(話說翻譯好累......)
There was a time when men were kind 曾有一度,人是善良的
When their voices were soft 那時他們的聲音是如此溫柔
And their words inviting 字語如此動人
There was a time when love was blind 曾有一度,愛是盲目的
And the world was a song 而世界就像一首歌
And the song was exciting 一首激勵人心的歌
There was a time 曾有一度……
Then it all went wrong 然後這一切都變了調
I dreamed a dream in time gone by 我在夢境中夢見了過往的時光
When hope was high 當時充滿了希望
And life worth living 生命充滿了價值
I dreamed that love would never die 我夢見愛永不止息
I dreamed that God would be forgiving 而神乃是慈悲寬容的
Then I was young and unafraid 當時我年輕,毫無畏懼
And dreams were made and used and wasted 夢 被打造然後被消磨
There was no ransom to be paid 從沒沒有需要背的贖金
No song unsung, no wine untasted 無歌不吟 無酒不嚐
But the tigers come at night 然而危機在夜時現身
With their voices soft as thunder… 他們的聲音如雷聲低鳴
As they tear your hope apart 他們撕裂你的希望
And they turn your dream to shame.. 然後使你的夢想化為羞恥
He slept a summer by my side 他伴我一夏
He filled my days with endless wonder 讓我的每天充滿無盡的驚奇
He took my childhood in his stride 他豐富了我年輕的時光
But he was gone when autumn came 卻在秋天降臨時離去
And still I dream he'll come to me 然而我仍夢想他會回到我身邊
That we will live the years together 那麼我們可以一起度過永遠
But there are dreams that cannot be 但有些夢是無法實現的
And there are storms we cannot weather 有些暴風雨是我們無法預料的
I had a dream my life would be 我曾對我的生命抱有夢想
So different from this hell I'm living 完全不同於現在地獄般的生活
So different now from what it seemed 完全不同於我所想像的
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed. 如今的現實生活以扼殺了我的夢想
