I hope you dance (lyrics)

我希望你迎風起舞

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder

我希望你永遠不會失去求知的心

You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger

縱然得到份內所需，也永存饑渴

May you never take one single breath for granted

但願你不會把任何一次呼吸都視為理所當然

God forbid love ever leave you empty handed

上帝不會讓你懷了愛依然兩手空空

 

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean

我希望當你 站在海邊，能感覺渺小

Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens

當一扇門關上，我希望能有另一扇為你開啟

Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance

答應我，你會給信仰一個奮戰的機會

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

而當你可以選擇枯坐還是跳舞的時候

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

我希望你跳舞，我希望你跳舞

 

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance

我希望你永遠不會被遠方的高山嚇倒

Never settle for the path of least resistance

永遠不會因畏難而選擇捷徑

Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'

生命也許意味著冒險，但是它們值得

Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin'

愛也許意味著錯誤，但是它們也值得

Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter

千萬不要讓別人扭曲的心靈使自己苦澀

When you come close to selling out, reconsider

當你幾近崩潰，也請重新考慮

Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance

抬頭凝視天空，而不是隨意一瞥

 

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,

而當你可以選擇枯坐或是跳舞的時候

*I hope you dance

我希望你跳舞

(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)

時光如輪，轉動不息

I hope you dance

我希望你跳舞

(Rolling us along)

（轉動著我們向前行）

I hope you dance

我希望你跳舞

(Tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)

（告訴我，誰願意回首青春的時候才疑惑）

I hope you dance

我希望你跳舞
