电影《人狼恋》主题曲:When A Child Is Born

A ray of hope flickers¹ in the sky,
A tiny star lights up way up high,
All across the land
Dawns a brand-new morn,
This comes to pass
When a child is born.
A silent wish sails the seven seas,
The winds of change
Whisper in the trees,
And the walls of doubt
Crumble² tost and torn,
This comes to pass
When a child is born.
A rosy³ hue⁴ settles all around,
You got the feel
You're on solid ground,
For a spell of two no one seems forlorn,
This comes to pass
When a child is born
(And all of this happens,
Because the world is waiting,
Waiting for on child,
Black, white, yellow,
No one knows,
But a child that'll grow up,
And turn tears to laughter,
Hate to love, war to peace,
And everyone
To everyone's neighbor,
And misery⁵ and suffering
Will be words to be forgotten
Forever)
It's all a dream, an illusion now,
It must come true
Sometime soon somehow.
All across the land
Dawns a brand-new morn,
This comes to pass
When a child is born.
All across the land
Dawns a brand-new morn,
This comes to pass
When a child is born.

当孩子诞生时
一道希望之光，在空中闪耀
一颗微星照亮了天上的路
横跨整个大地，开展了一个崭新的黎明
这都是因为一个小孩的诞生
无声的愿望航过七海
转向的风在树梢呢喃
猜忌之墙崩塌倾圮
这全是因为一个小孩的诞生
到处都充满了红光
你感觉到了，你站在坚硬的土地上
在这段期间，似乎没有人孤单
这全是因为一个小孩的诞生
这些事情所以发生，是因为全世界都在等待
等待一个孩子，是黑是白还是黄？没有人知道
但小孩会长大，将泪水化为欢笑
将仇恨化成爱，战争化为和平
使四海成一家悲痛与苦难将被遗忘，永远被遗忘
那是一个梦想，一个幻象
但未来很快就会实现
横跨整个大地，开展了一个崭新的黎明
这全是因为一个小孩的诞生
