I dreamed a dream

~我做了一個夢~

There was a time when men were kind

曾有一度人們是良善的

When their voices were soft

那時他們的聲調溫柔

And their words inviting

字語動人

There was a time when love was blind

曾有一度愛情是盲目的

And the world was a song and the song was exciting

世界就像一支動人的旋律

There was a time

那是過往的時光了啊

Then it all went wrong

後來一切都變了

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

我夢見在夢境中過往的時光

When hope was high

抱持著崇高的盼望

And life worth living

生活充滿了生命力

I dreamed that love would never die

我夢見愛永不止息

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

我夢見了上帝的寬容

Then I was young and unafraid

那時我年輕無懼

And dreams were made and used and wasted

夢想被打造也被消磨

There was no ransom to be paid

無原由的揮豁殆盡

No song unsung, no wine untasted

未唱的歌,未嘗的美酒啊

But the tigers come at night

而老虎(此只危機)總是在夜晚出沒

With their voices soft as thunder

它們的低吼猶如暗雷低回

As they tear your hope apart

好像在哀悼你的希望被摧毀

And they turn your dream to shame

並扭曲使你的夢想蒙羞

He slept a summer by my side

他整個夏天在我身旁安睡

He filled my days with endless wonder

他使我的每日充滿無比驚奇

He took my childhood in his stride

他關照我的童年進展

But he was gone when autumn came

但當秋天來時他卻離開了我

And still I dream he'll come to me

直至如今，我仍夢想著他將要回到我身旁

That we will live the years together

夢想著我們可以一起度過美好時光

But there are dreams that cannot be

但這些夢想不會成真了

And there are storms we cannot weather

我們也經不起這些狂風暴雨

I had a dream my life would be

我的夢想曾經即將實現

So different from this hell I'm living

與我悲慘境遇大異其趣

So different now from what it seemed

相形現在是這麼的不同

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

現在的生活扼殺了我做的夢

我曾懷揣的夢想已遠去

那時候我信心萬丈

生命噴薄出應有的價值

（I dreamed a dream in times gone by/When hope was high/And life worth living）

我夢想愛將永遠不死

我夢想上帝必永恆寬仁

那時我年輕無懼

夢想被隨意丟棄

（I dreamed that love would never die/I dreamed that God would be forgiving/Then I was young and unafraid/And dreams were made and used and wasted）

那不需要償還什麼的日子里

笙歌夜夜

不醉不休

但今夜老虎突然出現

伴隨著如雷一樣低沉的鳴嘶

（There was no ransom to be paid/No song unsung, No wine untasted/But the tigers come at night/With their voices soft as thunder）

當它們撕碎你的希冀

當它們將你的夢變成羞恥

但我仍然期望他走近我

那樣我們就能夠長相廝守在一起

（As they tear your hope apart/As they turn your dream to shame/And still I dream he’ll come to me/That we will live the years together）

但是夢想難期

暴風雨我們無法躲避

（But there are dreams that cannot be/And there are storms we cannot weather）

我夢想著我的生活將會

如此地與苦難的現實遙遙相距

如此地與所有的一切背向而馳

可生命已經被殺死

夢想只能成為夢寐

（I had a dream my life would be/So much different from this hell I'm living/So different now from what it seemed/Now life has killed /The dream I dreamed.）
