You wake up in the morning你在早晨醒来
But the story is the same as before但这个故事还是和以前一样 You're looking in the mirror你照着镜子
But you just don't see yourself anymore但你再也不到自己 So give up what you know,将那些你所知道的
What you learned and what you're all about你所学到的,以及与你有关的事物抛在脑后
As long as you don't give up on you只要你不放弃自己
Then you can find your way out…你就可以找到自己的出路…
It don't take any money don't take nothing but what you have inside这不需要花钱,不须付出任何事物这一切都存在于你的内在
It doesn't matter if you fall down如果你跌倒了没有关系
It only counts if you try…一切都是值得的只要你愿意尝试…
So pull the blinds and let the light shine through所以拉开窗帘让阳光照耀进来吧 Don't you think it's time for the light难道你不觉得是该让阳光照进来的时候了吗 To finally shine right on you…让那些阳光照在你的身上… PRE:
So let them know what's underneath it all…让他们都知道你的表面下蕴藏着什么潜力…
You won't fall你不会一直堕落的
And baby you will move mountains too亲爱的你将会改变现状
There is nothing really left for you to prove没有什么事是你必须去证明的 CHORUS:
'Cause everybody knows you lose before you win因为在你获得胜利之前大家只看见你的失败
And if you're finally at the end of your rope那么何不把每个失败的终点 Well then you just begin都当作是全新的起跑点
If the world feels like it's left you behind如果你感觉到这个世界遗弃了你 Just get back up and you will find只要再打起精神你就会发现
Everybody knows in the end you got to lose just to win…你不须任何人的证明最终你将会赢得胜利失而复得
So pull the blinds and let the light shine through因此拉开窗帘让阳光照耀进来 Don't you think it's time for the light
To finally shine right on you…难道你不觉是该让阳光照耀进来照亮着你的时候了吗… (PRE)
The only thing left to do这是你唯一你要做的事情 (CHORUS)
You got to lose to win…你终究会失而复得…
And when you got to know in the end of your rope will begin把每个失败的终点都当作是全新的起跑点
'Cause everybody knows you lose before you win你不须任何人的证明最终体将会赢得胜利失而复得
And if you're finally at the end of rope well then you just begin把每个失败的终点都当作是全新的起跑点
Everybody knows you lose before you win你不须任何人的证明最终体将会赢得胜利失而复得
And if you're finally at the end of rope well then you just begin何不把每个失败的终点都当作全新的起跑点 (CHORUS)
A New Day Has Come 崭新的一天
——Celine Dion
《A New Day Has Come》开篇的第一首歌曲是在说生活是积极向上的,生活的节奏是跳跃的,Celine的倩影可以从音符中走出来。是Celine招牌式的情歌,歌曲里表现出的优美,大气,根本不是一般的歌手可以做的到的。Celine表示这首歌曲代表了双重意义:一方面希望美国面对911创伤后,能重新站起来,另一方面则是受到儿子雷奈查尔斯的启发,她希望能以母爱护佑儿子,今后他的成长路上无论面临多大的风雨,终会有崭新的一天。 A new day has come 崭新的一天 : I was waiting for so long 漫长等待
For a miracle to come 等待奇迹的出现
Everyone told me to be strong 大家告诉我要坚强 Hold on and don't shed a tear 坚定意志,要把泪儿藏
So through darkness and good times 走过漫漫长夜与美好时光 I knew I'd make it through 我知道我一定会安然无恙 And the world thought I had it all 世人都以为我拥有一切 But I was waiting for you 但是,我正在等待着你 Hush love 安静爱
I see a light in the sky 我看见一道光芒划过天际 Oh it's almost blinding me 几乎夺走我的目光
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love 不敢相信,天使触动了我 Let the rain come down 就让大雨滂沱落下 And wash away my tears 洗去我的泪水 Let it fill my soul 就让大雨注满我的灵魂 And drown my fears 淹没我的恐惧
Let it shatter the walls 就让大雨粉碎心墙 For a new sun 等待新的曙光
A new day has come 因为真爱来临
Where it was dark now there is light 光芒万丈,不再黑暗
Where there was pain, now there's joy 满心欢喜,不再痛苦
Where there was weakness, I found my strength 自信十足,不再脆弱 All in the eyes of a boy 我看到男孩的纯真眼神 Hush love 安静爱
I see a light in the sky 我看见一道光芒划过天际 Oh it's almost blinding me 几乎夺走我的目光
I can't believe I've been touched by an angel with love不敢相信,天使触动了我 Let the rain come down 就让大雨滂沱落下
