【节目全文可关注微信公众号Zoey八点英语】
这周跟你们分享我喜欢了好多年的宝藏歌曲,One Republic的I lived.
Ryan Tedder wrote the song for his son Copeland Cruz, who was four-years old at the time when Tedder penned the song.
歌词内容是主唱Ryan Tedder的有感而发,也是写给自己当时四岁的儿子的。
这首歌也很适合在你下不了决心做决定的时候听~
真的是每一句歌词都写得很好:
Hoping you take that jump
希望你纵身一跃
But don't fear the fall
不惧深渊
Hope when the water rises
希望当潮水涌起
You built a wall
你已经筑起了高墙
Hoping the crowd screams out
希望人群呼喊
Screaming your name
唤着你名
Hope if everybody runs
希望所有人都逃离的时候
You chose to stay
你仍选择坚守
Hope that you fall in love
希望你坠入爱河
And it hurts so bad
尽管受伤
The only way you can know
你要懂得的唯一一件事
Is give it all you have
便是倾尽所有
And I hope that you don't suffer
我希望当你感到痛苦
But take the pain
微笑面对
Hope when the moment comes
我希望大限来临的时候
You'll say
你可以说
I I did it all
我都做过了
I I did it all
我都做过了
I owned every second
我用尽了每一秒时间
That this world could give
感激世界的给予
I saw so many places
我见过了名山大川
And things that I did
做了我想做的事情
Of every broken bone
所以对我的每根断骨
I swear I lived
我发誓,我活过
Hope that you spend your days
希望你安度每日
But they all add up
终有所获
And when that sun goes down
当日落西山
Hope you raise your cup
你仍能举杯畅饮
I wish that I could witness
我希望我可以看到
All your joy
你所有的欢乐
And all your pain
还有悲伤
But until my moment comes
但是当我的大限到来
I'll say
我仍会说
I I did it all
我,爱过,恨过
I I did it all
我,痛过,伤过
I owned every second
我用尽了每一秒时间
That this world could give
感激世界的给予
I saw so many places
我见过了名山大川
And things that I did
做了我想做的事情
Of every broken bone
所以对我的每根断骨
I swear I lived
我发誓,我活过
Tedder is encouraging his son to live fearlessly, to face all the challenges, and to see "so many places," and that he can look at his life with no regrets because he would have basically “done it all.”
There also have been pains and failures – or as Tedder puts it "broken bone(s)." However, by embracing these hardships, at the end of the day he is able to “swear” that indeed he has "lived."
Tedder希望儿子能无所畏惧地去享受生活,去经历所有的痛苦和快乐,
去面对所有的挑战,到达过很多地方,
等到哪天回望自己这辈子,可以有底气说自己已经“活过了”。
而这首歌的MV也很燃,记录了一个出生就得了囊肿性纤维化 (Cystic fibrosis)疾病的青少年的成长。他也是One Republic的粉丝。
The song's music video pays tribute to One Republic’s teenage fan, Bryan Warnecke, and his struggles living with cystic fibrosis. [ˌsɪstɪk faɪˈbrəʊsɪs]
Bryan says in the music video:
Cystic fibrosis is a disease that attacks the digestive system and slowly shuts down the lungs. I've been doing my treatments every day of my life, so to me, it’s just one of those things that’s normal.
I've been living with cystic fibrosis for fifteen years...
Bryan在MV里说,囊性纤维化是一种侵袭消化系统
并且缓慢减弱肺部功能的疾病。
他的一生中每一天都在做治疗,所以对他来说,这只是非常正常的事情之一。
When I first found out the life expectancy for the first time, it really scared me. Right now, it’s just one of those things that really makes you appreciate life. It makes me appreciate where you are, as a person.
最开始知道自己有这个疾病的时候很恐惧,
但现在它只是一件让他无比感恩生活的事情。
Bryan也像正常人一样尝试了很多事情,像踩单车、冲浪,
一次次摔了再一次次爬起来。
It feels like I’m breathing through a straw. Whenever I try to breathe hard, it hurts. I want to make the most out of my life and have as much fun as I possibly can and my biggest fear is not being able to do that.
对他来说呼吸就像是通过一根吸管在呼吸,稍微用力就能感觉到疼痛。
所以他只希望自己在有限的生命里能够尽情享受生活,
最大的恐惧就是——没机会这样做了。
This year, Bryan and his teammates have ridden over 1,200 miles and raised $300,000 for Cystic Fibrosis research.
Bryan还和他的队友一起骑行了1200英里,
为囊性纤维化疾病的研究募捐到了30万美金。
在MV最后是Bryan骑行到了One Republic演唱会的画面,这也算是实现了他作为粉丝的梦想了。
希望我们也能像Bryan一样、像这首歌里唱的一样——to live fearlessly.
