11 happened, everybody wanted to bring them to justice. When we called on the troops, they went in.

मैं चाहता हूँ कि मेरा बच्चा ऐसे लोगों के बीच बड़ा हो जिनके मूल्य और विचार मेरी ही तरह हों।

I want people raising my kid that see along the same lines of values and issues as I do.

मैं इस बात से सहमत हूँ कि अमेरिकी लोग बहुत उदासीन हो सकते हैं। हम आगे बढ़कर पहल नहीं करते। बस बैठकर टीवी देखते रहते हैं।

I agree: Americans can be very apathetic. We're not proactive. We sit and watch TV.

... मुझे क्लबों में परफॉर्म करना इसलिए पसंद है क्योंकि... वहाँ हमारे पास दो-तीन एकॉस्टिक गिटार होते हैं और हम संगीत के साथ कोई जबरदस्ती या शोर-शराबा नहीं कर रहे होते। हम उसे बेहतरीन धुनों और गहरी कलाकारी के साथ गाते हैं।

... I like the clubs because ... we have two or three acoustic guitars up there and we're not hard-core slamming or stomping through the music. We're singing it with intricate harmonies and really showing the craftsmanship.

यह मेरे मंच पर गाकर खड़े होने से कहीं ज्यादा एक कहानी बयां करने जैसा होता है।

That's more along what the story is, as opposed to me being onstage singing.

मैं ऐसा इंसान नहीं हूँ जो अपनी किसी भी ज़रूरत को छिपा कर रखे। मैं भी उतना ही अकेला हूँ जितना कोई भी आम इंसान हो सकता है, बस मुझे अपनी कमियों का ढिंढोरा पीटना पसंद नहीं है।

I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing. I'm as lonely as any man around, I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down.

जब मैं ड्रीमवर्क्स आया, तो मैं बहुत बुरी मुसीबत में था। वे खुद बहुत बड़ी मुश्किल में थे। वे लाखों डॉलर के कर्ज में डूबे थे और उनके बंद होने के दिन नजदीक आ रहे थे। मेरी भी हालत बहुत खराब थी।

When I came to DreamWorks, I was in bad trouble. They were in bad trouble. They were millions of dollars in the hole and a few days from closing their doors. I was on my last leg.

लाल रंग के तंग स्वेटर में नीली आँखों वाली एक गोरी लड़की, अगर मेरे जीवन में थोड़ा रोमांच लाना चाहती है, तो मुझे लगता है कि मुझे उसे यह मौका देना चाहिए।

A little blue-eyed blonde in a red hot sweater, wants to spice my chili, I think I'll let her.

जब मैं वोट डालने जाता हूँ, तो मैं उस इंसान को चुनता हूँ जो मुझे लगता है कि काम पूरा कर पाएगा। मैं दाएं-बाएं (पार्टी देखकर) वोट नहीं देता।

When I go in and vote, I vote for the person I think will get the job done.I don't vote right-left.

मैं कोई राजनीतिक व्यक्ति नहीं हूँ। मैं पूरी जिंदगी डेमोक्रेट रहा हूँ, इसका मतलब यह नहीं कि मैंने मतदान केंद्र के अंदर जाकर आँख मूंदकर सिर्फ डेमोक्रेटिक पार्टी को ही वोट दे दिया हो।

I'm not a political guy. I've been a Democrat my whole life, but that didn't mean I went in and just pulled the Democratic ticket.

जितने भी साल मैंने कॉन्सर्ट देखे हैं, और जब भी मैंने किसी मनपसंद कलाकार को देखने के लिए पैसे दिए हैं, तो कुछ ऐसे गाने होते हैं जिन्हें मैं ज़रूर सुनना चाहता हूँ। इसलिए चाहे वह गाने ऐसे हों जिन्हें मैं हर रात बजाना चाहूँ या नहीं - या जिन्हें मैं सालों से बजा रहा हूँ या जिनसे आप बोर हो चुके हैं - आपको वही बजाना पड़ता है जिसके लिए लोगों ने पैसे चुकाए हैं और उनके साथ न्याय करना पड़ता है।

In the years that Ive seen concerts, when Ive paid to see somebody I want to see, there would be a certain amount of songs Id want to hear. So whether its stuff I want to play every night or not - or stuff Ive been playing for years or stuff you get tired of playing - you have to play what people pay for and make it fair for them.

मेरा नियम हमेशा एक ही एकल प्रस्तुति का रहेगा- चाहे मुझे नॉमिनेशन मिले या न मिले। कोई मिला-जुला रॉक ट्रिब्यूनल नहीं।

My deal will always be one solo performance-nominated or not. Not some thrown together rock tribute.

मेरे एल्बम में स्टूडियो के कुछ बेहतरीन और मंझे हुए संगीतकार बजाते हैं... वे अजीबोगरीब लोगों का एक ऐसा समूह हैं जिनके साथ मैंने सालों-साल काम किया है।

There's a band of studio session - hot players - that play on my albums... They're an eclectic bunch of misfits that I've worked with for years and years.

मेरे प्रशंसक मेरे प्रति बेहद वफादार रहे हैं, इसलिए मैं चाहता हूँ कि हर गाने में उनका पूरा जुड़ाव हो। मैं ऐसा कुछ नहीं करना चाहता जिससे उन पर कोई ऐसी चीज़ थोपी जाए जिसे वे सुनना न चाहें।

My fans have been very loyal to me, so I want 'em into the mix every song. I don't want 'em having breaks on stuff I'm trying to push on them.

इन सालों में मैंने गानों का एक बड़ा जखीरा इकट्ठा कर लिया है। जब मैं स्टेज पर उतरता हूँ तो करीब दो घंटे तक परफ़ॉर्म करता हूँ, और वह पूरा जोश और ऊर्जा से भरपूर होता है। अब मैंने ऐसे कई गाने जमा कर लिए हैं कि शो की शुरुआत ही धमाकेदार होती है, और पूरे शो में मैं बमुश्किल दो या तीन मद्धम (सैड या स्लो) गाने गाता हूँ।

Through the years I've accumulated this big bag of songs. When I go out I do close to two hours, and it's all just attitude - and up-tempo. I've accumulated so many of those types of songs now that the show just gets off with a bang, and I'll only do two or three ballads the whole show.
