小雞美媚

I  was a little boy of 9 years old 那年我是個九歲的小男孩

The whole world in my hands 手中握著整個世界

Trying to toss that ball across the yard 在庭院中嘗試著丟出球

A game of catch with my old man 那是跟父親之間的傳接球遊戲

He would always say I'm sorry 每當他必須離開的時候

Every time he had to leave 他總說:"我很抱歉"

And I was much too young to understand 而當時我還太小

When he would say to me 無法了解他為何那麼說


When you're young, you always think 當人年輕時，我們總以為

The sun is going to shine 日子總是美好 (太陽總是高掛)

There will come a day when you have to say hello to Goodbye 但總會有一天我們必須經歷相遇及分離 

Sit on down son take my hand 兒子你坐下，握著我的手

Look me in the eye 看著我的眼睛

Take these words, promise me 專心地聽完這些話，並且答應我

You'll live before you die  "在死之前你曾活過"

I was barely seventeen, summer of seventy-nine  那年我差不多17歲，是79年的夏天

Already I was feeling like I was running out of time 那時我就已經感受到，時間所剩不多了

I had this girl, we fell in love 我遇見了一個女孩，我們墜入愛河

or Should I say that she had me 或著我該說，是她佔據了我的心

Then one fateful night changed our lives 而那改變我們一生的夜晚來到

And made a memory  留下了永難忘懷的記憶 

When you're young, you always think 當人年輕時，我們總以為

The sun is going to shine 日子總是美好 (太陽總是高掛)

There will come a day when you have to say hello to Goodbye 但總會有一天我們必須經歷相遇及分離 

She laid me down, she took my hand 她讓我躺下，握著我的手

Looked me in the eye 看著我的眼睛

And just before she kissed me she said 當她要親吻我之前，她說

You got to live before you die "在死之前，你一定要活過"

Live before you die "在死之前認真活過"

You learn to love, to live 你學著去愛，去生活

You fight and you forgive 你與人爭吵，但你也學會原諒

You learn what's wrong and right  你學會分辨善惡好壞

You Live before you die 你選擇在死之前，認真的活過


I made mistakes, I caught some breaks 我做過錯事，我也沉寂過

But I got no regrets 但是我並不後悔

There's some things I don't remember 有些事我不會記得

But one thing I don't forget 但有件事我不會忘記

When you're young, you always think  當人年輕時，我們總以為

The sun is going to shine 日子總是美好 (太陽總是高掛)

One day you're going to have to say hello to Goodbye 但總會有一天我們必須經歷相遇及分離 
Shout it out, let someone somewhere know you're alive 大聲叫吧! 讓世界上的某個人知道你正活著

Take these words wear them well  把這些話聽進去，並且實踐之

Live before you die *3  在死之前好好活過
