各位朋友們平安, 今天的週末問安的主題是: 為生命舉杯
2012 年十月歌壇巨星 Barbra Streisand 回到紐約的 Brooklyn 去辦演唱會, Streisand 是在 Brooklyn 出生, 長大, 上學的, 所以聽眾裏面有很多是她的隣居, 同學, 還有在她成長的時候, 認得她的雖然不是很熟的人, 整個晚上大家非常傷感, 這一首 Here is to Life 為生命舉杯, 是 Barbra Streisand 特別為 Brooklyn 的群眾所唱的, 大家熱淚盈眶, 拼命擦眼淚...
Tonight I spent a lot of time talking about matters of heart, um I’ve grown older as we all grow older… hopefully wiser, we move into a different stage of life…But important thing, I think..is to keep moving, you know…physically, mentally, spiritually, and we have to toast every minute and make it count, appreciate the now, you know…the fullness, the aliveness, of…of each moment, and at this moment, my heart is filled with gratitude…to all of you for being here…We’ve come a long way together, right? And Gratitude for that song of mine, and for life itself…. 今天晚上我花了很多時間說心裏的事, 我年紀大了就像你們年紀大了, 希望我們智慧也成長些, 我們進入生命的不同階段, 重要的是我們必須動, 不停地動, 身體要動, 精神要活潑, 心靈要更明亮, 每一分鐘我們都要舉杯祝賀, 每一個時刻.. 珍惜現在, 你知道, 完整的日子, 活躍的心境, 每一個時刻, 而現在這個時刻, 我的心充滿了感恩, 感恩你們都在這裏, 我們一起走過來了, 不是嗎? 感恩我擁有的那些歌, 為生命感恩...
No complaints and no regrets 不怨不悔
I still believe in chasing dreams and placing bets 我仍然追夢, 仍然賭注,
And I have learned that all you give is all you get 因為我知道要得必先要給,
So give it all you've got 所以要全力以赴,
I had my share, I drank my fill 我有得著, 我有得喝,
And even though I'm satisfied, I'm hungry still 雖然我已滿足, 但我仍飢渴,
To see what's down another road, beyond a hill 我想知道這路走下去, 山後的景緻,
And do it all again 機會又來了,
So here's to life 所以為生命舉杯,
And all the joy it brings 每一個歡娛的時刻,
Here's to life 為生命舉杯,
To dreamers and their dreams 敬追夢的人, 和他們的夢,
Funny how the time just flies 可笑, 時間飛逝,
How love can go from warm hellos to sad goodbyes 溫暖的哈囉剎那間成了哀愁的再見
And leave you with the memories you've memorized 只留下無法抹去的回憶,
To keep your winters warm 陪你暖身過冬,
But there's no yes in yesterday 昨天並不都是美好,
And who knows what tomorrow brings, or takes away 誰知道明天如何, 帶來些什麼, 拿去些什麼,
As long as I'm still in the game, I want to play 只要我尚未出局, 我要繼續這場遊戲,
For laughs, for life, for love 為的是人生的愉悅, 為生命, 為愛,
So here's to life 所以為生命舉杯,
And all the joy it brings 每一個歡娛的時刻,
Here's to life 為生命舉杯,
To dreamers and their dreams 敬追夢的人, 和他們的夢,
May all your storms be weathered, 願你生命中的風暴能夠止息,
And all that's good get better 願你好事連連,
Here's to life 為生命舉杯,
Here's to love 為愛舉杯,
And here's to you 為你舉杯.
May all your storms be weathered, 願你生命中的風暴能夠止息,
And all that's good get better 願你好事連連,
Here's to life 為生命舉杯,
Here's to love 為愛舉杯,
And here's to you 為你舉杯.
