“Bad Day” By Daniel Powter
Lyrics
Where is the moment when
needed the most
當你最需要好運的時候 它在哪裡?
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
你無奈地踢起了地上的落葉 所有的魔力都消失了
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
他們告訴我 你蔚藍的天空漸漸變灰
They tell me your passion's gone away
他們告訴我 你熱情的抱負漸漸冷淡
And I don't need no carryin' on
Hey 朋友! 我不想看到你就這樣半途而廢
You stand in the line just ahead of the law
你站在危險沮喪的邊緣
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
你帶著偽裝的笑容 拿著咖啡 從我面前走過
You tell me your life's been way off line
你告訴我 你的人生彷彿像電腦斷線般 沒有了動力
You're falling to pieces everytime
每一次 你都跌的粉身碎骨
And I don't need no carryin' on
Hey 朋友! 我不希望你就這樣放棄
Cause you had a bad day
你只是一時地不順遂
You're taking one down
你只是剛好意志消沉
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
你只是唱了一首悲傷的歌轉個身 一切就雨過天晴
You say you don't know
你說 你很茫然
You tell me don't lie
你告訴我 別再偽裝了
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
Hey 朋友! 那就帶著微笑 兜兜風去吧
You had a bad day
你只是一時的低潮
The camera don't lie
照相機拍出你的沮喪
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
但這只是短暫的一切不順心 都將消失不見你根本也不會去再乎它
You had a bad day
因為這只是一時的不順遂
You had a bad day
一切都會雨過天晴
Well you need a blue sky holiday
朋友 你只需要一個充滿藍天的假期
The point is they laugh at what you say
不用去管身邊的人說什麼 不用去管身邊的人如何嘲笑
And I don't need no carryin' on
Hey 朋友! 我希望看見你努力堅持下去
(Oh.. Holiday..)
(一個美好的假期)
Sometimes the system goes on the brink
人生難免會遇到許多瓶頸
And the whole thing turns out wrong
你總會遇到一些的是是非非
You might not make it back and you know

但你可以堅強的去扭轉頹勢
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most

“I'm
Yours” By Jason Mraz
Lyrics
Well youve dawned on me and you bet I felt it
是的，我想你真的已經搞定我了
I tried to be chill but youre so hot that I melted
我想要冷靜，但卻被火熱的你融化
I fell right through the cracks, and now Im trying to get back
我就像掉進深淵，現在我試著回神
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
在我的酷勁用完之前會拚盡全力
And nothings gonna stop me so dont go with convention
除非天意否則我絕不停止
I reckon its again my turn, to win some or learn some
我猜我的機會又到了，不是成功就是學到教訓
But I wont hesitate no more, no more
但我絕不，絕不再猶豫
It cannot wait, Im yours
不再等待，我是屬於你的
Well open up your minds and see like me
敞開心扉，像我一樣來看這個世界
Open up your plans and damn youre free
別盯著你的計劃，你就會自由
Look into your heart and youll find love, love, love, love
直視你的心扉，你會發現那裏充滿了愛
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
聽這音樂，大家又跳又唱
We are just one big family
我們就像一個大家庭
And its everybodys right to be loved, love, love, love, loved
這就是被你遺棄的被愛的權利
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
所以我絕不，絕不再猶豫
It cannot wait I'm sure

Ive been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
我已花了太多的時間對著鏡子檢查自己的酷樣
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
來回轉身只為能檢查得更仔細些
But my breath fogged up the glass
我的氣息都霧化了鏡面
So I drew new face and laughed
於是我微笑著在上面畫了張鬼臉
I guess what I've been saying is there aint no better reason
我想我要說的就是沒有其他更好的理由
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
拋開無聊瑣事，一切順其自然
