《I Won't Give Up》 决不放弃
When I look into your eyes 当我凝视着你的双眸
It's like watching the night sky 仿佛看到深邃夜空
Or a beautiful sunrise 亦或是灿烂朝阳
There so much they hold 他们蕴含着万千美好
And just like them old stars 就像漫天絙古的繁星
I see that you've come so far 我知你已跋涉千里
To be right where you are 这一刻驻足此间
How old is your soul? 那灵魂等待了多少轮回
I won't give up on us 我不会放弃彼此
Even if the skies get rough 即使天空布满阴霾
I'm giving you all my love 我将全部爱给你
I'm still looking up 依旧憧憬着我们的未来
And when you're needing your space 当你需要个人空间
To do some navigating 去遨游去探险
I'll be here patiently waiting 我会在此耐心等待
To see what you find 等待你发现的一切
'Cause even the stars they burn 因为就算星辰也会燃烧
Some even fall to the earth 有些甚至还会坠落尘世
We got a lot to learn 我们还有太多需要去领悟
God knows we're worth it 苍天为鉴，我们值得这一切
No I won't give up 不，我不会就此放弃
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily 我不想轻易离开
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make 坚守在此努力付出
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use 我们之间的差异教会我们成熟
The tools, the skills we've got yeah we got a lot at stake 在危难中，我们收获良多
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend 最终友谊依旧长青
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn至少我们共同努力，我们不曾决裂，不曾记恨
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in 我们学习适当妥协，世界不致坍塌
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not 我不得不搞清楚我拥有什么，不能掌握什么
And who I am 以及，我是谁
I won't give up on us 我不会放弃彼此
Even if the skies get rough 即使天那空布满阴霾
I'm giving you all my love 我将爱全部给你
I'm still looking up 我依旧憧憬我们的未来
Still looking up 憧憬着我们的未来
I won't give up on us 我不会放弃彼此
God knows I'm tough enough 苍天为鉴，我足够不屈
We got a lot to learn 我们还有太多需要去领悟
God knows we're worth it 苍天为鉴，我们值得这一切
I won't give up on us 我不会放弃彼此弃
Even if the skies get rough 即使天那空布满阴霾
I'm giving you all my love 我将爱全部给你
I'm still looking up 我依旧憧憬我们的未来
《I Won't Give Up》有着少见的负面情绪，这支单曲讲述的是玛耶兹和未婚妻分手后的所感所想——从中你也许能体悟到那么点关于爱要“放下”的重要性，他说“我知道，某些东西我是一直坚信并会一直保持的。这首歌其实就是我如何保持这种信念，走出阴霾的。在这段关系中，我实在不知道结果如何，但我不会放弃这段友情。”这听上去有点哀怨，不过玛耶兹的专辑永远都是如向日葵般和太阳为伴。“我选择积极向上的歌曲和歌词，那些不快乐只是让我想传达的爱更加立体。我相信那些负面情绪当然是越少越好了。”
关于爱的誓言：
1) I love you not because of who you are, but because of who i am when i am with you.
我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的那个我。
2) No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
没有人值得你流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。
3) Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知谁会爱上你的笑容。
4) To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某个人，你是他的整个世界。
I Won't Give Up——有着不舍不弃的坚定，当爱包含了太多功利和私欲，就变得复杂劳心。Jason Mraz用这张《Love Is A Four Letter Word》告诉你，爱原本是与生俱来的能力，只要你放下自己，用心感受，爱，无处不在。 |
