Always Tomorrow

希望永恒

诗文/雨桐

谁又不是

满怀着希望的来

带着最纯真的笑靥

一张无辜的脸

当有一天

不得不面对现实

转身才明了

生活的真味

赤裸裸的残酷

不忍直视

无力回看

所以总是成长了

才理解不想长大

是怎样的心情

孩童的世界

还允许让自己的幼稚

生活在童话里甜蜜的谎言

一切都在变

我就算不变

也变了

请理解这些都在所难免

感谢你不再欺骗

好在一息尚存

便是希望

好在星星之火

便是永恒的起点

一首《希望永恒》，不知多少次被感动，被鼓舞。一种来自内心深处的火苗，尊重生命的自然，默默又不甘平凡地燃烧，没错，事物从不曾停留在原处，唯一确信的便是改变。对于我们，能做的，便是保留内心原有的信念，尊重这种改变。你，仍然是你，而成就，不会是过去的成就。一直没有勇气将这么美的歌词翻译成中文，原汁原味，更能震撼人心，不过，还是将自己拙劣的翻译分享给大家，望多多指教，翻译出地道的歌词，也算不亵渎这首好歌。

Always Tomorrow

Gloria Estefan

I've been alone inside myself, far too long  

我的内心深处，已经孤独太久太久

Never really wanted it that way, but I let it happen  

从未真正想要如此，却依然任其发展

If I could do it all again, my life would be infinitely better than before  

如果我能够让一切重来，生活将无比美好

I wouldn't waste a moment  

我会珍惜每一刻

Make time for laughing with my friends  

用来与朋友尽情欢笑

Make love, make music, make amends  

用来爱，用来尽享音乐，用来改进

Try to make a difference, try to love, try to understand 

试着创造一些奇迹，试着去爱，试着去理解

Instead of just giving up, I'd use the power at my command 

而不是就这样放弃，我将运用生命赋予的一切力量

That's why there's always tomorrow, to start over again 

这就是为何总有明天，让一切重新开始

Things will never stay the same, the only one sure thing is change. 

事物从未有绝对，唯一确定的事情便是改变

That's why there's always tommorow  

这就是为什么希望永恒

I guess it took a little time, for me to see  

我想需要一些时间，让我看清

The reason I was born into this world

来到这个世界的意义

And what I'd have to go through

和我必须要经历的

For I've finially realized, that I could be infinitely better than before, defintely stronger 

因为我最终发觉，我完全能够超越过去，更加强大

I'll face whatever comes my way, savor each moment of the day

 我将面对出现在我世界里的一切，品味生命里的每一刻

Love as many people as I can along the way  

一路上尽我所能地去爱更多的人

Help someone who's given up, if it's just to raise my eyes and pray  

帮助那些放弃的人们，只是为了举目祈祷

That's why there's always tomorrow, to start over again 

Things will never stay the same, the only one sure thing is change.

That's why there's always tommorow

Before your last setting sun 

在你最后一次心升明日之前

And everything your heart has longed for 

每一件你内心深处向往已久的事物

Has yet to be (one) 

依然如旧

Yes there's always tomorrow though people come and they go 

没错希望永恒，虽然人来人去

But if you've brought some love to their lives  

但是如果你已经将爱注入他们的生命

Then you've got something to show 

那么你就拥有了生命的舞台
