[LEFT]Originally released December, 1968, "Stand By Your Man" was the first of her twenty No.1 hits which would establish Tammy as the "First Lady" of country music. In this soul-crunching song, Tammy's heartache, ill-fated marriages, and universal pain never felt so touching.

"Stand By Your Man", the song that virtually made Tammy Wynette's career sets the tone for her beautifully painful, delicate, and emotional album with the same name, "Stand By Your Man", that is as tender as it is universal. As her heart talks through the song, Tammy seems to ease her own pain while soothing over the listener. The song is like the eternally forgiving cry in which Tammy seems to reveal her pain while reminiscing on the good times and the bad times that eventually lead to the disastrous marriages and failed attempts at love.

This song is so soft, tender, and about as emotionally potent as her heart. At times, though she is singing about loving or losing her man, you can't help but feel, with a few slight lyrical changes, she is speaking from your heart as well as from hers. The realism, the ability to touch you like no other, and the striking voice that marks her music, all help create such a sonically beautiful song that will never become obsolete. As long as there is human emotions, there is always room for "Stand By Your Man".[/LEFT]

Stand by Your Man

Sometimes its hard to be a woman / 許多時候，做一個女人真難
Giving all your love to just one man / 把你所有的愛，都交給了一個男人
You'll have bad times / 你有你的痛苦
And he'll have good times / 他有他的歡樂
Doing things that you don't understand / 做著許多的事，你卻無法理解
But if you love him you'll forgive him / 但如果你是愛他的，你將會原諒他
Even though he's hard to understand / 即使是他是那樣的難以理解
And if you love him / 如果你是愛他的
Oh be proud of him / 你就會為他而感到驕傲
'Cause after all he's just a man / 無論如何，他畢竟只是一個男人

Stand by your man / 站在你的男人身旁
Give him two arms to cling to / 為他敞開呵護的雙臂
And something warm to come to / 並給予他所依戀的溫暖
When nights are cold and lonely / 當夜是寒冷和孤獨的時候

Stand by your man / 站在你的男人身旁
And tell the world you love him / 並告訴整個世界：你愛他
Keep giving all the love you can / 你將給予他你所有的愛
Stand by your man / 站在他的身旁

Stand by your man / 站在你的男人身旁
And show the world you love him / 並讓整個世界都知道：你愛他
Keep giving all the love you can / 你將給予他你所有的愛
Stand by your man / 站在他的身旁

[LEFT]Tammy's deepest sadness was she didn't stand by her man in spite of all her heart-cruching pains of loving and eventually losing her man. Tammy died on April 6, 1998. She passed away quietly in sleep at her home in Nashville, Tennessee.

In the 43rd Grammy, Elton John sang the song, "Stand By Your Man", in rock and roll for paying the great respect to Tammy Wyntte.[/LEFT]

A lovely and touching country song.  Fine translation of the lyric in general.  however, "Sometimes" is not 許多時候. "Oftentimes" is.   "Stand by your man" could also mean  支持你的男人

歌詞大意翻譯得基本準確，我也翻譯了幾句：

有時做個女人真難
把所有的愛都只給一個男人。
你會有難過的時刻，
他會有快樂的時光，
做著你不能明白的事情。
如果你愛他，就會原諒他，
儘管你難於理解他。
如果你愛他，就為他驕傲，
因為說到底，他不過是個男人。
