英语歌曲:Life is Wonderful

这首歌起调有些慵懒，但是逐渐地我就被它的歌词吸引了……歌词讲述的是生活中平凡的真理，启发人们用一种平和的心态去看待这个世界，面对生活中的一切。有部分歌词很有意思，虽然看似矛盾，但是却隐藏着辩证的思维方法和人生哲学，比如It takes some old to make you young和It takes the dust to have it polished。到后来音乐节奏渐强，让人不由得一起哼唱起来：Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful……别具意味的歌词加上安静的音乐，还有歌手那纯净的声音，完美的声线，让这首歌百听不厌。
 

Life is Wonderful
 

By Jason Mraz

It takes a crane to build a crane

It takes two floors to make a story

It takes an egg to make a hen

It takes a hen to make an egg

There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word

And it takes some words to make an action

And it takes some work to make it work

It takes some good to make it hurt

It takes some bad for satisfaction

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn

And it takes a day to make you yawn brother

It takes some old to make you young

It takes some cold to know the sun

It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love

But it takes you years to know what love is

And it takes some fears to make you trust

It takes those tears to make it rust¹

It takes the dust to have it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la it is so...

It takes some silence to make sound

And it takes a loss before you found it

And it takes a road to go nowhere

It takes a toll² to make you care

It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful

Ah la la la la la la it is so... wonderful

It is so meaningful

It is so wonderful

It is meaningful

It is wonderful

It is meaningful

It goes full circle

 

 

要有起重机才能建水鹤

要有两层地板才能有一个楼层

要先有鸡蛋才能有母鸡

要先有母鸡才能生鸡蛋

这些因果没有尽头

要先有想法才能有话语

要先有话语才能有行动

要先付出劳动才能有起效

要先尝到甜头才能感到疼痛

要先经历困苦才能感到满足

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是奇妙

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活就是一个圆周

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是奇妙

啊拉拉拉拉

要先经历黑夜才能看见黎明

要先度过白天才能让你打哈欠兄弟

要先经历风霜才能让你珍惜青春

要先经受寒冷才能体会阳光的温暖

要先献出自己才能拥有对方

爱上一个人不需要多少时间

但是要懂得爱却要许多许多年

只有感到恐惧才会信任他人

只有痛苦的泪水才能让心生锈

只有经历尘世才能心如明镜

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是奇妙

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活就是一个圆周

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是奇妙

啊拉拉拉它是如此……

要先有寂静才能制造出声响

要先有失去才能有获得

要先有路你才会停滞不前

要先听到丧钟你才会开始担心

要掘出一个洞才能堆起一座山脉

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是奇妙

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活就是一个圆周

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是奇妙

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是意味深长

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉生活真是奇妙

啊拉拉拉拉拉拉它是如此……奇妙

它是如此意味深长

它是如此奇妙

它真是意味深长

它真是奇妙

它真是意味深长

它就是一个圆周
