今天有一位朋友家的小朋友过生日,明天也有一位小朋友过生日,帖上一首 When a child is born 以示祝贺。
这首歌前几周才有人贴过的,不过这回我贴一个小天使康妮演唱的版本(上次帖过她演唱的Over the Rainbow)。
抛开它的宗教性不谈(歌词里的child本意不是一般的小孩,而是指圣婴,这个西老师应该熟悉,有空给大家讲讲),这首歌本身的曲调很优美,歌词也很优美:“一道希望之光划破天穹,一颗小星星点亮夜空,大地万物迎来全新的曙光,一个小孩即将诞生在世上.....。”其实每一个小孩,都是父母眼中的小星星,都是给父母带来希望和曙光的宝贝。愿上面所说的两位小朋友在爱与幸福中成长,也愿天下所有的小孩都快乐和健康。

A ray of hope flickers 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 crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.
A rosy dawn settles all around
You got to feel you’re on solid ground
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born.
It’s all a dream, an illusion now.
It must come true some time soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born.
