圣诞来临的时候
2012-04-29童桦
I’m wishing on a star and trying to believe 我向星星许愿并且试着相信
That even though it’s far 尽管相隔千里
He’ll find me Christmas Eve 圣诞夜里他还是能找到我
I guess that Santa’s busy ’cause he’s never come around我想圣诞老人一定很忙因为他从未到访
I think of him when Christmas comes to town 在圣诞来临的时候我总会想起他
The best time of the year 那是一年中最美好的时光
When everyone comes home 所有人都欢聚一堂
With all these Christmas cheers 伴着这些圣诞欢歌
It’s hard to be alone 没有人再感到寂寞
Putting up the Christmas tree 竖起圣诞树
With friends who come around 与朋友一起
It’s so much fun when Christmas comes to town 在圣诞来临的时候欢乐满溢
Presents for the children 孩子们的礼物
Wrapped (包) in red and green 包装得花花绿绿
All the things I’ve heard about 这些我也只是听说
But never really seen 却从未真正见过
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve 圣诞前夜无人入眠
Hoping Santa’s on his way 大家都盼着圣诞老人到访
When Santa’s sleigh (雪橇) bells ring 圣诞老人的雪橇铃当响
I listen all around 那些声音萦绕耳旁
The herald (信使) angels sing 报信的天使在歌唱
I never hear a sound 我从未听过这声响
And all the dreams of children 所有孩子一度迷失的梦想
Once lost will all be found 今夜都会重现
That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town 圣诞来临的时候,这就是我的愿望
当成长让你识破所有儿时的童话,你是否还会坚信那些理想化的美好?如果一次次的期待等来的总是一次次的失望,你是否惯性地养成了悲观?童年那些五彩的希望兴许年久失色,蒙上了厚厚的灰尘,可你眼里的世界并不只有灰色——抚去尘埃,依旧是一片光明。
