还有一首老歌,我常常拿来立志的--------When You Believe,(其实光这两个世界上最负盛名的女高音一起来唱这首歌就够令人激动的了)
Many night we've prayed 许多个夜晚我们祈祷
with no proof anyone could 不能证明谁能听得到
In our heart a hopeful song 我们的心就是希望之歌
we barely understood 我们刚刚明了
Now we are not afraid而如今我们不再惧怕
Although we know there's much to fear 虽然我们有太多害怕的事情
we were moving the mountian long 我们能够移山
Before we knew we could 在我们知道之前
There can be miracles 这一定是个奇迹
when you belive 当你相信的时候
Though hope is frail 尽管希望如此脆弱
it's hard to kill 但也不能轻易扑灭
who knows what miracles谁知道奇迹是什么
you can achieve你可以做到
when you belive 当你相信的时候
somehow you will 不知道什么原因你就会做到
you will when you belive当你相信的时候就会做到
And this time of fear在这个令人寒心时刻
when prayer so often proves in vain 当信徒们徒劳无功地证明
hope seems like the summer birds 希望像是夏天的小鸟
too swiftly flown away 飞快地掠过
and now i am standing here 现在我站在这里
my heart's so full i can't explain 我的心满满的 无法解释
seeking faith and speaking wordsi never thought i'd say 我从未想过我会说
there can be miracles这是个奇迹寻找信仰
when you believe (when you believe)当你相信的时候
though hope is frail 尽管希望如此脆弱
it's hard to kill 但也不能轻易扑灭
who know what miracle 谁知道什么是奇迹
you can achieve (you can achieve) 你可以做到
when you believe 当你相信的时候
somehow you will 不知道什么原因你就会做到
you will when you believe 当你相信的时候就会做到
they don't always happen when you ask 当你询问的时候它们不经常出现
and it's easy to give in to your fear 而且很轻易地带给你惧怕
but when you're blinded by your pain但是当你因为痛苦而盲目无助
can't see you way safe through the rainthought of a stillresilient voice
says love is very near 想象一种很平静的声音说爱是如此靠近不能在大雨中看清你的道路
there can be miracles (miracles) 这就是奇迹 奇迹
when you believe (when you believe) 当你相信的时候 当你相信的时候
though hope is frail 尽管希望如此脆弱
it's hard to kill 但也不能轻易扑灭
who know what miracles 谁知道什么是奇迹
you can achieve (you can achieve)你可以做到 你可以做到
when you believe 当你相信的时候
somehow you will不知道什么原因你就会做到
you will when you believe 你会做到当你相信的时候
you will when you believe 你会做到当你相信的时候
you will when you believe 你会做到当你相信的时候
just believe 就那么相信
you will when you believe 你会做到当你相信的时候
Miracle~~~
life needs miracle
do believe in miracles
you know, rainbow comes out after storm
Somewhere over the rainbow - Norah jones
Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Some day I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where troubles melt like lemondrops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
这首爵士名曲最早的出处应当是The Wizard of OZ 绿野仙踪(1939)的主题曲,由Judy Garland首唱。后来曾为无数知名歌手翻唱,除却相当多爵士乐手的翻唱演奏版本,如Chet Baker,Rosemary Clooney,Ella Fitzgerald,Frank Sinatra等等,当然也不乏流行、乡村歌手的演绎,如Barbara Streisand,Celine Dion,Eric Clapton,Willie Nelson,Faith Hill,Leann Rimes等。甚至还有Jimi Hendrix的电吉他演奏版,也相当够味。有兴趣的朋友不妨都找来听听,比较一下。 Céline Dion - Over the Rainbow (with lyrics)
And now, the end is near;
现在,我的末日将近,
And so I face the final curtain.
面临人生的最后落幕,
My friend, I'll make it clear,
我的朋友,我要说个清楚,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
向你讲述我的人生之路。
I've lived a life that's full.
我活过一个充实的人生,
I've traveled each and every highway;
我经历过每一段路途,
And more, much more I did,
而更重要的是,
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
Regrets, I've had a few;
遗憾,也有一些吧,
But then again, too few to mention.
算不上多,不值一提。
I did what I had to do
我做了该做的一切,
And saw it through without exemption.
洞悉世事,不求赦免。
I planned each charted course;
我规划过每一段人生,
Each careful step along the by way,
每一个细微的脚步,
and more, much more than this,
而更重要的是,
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
是的,你知道有些时候,
When I bit off more than I could chew.
我曾背负不能承受之重,
But through it all, when there was doubt,
但自始至终,就算充满疑惑,
I ate it up and spit it out.
我还是克服困难战胜了它。
I faced it all and I stood tall;
我挺直身躯,勇敢面对,
And did it my way.
用我自己的方式。
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
我曾经爱过,笑过,哭过,
I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
我曾经满足,也曾经失落,
And now, as tears subside,
现在,当泪水慢慢沉淀,
I find it all so amusing.
我发现原来可以一笑置之。
To think I did all that;
想到我所做过的一切,
And may I say - not in a shy way,
我可以说,毫不羞愧地说,
No, oh no not me,
我没有虚度,
I did it my way.
我用自己的方式。
For what is a man, what has he got?
男人究竟是什么,拥有什么?
If not himself, then he has naught.
除了自己,我们一无所有。
To say the things he truly feels;
说出心里最真实的感受,
And not the words of one who kneels.
而不是那些身不由己的话。
The record shows I took the blows -
时间证明,我经受住了磨难,
And did it my way!
用我自己的方式!
Yes, it was my way.
没错,这就是我的方式。
