路漫漫其修遠兮 吾將上下而求索

三寶作的曲，她從海上來的片尾曲，劉沁唱的。

你可以離我遠遠
我有我自己的視野
燃燒的烈焰　就算刺眼
在淚水裏　抱有信念
人生有太多的波折
永恆中滲透著苦澀

就讓我奔跑　不停地奔跑
追逐生命裏的自由去尋找
瞬間的心動　用一生回憶
不在寂寞中顯示這傷痛

在寧靜中的等待
從塵埃中開出花來

-Maria Arredondo

Passion is sweet
Love makes weak
You said you cherished your freedom so
You refused to let it go

Follow your fate
Love and hate
never failed to seize the day
Don’t give yourself away

Oh when the night falls
And you’re all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of

My skin’s still burning from your touch
Oh I just can’t get enough
I said I wouldn’t ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the world keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can’t predict where it ends
If you’re the rock I’ll crush against

Trapped in a crowd
Music’s loud
I said I loved my freedom too
Now I’m not so sure I do

All eyes on you
Wings so true
Better quit while your ahead
Now I’m not so sure I am

Oh when the night falls
And you’re all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of

My skin’s still burning from your touch
Oh I just can’t get enough
I said I wouldn’t ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the world keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can’t predict where it ends
If you’re the rock I’ll crush against

My soul, my heart
If your near or if your far
My life, my love
You can have it all

Oh when the night falls
And you’re all alone
In your deepest sleep
What are you dreaming of

My skin’s still burning from your touch
Oh I just can’t get enough
I said I wouldn’t ask for much
But your eyes are dangerous
So the world keeps spinning in my head
Can we drop this masquerade
I can’t predict where it ends
If you’re the rock I’ll crush against

If you’re the rock i’ll crush against

slow dancing tight
my barren heart and i
your name used to taste so sweet
then you beat the love right out of me
it’s a mystery how people behave!
how we long for a life as a slave
when he kissed me i gladly gave in
to a fight nobody could win

man, he left me blue
and if i could i would do it too
i tell you now like i told you before
love is a powerful force
and it’s a mystery how people behave!
how we long for a life as a slave
and tumble into any open arms
that will only ever do you harm

oh, you you it’s always you
the best kisser that i ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of
nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
all for a happy end

it’s a mistery how people behave!
how we worry ourselves to the grave
when he kissed me i lost everything
then i got up and did it again

oh you you, it’s always you, the hardest hitter that i ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of

ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend
all for a happy end

今夜的枕頭　有咱昨暝的溫存，
夢醒了後　你著惦惦離開阮，
放阮一人　守著無聊的眠床，
暝哪會這呢長

溫柔的雙手　絆過你的脖子
想要挽回　你的放蕩的靈魂
忍受孤單　守著寂寞的眠床
路哪會這呢遠

明明知影　伊只是靠岸的船
嘛是瞭解　咱只有露水的情份
過了今夜　又擱是無聊的青春
這甘不是　紅顏的命運

傻孩子–閻韋伶

看著你無暇的表情 我猜不透的 只是你的心
我一直冷靜 卻還是走不出 這祕密 好孤寂
我開始失去了勇氣 而你 卻好像在遊戲
我假裝清醒 看清你的心 終於我選擇了離去

你像個孩子一樣的被我看穿 在你面前我試著隱瞞
所有過去全都變成傷害
我像個傻子一樣的被你出賣 一字一句都要我承擔
到了最後我選擇 分開

我開始失去了勇氣 而你 卻好像在遊戲
我假裝清醒 看清你的心 終於我 選擇離去

你像個孩子一樣的被我看穿 在你面前我試著隱瞞
所有過去全都變成傷害
我像個傻子一樣的被你出賣 一字一句都要我承擔
到了最後 我選擇分開

我注意到中間在教室上課的那一段是西班牙文課…

Here’s a video of Lea Salonga auditioning for the role Kim in Miss Saigon.

The guys on this vid were utterly desperate searching for an Asian who can play the role of Kim for the play Miss Saigon. As soon as Lea finished her trial of the song Sun and Moon, their faces cleared up. I remember watching a documentary that claims that talent search team were about to give up ’til they heard Lea and Monique Wilson. The producers decided to search for talents among Asian countries and I think Philippines was the last country they decided to search to, one of the French producers remembered having watched a Lino Brocka film about the Marcos regime and he recalled a scene in which, a group of activists were singing and told himself that these people can sing! Thus deciding to go in the Phils to search for talents who can play the roles for the play. They found Lea.

Still, here are Lea Salonga and Monique Wilson on final auditions and selection process. The second song Lea and also Monique did is a song called “too much for one heart”, a song originally included in Miss Saigon but was thrown out the last minute and replaced with “Please.”

Lea was offered the lead role, with Wilson as the alternate (who was also assigned the role of bar girl Mimi).

Here’s Lea’s performance in Miss Saigon, a song called “Sun and Moon.” Touching!

And here’s the last part, Lea’s interview with Terry Wogan (1989).

Lea sings “on my own” in Les Miserables

And now I’m all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend
Without a face to say hello to
And now the night is near
Now I can make believe he’s here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I’m happy
With the company I’m keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head

On my own
Pretending he’s beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me

In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights
Are misty in the river
In the darkness
The trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me
Forever and forever

And I know it’s only in my mind
That I’m talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there’s a way for us

I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river’s just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers

I love him
But everyday I’m learning
All my life I’ve only bee pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that’s full of happiness that I
Have never known

I love him, I love him, I love him
But only on my own

Blue blue caravan
Winding down to the valley of lights
My true love is a man
Who would hold me for ten thousand nights
In the wild wild wailing of wind
He’s a house ‘neath the soft yellow moon.
So blue blue caravan
Won’t you carry me down to him soon

Blue blue caravan
Won’t you drive away all of these tears
For my true love is a man
That I haven’t seen in years
He said, “Go where you have to
For I belong to you until my dying day.”
So like a fool, blue caravan
I believed him and I walked away.

Oh my blue blue caravan
The highway is my great wall
For my true love is a man
Who never existed at all
Oh he was a beautiful fiction
I invented to keep out the cold
But now, my blue blue caravan
I can feel my heart growing old
Oh my blue blue caravan
I can feel my heart growing old

你走了　換一個寂寞　和我對坐
搖晃的　開著的門口　冷風來笑我
這一場　支離破碎的夢　是不是你想要的結果
痛過　傷過　好過沒愛過　就是我現在的感受

傷口再痛　痛不過　背叛的傷痛
淚水再多　多不過　你給的冷漠
我站在你給的角落　看透你虛假的溫柔
我知道這一次　我還是不懂

你走吧　別又再回頭　說你難過
這一次　不會再接受　廉價的笑容
這一場　支離破碎的夢　是不是你想要的結果
痛過　傷過　好過沒愛過　就是我現在的感受

傷口再痛　痛不過　背叛的傷痛
淚水再多　多不過　你給的冷漢
我走到你給的盡頭　領悟你所謂的承諾
我知道為什麼　從不說愛我

別再用那眼神看著我
讓我走　不要再傷害我
還給你要的自由　是種解脫

傷口再痛　痛不過　背叛的傷痛
淚水再多　多不過　你給的冷漠
我站在你給的角落　看透你虛假的溫柔
我知道這一次　我還是不懂

傷口再痛　痛不過　背叛的傷痛
淚水再多　多不過　你給的冷漠
我走到你給的盡頭　領悟你所謂的承諾
我知道為什麼　你從不說愛我

Maybe they’re there
Or maybe it’s nothing at all
As she draws lipstick smears on the wall

The girl in the other room
She powders her face
And stares hard into her reflection

The girl in the other room
She stifles a yawn
Adjusting the strap of her gown
She tosses her tresses
Her lover undresses
Turning the last lamp light down
What’s that voice we’re hearing
We should be sleeping
Could that be someone who’s weeping
Maybe she’s there
Maybe there’s nothing to see
Just a trace of what used to be
The girl in the other room
She darkens her lash and blushes
She seems to look familiar

“It’s so beautiful here,” she says,
“This moment now and this moment, now.”
And I never thought I would find her here:
Flannel and satin, my four walls transformed.
But she’s looking at me, straight to center,
No room at all for any other thought.

And I know I don’t want this, oh, I swear I don’t want this.
There’s a reason not to want this but I forgot.

In the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder,
Hair falling forward, mouth all askew.
Fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead:
“Passengers missing, we’re looking for you.”
And she dreams through the noise, her weight against me,
Face pressed into the corduroy grooves.

Maybe it means nothing, maybe it means nothing,
Maybe it means nothing, but I’m afraid to move.

And the words: they’re everything and nothing.
I want to search for her in the offhand remarks.
Who are you, taking coffee, no sugar?
Who are you, echoing street signs?
Who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover,
Dark curtains drawn by the passage of time?

Oh, words, like rain, how sweet the sound.
“Well anyway,” she says, “I’ll see you around…”

Plus de chocs et plus de prières
Moins de clopes, plus de somnifères
Refaire la chose que je préfère
Tenir, tenir, tenir debout et demain
Appeler quelqu’un qui m’aime bien
L’étonner, changer de refrain
L’inviter, manger plus ou moins
Tenir, tenir, tenir debout et demain
Mettre une robe, saluer le voisin
Essayer de plaire à quelqu’un
M’amuser de tout et de rien
Tenir, tenir, tenir debout et demain

Prendre l’air, parler à quelqu’un
Avoir l’air d’aller plutôt bien
Déjeuner, y penser au moins
Tenir, tenir, tenir debout et demain

跟著感覺走　緊抓住夢的手　腳步越來越輕　越來越快活
儘情揮灑自己的笑容　愛情會在任何地方留我

跟著感覺走　緊抓住夢的手　藍天越來越近　越來越溫柔
心情就像風一樣自由　突然發現　一個完全不同的我

跟著感覺走　讓它帶著我　希望就在不遠處等著我
跟著感覺走　讓它帶著我　夢想的事那裡都會有

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today

I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you’ve done
Forgive all your mistakes
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call you but I know you won’t be there

I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won’t admit
Sometimes I just want to hide ’cause it’s you I miss
You know it’s so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this

Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I would tell you how much that
I’ve missed you since you’ve been away

Oh, it’s dangerous
It’s so out of line to try to turn back time

I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself

By hurting you

Hoy he querido tenerla cerca
Hoy he sentido que me hace falta
Yo sé que el tiempo no ha de borrarla
Honda es su huella dentro mi alma.
Sin ella no puedo vivir(no puedo más)
Sin ella el amor no es amor
Sin ella la vida no tiene razón
Sin ella el amor no es amor.(bis)
La ausencia viene hablar conmigo
Me he dado cuenta que la he perdido
Solo te he amado y comprendido
No había equilibrio en nuestro amor.
Sin ella no puedo vivir(no puedo más)
Sin ella el amor no es amor
Sin ella la vida no tiene razón
Sin ella el amor no es amor.(bis)

翻開陳舊的往事　看見一身滄桑
走過陌生的地方  我回到異鄉
風吹得太狂　我感到有點涼

我在鄉愁裡跌倒　從陌生中成長
未來旅程卻更長  我想到北方
無助的眺望　我知道不能忘

北風又傳來熟悉的聲音
剎那間讓我突然覺得好冷
彷彿在告訴我走得太遠
有沒有忘記最初的相約

young ladies, in fact, there is nothing you need from me…
just focus on your dreams hard now and then god will pave the way for you…
what you really need is not me nor from me… just open your mind as well as your heart and you will find the answer… i am positive…
you will definitely find your way out…but just not me nor what i think of you…
yes, i can always be kind and supportive, saying what you do is all right; still, why should i do something that exhausts me if i might not be able to stay till the day your dreams come true?
what i’ve carried is already too heavy, i cannot bear even one more feather.
still, you are both somebody to remember by years later…
this i am sure…
in a way, you don’t need the real me bad…
what lives inside your minds is a beautiful fiction you invented…
it’s just like the way i once thought i needed someone though in fact, it may not be true…
yes, i know the case doesn’t apply to me and you, it’s different this time, you are still people i care a lot for at least for now, although not in an explicit way…
there is no need to be so critical and precise in every word i say, every attitude i take, in that it doesn’t help a bit…and i feel so stressed that i can never tell a shred of truth…
in fact, what really counts is the effort and thought put into life…
don’t confuse facts with the emotional support i am so entitled to give
you are dear friends to cherish after all
i don’t ever want to regret later for not having done things right to seize you

but of course you don’t know, you never know how i am incapable of rising from the ashes, how i strive for a decent life, how i finally compromised…of course, these are things left unsaid and there’s no need in airing our grievances everyday, i am too tired to hear it…and you ask me to share with you my thought and identify with your life…
this is just so egocentric in a manner of speaking…

這場雨 會不會下不完
這一刻 最好能更緩慢
有些話就像 撐不開的傘
明明想靠近對方 卻出現一種阻擋
讓心慌張

你有我 沒有過的嚮往
我才會 一路苦苦追趕
我只有過往 卻沒有遠方
遲遲不放的癡狂 怎會在多年以後
變成這樣

我們在傘下如此執著凝望
愛與割捨來回碰撞
想牽手走不同的方向 是綑綁
我們在傘下準備失去對方
帶著了解 微笑和淚光
我會祝福你 傘外的世界 有一片蔚藍

我的小時候　吵鬧任性的時候　我的外婆　總會唱歌哄我
夏天的午後　老老的歌安慰我　那首歌　好像這樣唱的
天黑黑　欲落雨　天黑黑　黑黑

離開小時候　有了自己的生活　新鮮的歌　新鮮的念頭
任性和衝動　無法控制的時候　我忘記　還有這樣的歌
天黑黑　欲落雨　天黑黑　黑黑

我愛上讓我奮不顧身的一個人　我以為這就是我所追求的世界
然而橫衝直撞　被誤解被騙　是否成人的世界背後　總有殘缺
我走在每天必須面對的分岔路　我懷念過去單純美好的小幸福
愛總是讓人哭　讓人覺得不滿足　天空很大卻看不清楚　好孤獨

天黑的時候　我又想起那首歌　突然期待　下起安靜的雨
原來外婆的道理　早就唱給我聽　下起雨　也要勇敢前進
我相信　一切都會平息　我現在　好想回家去
天黑黑　欲落雨　天黑黑　黑黑

噓~不要傳出去>///<

我們都曾經寂寞而給對方承諾　我們都因為折磨而厭倦了生活
只是這樣的日子　同樣的方式　還要多久
我們改變了態度而接納了對方　我們委屈了自己成全誰的夢想
只是這樣的日子　還剩下多少　已不重要

時常想起過去的溫存　它讓我在夜裡不會冷
你說一個人的美麗是認真　兩個人能在一起是緣份

早知道是這樣　像夢一場　我才不會把愛都放在同一個地方
我能原諒　你的荒唐　荒唐的是我沒有辦法遺忘
早知道是這樣　如夢一場　我又何必把淚都鎖在自己的眼眶
讓你去瘋　讓你去狂　讓你在沒有我的地方堅強
讓我在沒有你的地方療傷

作詞: 如苑
主唱: 林芯儀

以為什麼都知道　   我付出都是為你好
卻忘記用心聆聽你　    心中的問號

執著可能是困擾　 太陽不為誰起得早
開始往自己心裡找　 我將自己縮小

＃也許　愛不該只取悅你
也許　愛不在乎你是否回應
也許　甘於一切苦樂都受
也許　愛是讓你成為你

執著可能是困擾　 太陽不為誰起得早
善意並不分大或小　 我都說好好好

詞曲/張懸

深深的話要淺淺地說
長長的路要揮霍地走

大大的世界要率真地感受
會痛的傷口要輕輕地揉

被抱緊的時候去勇敢地祝福─
不被了解的時候，相信自己
值得用心疼做過的夢
在乎的人要傻傻地愛
經歷的事就慢慢地來

想法很多的時候要細膩地用
擁有一切之後就讓它走
在某個角落放一首歌

別忘了要快樂
別忘了要溫柔

Le ciel obscur. La solitude qui nous donne la peine.
Le coeur qui grise à cause qu’il a vécu seul.
L’amour est parti, il y a longtemps que je t’ai vu, c’est trop long.
C’était incroyable que je peux vivre comme ça.

天黑了　孤獨又慢慢割著　有人的心又開始疼了
愛很遠了　很久沒再見了　就這樣竟然也能活著

你聽寂寞在唱歌　輕輕的　狠狠的
歌聲是這麼殘忍　讓人忍不住淚流成河

誰說的　人非要快樂不可　好像快樂由得人選擇
找不到的　那個人來不來呢　我會是誰的誰是我的

＊你聽寂寞在唱歌　輕輕的　狠狠的
歌聲是這麼殘忍　讓人忍不住淚流成河

你聽寂寞在唱歌　溫柔的　瘋狂的
悲傷越來越深刻　怎樣才能夠讓它停呢

你聽寂寞在唱歌　輕輕的　狠狠的
歌聲是這麼殘忍　讓人忍不住淚流成河

你聽寂寞在唱歌　溫柔的　瘋狂的
悲傷越來越深刻　誰能幫個忙讓它停呢

天黑得　像不會再天亮了　明不明天　也無所謂了
就靜靜的　看青春難依難捨　淚還是熱的淚痕冷了

OS:
假使你問我　人生為著啥
我會講為三頓　為生活　甲為某子
但是看別人的臉色　配合別人的心晟　這是唯一的條件
有人認為這是為生活　嘛有人認為這是一種拖磨
因為已經很久不知影笑容生做按怎
開始懷疑故事中的主角　到底甘是我
因為你嘛知影　咱攏是為別人在活

愛像一首歌　一首有頭無尾的歌
有時快樂　有時悲傷　有時只剩孤單
愛像一首歌　紀錄咱的心晟甲生活
有時清醒　有時懷疑　人生到底為著啥

回過頭去看　熊熊才知影　咱的舞台　愛用青春來換
回過頭去看　人生過未一半　煞不知如何來唱這條歌

這首歌唱啊唱未煞　往事一幕幕親像電影
有時陣為著渡生活　就愛配合別人心晟
這首歌唱甲心攏破　一字一句攏是拖磨
因為沒人知　我的心　有多痛

因為你嘛知　咱永遠　為別人在活

This is my favorite version, by Tina Arena.

Enjoy it :)

Whistle down the wind, let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain, light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary
Howl at the stars, whisper when your sleeping
I’ll be there to hold you, I’ll be there to stop
The chills and all the weeping

Make it clear and strong, so the whole night long
Every signal that you send, until the very end
I will not abandon you my precious friend

So try and stem the tide, then you’ll raise a banner
Send a flare up in the sky, try to burn a torch
And try to build a bonfire
Every signal that you send, until the very end, I’m there

So whistle down the wind, for I have always been right there

《Hijo de la luna》~Mecano

Tonto el que no entienda.

Cuenta una leyenda
Que una hembra gitana
Conjuró a la luna
Hasta el amanecer.
Llorando pedía
Al llegar el día
Desposar un calé.

“Tendrás a tu hombre,
Piel morena,”
Desde el cielo
Habló la luna llena.
“Pero a cambio quiero
El hijo primero
Que le engendres a él.
Que quien su hijo inmola
Para no estar sola
Poco le iba a querer.”

Estribillo:
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer.
Dime, luna de plata,
Qué pretendes hacer
Con un niño de piel.
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha,
Hijo de la luna.

De padre canela
Nació un niño
Blanco como el lomo
De un armiño,
Con los ojos grises
En vez de aceituna –
Niño albino de luna.
“¡Maldita su estampa!
Este hijo es de un payo
Y yo no me lo callo.”

Estribillo

Gitano al creerse deshonrado,
Se fue a su mujer,
Cuchillo en mano.
“¿De quién es el hijo?
Me has engañado fijo.”
Y de muerte la hirió.
Luego se hizo al monte
Con el niño en brazos
Y allí le abandonó.

Estribillo

Y en las noches
Que haya luna llena
Será porque el niño
Esté de buenas.
Y si el niño llora
Menguará la luna
Para hacerle una cuna.
Y si el niño llora
Menguará la luna
Para hacerle una cuna.

《Son of the moon》

Foolish is he who doesn’t understand.

A legend tells of a gipsy woman
Who pleaded with the moon until dawn.
Weeping she begged
At the break of dawn
To marry a gipsy man.

“You’ll have your man, tawny skin,”
Said the full moon from the sky.
“But in return I want the first child
That you have with him.
Because she who sacrifices her child
So that she is not alone,
Isn’t likely to love it very much.”

Chorus:
Moon, you want to be mother,
But you cannot find a love
Who makes you a woman.
Tell me, silver moon,
What you intend to do
With a child of flesh.
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha,
Son of the moon.

From a cinnamon-skinned father
A son was born,
White as the back of an ermine,
With grey eyes instead of olive –
Moon’s albino child.
Damn his appearance!
his is not a gipsy man’s son
And I will not put up with that.”

Chorus

Believing to be dishonoured,
The gipsy went to his wife,
A knife in his hand.
“Whose son is this?
You’ve certainly fooled me!”
And he wounded her mortally.
Then he went to the woodlands
With the child in his arms
And left it behind there.

Chorus

And the nights the moon is full
It is because the child
Is in a good mood.
And if the child cries,
The moon wanes
To make it a cradle.
And if the child cries,
The moon wanes
To make it a cradle.

詞曲、編曲、吉他、演唱、合音：黃建為
The sunshine’s come, the flowers dance along the river, the mountain.

It’s cold in the stream, I jump in and swim,

being a dreamer, saying nothing in words.
Approaching to a child, ignoring the crowd.

I hear my heart beats, it’s so real.

Nameless song, I’ve sung it over the way.

And maybe I’ll be alone to be on the tramp with the moon.

So you empty the roads leading the craft for truth.
Cause I don’t have wings to fly so freely like birds in the sky.

I’ll have to let go of mind to soar in the wind and smile.

Nous sommes nos propres pères
Si jeunes et pourtant si vieux, ça me fait penser, tu sais
Nous sommes nos propres mères
Si jeunes et si sérieux, mais ça va changer
On passe le temps à faire des plans pour le lendemain
Pendant que le beau temps passe et nous laisse vide et incertain
On perd trop de temps à suer et s’écorcher les mains
A quoi ça sert si on n’est pas sûr de voir demain
A rien
{Refrain:}
Alors on vit chaque jour comme le dernier
Et vous feriez pareil si seulement vous saviez
Combien de fois la fin du monde nous a frôlés
Alors on vit chaque jour comme le dernier
Parce qu’on vient de loin

Quand les temps sont durs
On se dit : “Pire que notre histoire n’existe pas”
Et quand l’hiver perdure
On se dit simplement que la chaleur nous reviendra
Et c’est facile comme ça
Jour après jour
On voit combien tout est éphèmere
Alors même en amour
J’aimerai chaque reine
Comme si c’était la dernière
L’air est trop lourd
Quand on ne vit que sur des prières
Moi je savoure chaque instant
Bien avant que s’éteigne la lumière

{au Refrain}

Jour après jour
On voit combien tout est éphémère
Alors vivons pendant qu’on peut encore le faire
Mes chers

{au Refrain}

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

 It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one’s for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind
I hope you don’t mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

here ya go,

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way
To never let it get that far

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can’t possibly break
When it wasn’t even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don’t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you

“Because Of You”: written by Clarkson, Ben Moody, & David Hodges. “‘Because Of You’ isn’t about breakups, it’s about my family. It is about growing up in a broken home. My parents were together for 17 years or so, and then all of the sudden, something went wrong. But I’ve talked to lots of friends who have seen domestic violence in their homes; I didn’t. But if you see those things as a child, you see a family member cheating or people not trusting each other or people not communicating with each other, that effects you. You end up afraid to trust people, because you think you’re going to get screwed over. Me and a friend of mine were up late one night talking about our lives, and it led to this song. I wrote it when I was 16, my friend was having a really hard time with her family. It was a different situation than mine, but I could relate to what she was going through. My parents were together for a long time, and suddenly one thing happens, and it’s over. That could happen to me. It made me feel like, why would I want to open up and trust someone? I know that it’s a childish way to look at it; life is a risk, and anything worth having is worth taking a risk for, but I wrote it when I was 16. I have learned a lot since then. At the same time, it doesn’t matter how old you are, you can still relate. I was 6 when my parents got divorced. I used to be the most closed off person. I didn’t want to get hurt. I had been messed over by friends, and I had been through a lot with my family. I didn’t pity myself, but I did put a wall up. I’m smarter now, but I have a good relationship with God, and that’s gotten better over the years. That’s why I’ve gotten smarter about situations. I’m a very trusting person now. I’m not going to let people screw me over left and right, but at the same time I’m not going to close myself off. That’s a big step for me.”

作詞：姚若龍　作曲：陳國華

愛你好像半暝啊坐火車啊　夢搖來搖去心驚惶
睡了一下驚醒一下　瞇眼看窗外到了哪

你的愛就像星辰　偶爾很亮　偶爾很暗
我不盼絢麗的燦爛　只求微光能擋風寒

是甘願也就不怕難　不甘願早放聲哭喊
我要你　別的都不管　倔強變勇敢　茫然變釋然

是甘願所以能美滿　不甘願才會說傷感
我愛你　心就特別軟　平淡也浪漫　無語也溫暖

遙遠的看著妳 空氣好冷
我走在陽光下 像個遊魂

妳等著那個人 無悔無恨
我在原點終點之間 難捨難分

多少次想對妳大聲說出
有人為妳偷偷在哭
為了他再多苦妳都忍住
我的溫柔妳不在乎

妳的喜悲 全交給我
我的煎熬 卻不能說
最近的幸福 最遙遠的路 誰的錯

是朋友是情人 我不追問
是痴心是愚蠢 妳不心疼
每個人的人生 各有旅程
妳的世界我的存在 像個路人

多少次想對妳大聲說出
有人為妳偷偷在哭
為了他再多苦妳都忍住
我的溫柔妳不在乎

妳的喜悲 全交給我
我的煎熬 卻不能說
最近的幸福 最遙遠的路 誰的錯

多少次想對妳大聲說出
有人為妳偷偷在哭
我在為妳偷偷在哭

Well…let’s hope that the guy won’t cry anymore…

拿著你給的照片 熟悉的那一條街
只是沒了你的畫面 我們回不到那天

你會不會忽然的出現 在街角的咖啡店
我會帶著笑臉 揮手寒喧 和你坐著聊聊天

我多麼想和你見一面 看看你最近改變
不再去說從前 只是寒喧
對你說一句 只是說一句 好久不見

拿著你給的照片 熟悉的那一條街
只是沒了你的畫面 我們回不到那天

你會不會忽然的出現 在街角的咖啡店
我會帶著笑臉 揮手寒喧 和你坐著聊聊天

我多麼想和你見一面 看看你最近改變
不再去說從前 只是寒喧
對你說一句 只是說一句 好久不見
