Mother Machree 慈母颂
There’s a spot in my heart 在我心中有那么一隅，
which no colleen may own; 任何少女也不能占据。
There’s a depth in my soul 它埋在我灵魂的深处，
never sounded or known; 我从不声张从不表露。
There’s a place in my memory 在我的记忆里，
my life that you fill; 生活充满着你。
No other can take it 别人不能替代，
no one ever will; 永远也无例外。
Every sorrow or care 逝去的欢乐日子里，
in the dear days gone by; 也曾有烦恼和忧伤。
Was made bright by the light 但你眸中微笑的光，
of the smile in your eye; 总可以把一切照亮。
Like a candle that’s set 宛如一支点燃的蜡烛，
in a window at night; 茫茫黑夜中透过窗户。
Your fond love has cheered me 你温柔的爱鼓舞着我，
and guided me right; 指引我走上正确道路。
Sure I love the dear silver 我爱你美丽的头髪，
that shines in your hair; 闪烁着熠熠的银光。
And the brow that’s all furrowed 我爱你额上的皱纹，
and wrinkled with care; 刻满了岁月的沧桑。
I kiss the dear fingers 我吻你优美的双手，
so toil warm for me; 为我辛劳暖我心房。
Oh! God bless you and 愿主保佑与你同在，
keep you, mother machree! 慈母啊，我的亲娘
《Time To Say Goodbye》
Time To Say Goodbye
We talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
As we go on We remember
All the times we Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever We will still be
Friends Forever
If we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
译文
不要停顿?永不放弃? 高昂起头 到达顶峰。 让世界看见你的收获? 找回自己。 坚持自己想达到的境地? 坚持自我。 当世界的重担压到了你的肩头时? 笑一笑?让它去。 如果有人打击你? 走过去?不要回头? 你只须负责自己。 难道你不知道他们说的是真的? 生活?不容易? 但你的时机将会来到? 千万别停滞不进取。 梦想自己坠入了情网? 自己想过的任何事情? 当世界仿佛变得太艰难时? 找回自己。 努力不为任何事担忧? 享受生活能带来的好时光。 让这一切留在你心里? 得让自己的感情流露。 幻想就是答案? 因为你就是自己的命运。 你永远不必孤独? 当时间支持着你。 难道你不知道他们说的是真的? 这些事都是为了考验你。 但你的时机将会来到? 千万别停滞不进取。 难道你不知道他们说的是真的? 事情发生都有道理。 但你的时机将会来到? 千万别停滞不进取。
