If it weren"t for your maturity none of this would have happened
네가 성숙하지 않았더라면 이런 일은 일어나지 않았을텐데.
If you weren"t so wise beyond your years I would"ve been able to control myself
네가 네 나이 이상으로 현명하지 않았더라면 난 내 자신을 통제할 수 있었을텐데.
If it weren"t for my attention you wouldn"t have been successful and
내 배려가 아니었더라면 넌 성공적이지 않았을텐데.
If it weren"t for me you would never have amounted to very much
내가 아니었더라면 넌 절대로 충분히 도달하지 못했을텐데.

Ooh this could be messy
이건 난처한 일이 될 수 있었어.
But you don"t seem to mind
그렇지만 넌 신경쓰지 않는 듯 보이는군.
Ooh don"t go telling everybody
모두에게 얘기하러 가지마.
And overlook this supposed crime
그리고 이 상상에서의 범죄는 눈감아줘.

We"ll fast forward to a few years later
우린 빠르게 몇년 후를 향해 나아갈거야.(몇년은 빠르게 지나갈거야.)
And no one knows except the both of us
그리고 우리 둘 외에는 아무도 모르지.
And I have honored your request for silence
난 아무말 하지 말아달라는 네 요청을 존중했어.
And you"ve washed your hands clean of this
그리고 넌 이 일에서 손을 씻었지.

You"re essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
넌 타고난 피고용인이고 난 네가 내게 의지하고 있어야 한다는게 좋아.
You"re kind of my protege and one day you"ll say you learned all you know from me
넌 내 피보호자(부하)에 속해. 언젠가 넌 네가 아는 모든 걸 내게서 배웠다고 말하겠지.
I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
난 네가 어린아이가 보호자에게 하듯 내게 의지하는 걸 알아.
I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it
난 네가 어린애처럼 날 성적으로 구분 짓는다는 걸 알아. 그리고 난 그걸 좋아하는 것 같아.

Ooh this could get messy
이건 난처해질 수 있었어.
But you don"t seem to mind
그렇지만 넌 신경쓰지 않는 것 같군.
Ooh don"t go telling everybody
모두에게 말하러 가지 말아.
And overlook this supposed crime
그리고 이 상상에서의 범죄는 눈감아줘.

We"ll fast forward to a few years later
우린 빠르게 몇년 후를 향해 나아갈거야.(몇년은 빠르게 지나갈거야.)
And no one knows except the both of us
그리고 우리 둘 외에는 아무도 모르지.
And I have honored your request for silence
난 아무말 하지 말아달라는 네 요청을 존중했어.
And you"ve washed your hands clean of this
그리고 넌 이 일에서 손을 씻었지.

what part of our history"s reinvented and under rug swept?
우리일 중에 어떤 부분이 재창조되고 어떤 부분이 감춰질까?
what part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
네 기억의 어떤 부분이 선택되고 어떤 부분이 잊혀지기 쉬울까?
what with this distance it seems so obvious?
무엇이 분명해 보이는 이 차이를 만들지?

Just make sure you don"t tell on me especially to members of your family
네가 특히 너의 가족에게 내 이야기를 하지 않는 다는 것만은 분명히 하자구.
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
우린 이 일을 우리 스스로 최선을 다해서 간직하고 우리 내면의 보안관(?)에게는 말하지 말자.
I wish I could tell the world cuz you"re such a pretty thing when you"re done up properly
난 네가 완전히 지쳐 있을 때 세상에 얘기할 수 있기를 바래. 넌 정말 귀엽거든.
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
만약 니가 몸무게에 신경쓰고 네 멋진 몸을 유지한다면 난 언젠가 너와 결혼하고 싶어질 수도 있겠지.

Ooh this could be messy and
이건 곤란해질 수 있었어.
Ooh I don"t seem to mind
그치만 난 신경쓰지 않는 것 같아.
Ooh don"t go telling everybody
모두에게 말하러 가지 말아.
And overlook this supposed crime
그리고 이 상상에서의 범죄는 눈감아줘.

 

"Hands Clean" is a pop-rock song performed by Alanis Morissette, featured on her 2002 album Under Rug Swept. It released as the album's first single on February 4, 2002.

The narrative voice of the song alternates between verses, forming a kind of dialogue between two people, which apparently chronicles a love affair that an underage Morissette had with a record executive.[1][2] She reportedly said in an interview to US Weekly that the song is about an affair she had with a man who was 29-years old, and she was 14[3]. Their relationship lasted for 5 years.[4][5].

According to another interview, given to Rex Rutkoski and published in the music magazine The Inside Connection, Alanis explained that: “I did it for the sake of my being liberated at long last. Whether you call it statutory rape or inappropriate behavior by an adult—it doesn't matter. I felt at the time I had only two choices—I pick either working with this person or not doing music at all. Hopefully some 16-year-old can think of me for even 10 milliseconds and realize they're not alone or crazy."[6]

Some people have speculated that the relationship referenced is the same one that served as the basis for her earlier hit, "You Oughta Know".

An acoustic version of "Hands Clean" was released as a b-side to "Precious Illusions", the album's second single, and included on the Under Rug Swept rarities collection Feast on Scraps.

"Hands Clean" did well with U.S. radio, peaking at number three on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart and number twenty-three on the Billboard Hot 100, and it helped Under Rug Swept go platinum in the U.S. Its music video featured a television monitor illustrating the single's presumed inspiration through its production and eventual release as a mainstream hit. It begins in a sushi bar, with Alanis seeing someone she appeared hesitant to meet. A flashback occurs to where they had met before, and shows the rejection of affection on the part of Alanis. It then follows her musical successes for the next few months until she meets with him again, older and wiser. The video features actor Chris Sarandon.
