生命（活）的節奏Rythm of Life

前天在女兒的學校頒獎儀式上，合唱隊演唱了這首歌，小孩子們唱得非常輕快，活潑，音樂老師指揮的動作也很幽默，我一開始就被首歌輕輕地抓住了。。。

這是在youtube上找到的video，同名歌曲，同樣的 旋律， 但有兩種不同版本的歌詞。

我不知該翻成生命的節奏， 還是生活的節奏？我是很喜歡這首歌，如果有更多的人喜歡那更好。

祝大家快樂每一天！

Cy Coleman - Rhythm of Life, arr. Richard Barnes

Rhythm of Life

As I started down the street last Sunday
Feeling mighty low and kinda blue
Suddenly a voice said "go forth neighbor
Spread the picture on a wider view"

And the voice said "neighbor there's a million reasons
Why we should be glad in all four seasons
Hit the road, neighbor leave your worries and strife
Spread the religion of the rhythm of life"

For the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm in the street
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.

Go and spread the gospel in Milwakee
Take a walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge
All the way to Canton and to Scranton
Even tell it under the Manhattan Bridge

You will make a new sensation
Have a growing congregation
Build a growing operation
Here, Below!

Like a pied piper blowing
Lead and keep the music flowing
Keep the rhythm go, go, going
Go, go, go!

To feel the rhythm of life
To feel the powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your fingers
To feel the tingle in your feet!

Like a bird up in the sky
Like a bird up in the sky
Like a bird up in the sky
Fly, fly, try to fly

You can to it if you try
You can to it if you try
You can to it if you try
Try, try, try to fly!

Dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe
dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe
dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe
dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe dobe do!

Oh the rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet
Rhythm on the inside, rhythm in the street
And the rhythm of life is a powerful beat.

To feel the rhythm of life
To feel the powerful beat
To feel the tingle in your fingers
To feel the tingle in your feet!

Daddy started out in San Francisco,
Tootin' on his trumpet loud and mean,
Suddenly a voice said, "Go forth Daddy,
Spread the picture on a wider screen."
And the voice said, "Brother, there's a million pigeons
Ready to be hooked on new religions.
Hit the road, Daddy, leave your common-law wife.
Spread the religion of The Rhythm Of Life."
And The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,
Rhythm in your bedroom,
Rhythm in the street,
Yes, The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
To feel The Rhythm Of Life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet,
Daddy, spread the gospel in Milwaukee,
Took his walkie talkie to Rocky Ridge,
Blew his way to Canton, then to Scranton,
Till he landed under the Manhattan Bridge.
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,
Built up quite an operation down below.
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing,
All the cats were go, go, go-ing down below.
Daddy was the new sensation, got himself a congregation,
Built up quite an operation down below.
With the pie-eyed piper blowing, while the muscatel was flowing,
All the cats were go, go, go-ing down below.
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Fly, fly, fly to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Swim, swim, swim to Daddy
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Crawl, crawl, crawl to Daddy,
And The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
Puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet,
Rhythm in your bedroom,
Rhythm in the street,
Yes, The Rhythm Of Life is a powerful beat,
To feel The Rhythm Of Life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet,
To feel The Rhythm Of Life,
To feel the powerful beat,
To feel the tingle in your fingers,
To feel the tingle in your feet,
Flip your wings and fly to Daddy,
Take a dive and swim to Daddy,
Hit the floor and crawl to Daddy,
Daddy we got The Rhythm Of Life,
Of life, of life, of life.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Man!
