I Dreamed a Dream

There was a time when men were kind
曾經，人們很和善
When their voices were soft
他們聲音溫柔
And their words inviting
言語誘人
There was a time when love was blind
曾經，愛情是盲目的
And the world was a song
世界就像一首歌
And the song was exciting
這首歌激動人心
There was a time
曾幾何時
Then it all went wrong
然而，一切時過境遷

I dreamed a dream in times gone by
我曾做過一場美夢
When hope was high
充滿希望
And life worth living
生活美好
I dreamed that love would never die
我夢見愛情永不消逝
I dreamed that god would be forgiving
我夢見上帝寬恕一切

Then I was young and unafraid
我曾年輕又無畏
And dreams were made and used and wasted
恣意夢著揮霍著
There was no ransom to be paid
那時沒有贖金壓身
No song unsung
無歌不唱
No wine untasted
無酒不飲

But the tigers come at night
黑夜猛虎出現
With their voices soft as thunder
輕聲細語卻如雷鳴
As they tear your hope apart
他們撕碎了你的希望
And they turn your dream to shame
夢想破滅，心懷羞恥

He slept a summer by my side
夏日漫漫他睡在我身旁
He filled my days with endless wonder
讓我的日子充滿驚奇
He took my childhood in his stride
輕而易舉拿走我童真
But he was gone when autumn came
秋天來到他卻不在

And still i dream hell come to me
我仍夢想他能回到我身邊
That well live the years together
我們可以長相廝守
But there are dreams that cannot be
但這夢想無法實現
And there are storms we cannot weather
這暴風無人倖免

I had a dream my life would be
我曾夢想生活是另一番光景
So different from this hell Im living
和這人間地獄完全不一樣
So different from what it seemed
完全不是現在這樣

Now life has killed
如今生活打碎了
The dream i dreamed.
我曾有過的夢想
