"I Will Survive"这首1979年蝉连6周冠军白金曲，成为当时70年代Disco必备歌曲，法国世界杯足球队开赛歌选用此曲；最重要的是，此曲也被滚石评为100首最伟大的作品之一。
而后女权团体与同性恋组织也纷纷的看上它，把它当作活动的主题曲，象征这些社会上的弱势族群争取自我权力的决心，甚至到现在很多的同志酒吧还有扮装皇后都纷纷的以这首歌当作表演曲，也由于沙漠妖姬的受欢迎，使得这首歌在首次发行十五年后又再度登上澳洲排行榜冠军宝座!
中英歌词：
At first I was afraid I was petrified
起初我很害怕，不知所措
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
一直在想：没有你在身边，我一定活不下去
But then I spent so many nights
但是后来，我花了很多个夜晚
Thinking how you did me wrong
思考你是如何辜负了我
And I grew strong

And I learn how to get along
学会了独立
And so you're back from outer space
然而，你从外头回到了这里
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
我走进来，发现了满脸愁容的你
I should have changed that stupid lock
我早该换门锁
I should have made you leave your key
我早该叫你把钥匙留下
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
如果我早知道你会回来骚扰我的话
*Go on now, go walk out the door
走吧！滚到外面去
Just turn around now
请你转身离开
(Cos) You're not welcome anymore
你已经不受欢迎
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
你就是那个用分手来伤害我的家伙
Did I crumble
难道是我搞砸了？
Did you think I'd lay down and die
你以为我会坐以待毙
Oh no, not I, I will survive
哦！不，我会活下去
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live
我会用一生好好过日子
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive

I will survive
我会活下去
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
我用尽全身的力气，不让自己崩溃
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
努力修补着我心碎的碎片
And I spent oh so many nights
我花了多少个夜晚
Just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry but now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you

And so you feel like dropping in
你说想来看我
And just expect me to be free
希望我有空见你
Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
如今，我已把全部的爱都留给那个爱我的人 |
