美國豔麗歌姬〔凡妮莎威廉絲〕──迪斯尼卡通〔風中奇緣〕主題曲──抒情佳作──〔Colors Of The Wind〕

〔Colors of the Wind〕

Think you own whatever land you land on
Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

Think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You learn things you never knew
You never knew

1-Have you ever heard the wolf cry
to the blue corn moon?
or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices
of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pinetrails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what theyre worth

The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers
And the heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
(rpt 1
...or let the eagle tell you where hes been)

How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then youll never know

And youll never hear the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains
To paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still all youll own is earth
Until you can paint with all the colors of the wind
