听歌学英语:照亮我前路 Light My Way

You say time don't wait for anyone, anyhow
Live inside the moment; celebrate the now
But presently, I'm hesitantly
Wondering how it all plays out
你说，时间不等人
活在当下，享受现在
但是最近，我很迟疑
想知道这如何能做到/想知道真这样做结局又会如何

I remember every word that you spoke¹ over me
And you still remember all my dreams.
I'm still your little girl like I was in those days.
Those words of truth still light my way.
我记得你对我说的每一句话
你也还记得我所有的梦想
我还是当初的那个小女孩
你的那些话依然在为我指引前路

You say if you move too fast, you'll make mistakes.
You may want to hurry, but the turtle wins the race.
I tried to live life, on my own time,
Just to find that you were right.
你说‘如果走得太快，会犯错
想跑快点，但最后却是乌龟赢了比赛’
我试着用自己的方式生活，
却发现你的那些话都是对的

If you need an answer now it's no
You can't kill two birds with just one stone
Don't give up until it's done.
Though hard to hear, such is love
But you say honesty is the best policy,
Took a little time, but honestly now I see
You were watching over me.
有些事你想现在就得到答案，而你得到的是NO
你不能一石二鸟
不要轻易放弃
尽管你很难听到，但这就是爱
你说诚实是最好的为人之道
尽管没有立刻明白，但现在我理解了
你一直在护佑我
