I dreamed a dream in time gone by

曾几何时，我也有我的梦想

When hope was high

生活充满了希望

And life worth living

生命又是那么的美好

I dreamed that love would never die

我梦见爱能永恒

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

我梦见上帝仁慈, 宽恕一切

Then I was young and unafraid

那时的我啊，又年轻，又无畏

And dreams were made and used and wasted

一个个的梦想被创造，被荒废

There was no ransom¹ to be paid

不用付出代价

No song unsung, no wine untasted

无歌不唱，无酒不尝

But the tigers come at night

然而不幸在那晚不期而至

With their voices soft as thunder

声如闷雷滚滚而来

As they tear your hope apart

它活生生地撕碎了你的梦想

And they turn your dream to shame

将梦想变成了无尽的懊悔

But there are dreams that cannot be

总有些梦想永远无法成真

And there are storms we cannot weather

总有些暴风雨会将人摧毁

I had a dream my life would be

我曾有梦，梦想我的美丽人生

So different from this hell² I'm living

与现在的人间地狱截然不同

So different now from what it seemed

谁会料到命运如此无常

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

现实，击碎了我的梦
