To Believe 篤信         by: Jackie Evancho           譯: d’amor

 

Before I lay me down to rest                          在我躺下休息之前

I ask the Lord one small request                  我祈禱上帝一個小小的請求

I know I have all I could need                        我知道我擁有一切我需要的

But this prayer is not for me                           但這個祈禱並不是為了我

Too many people on this day                       這些日子太多的人

Don't have a peaceful place to stay             沒有可以棲身的安寧之處

Let all fighting cease that your                      您讓所有的爭戰停息吧!

children may see peace                                讓您的孩子們可以看到和平

Wipe their tears of sorrow away                   您掃除他們憂傷的淚水

 

To believe in a day                                          相信終有一天

When hunger and war will pass away         肌渴與戰爭將會消失

To have the hope amidst despair                在絕望中得到希望

That every sparrow's counted                       既使小如麻雀(*1)依然如數

That you hear each cry                                  您聽到每一個吶喊

and listen to each prayer                               也傾聽每一個祈禱

 

Let me try always to believe                           讓我永遠用心去相信

That we can hear the hearts that grieve     我們能夠聽到悲憐的心

Please help us not ignore                              請幫助我們不致忽視

The anguished cries of the poor                  窮人痛苦的哭泣

Or their pain will never leave                         否則他們的傷痛將無法遠離

 

(chorus)                                                             (合唱)

To believe in a day                                         相信終有一天

When hunger and war will pass away        肌渴與戰爭將會消失

To have the hope amidst despair               在絕望中得到希望

That every sparrow's counted                      既使小如麻雀依然如數

That you hear each cry                                 您聽到每一個吶喊

and listen to each prayer                              也傾聽每一個祈禱

 

(spoken prayer)                                              (口白祈禱)

Father, as you see, I'm just a child             天父啊您知道我只是一個小孩

And there's so much to understand           能夠知道的事不多

But if Your Grace should surround me      如果您的榮耀圍繞著我

Then I'll do the best I can                             我會盡一切所能

I promise, I'll do the very best I can             我承諾..我會盡一切所能

 

(chorus plus)                                                   (合唱)

To believe in a day                                        相信終有一天

When hunger and war will pass away       肌渴與戰爭將會消失

To have the hope amidst despair              在絕望中得到希望

That every sparrow's counted                     既使小如麻雀依然如數

That you hear each cry                                 您聽到每一個吶喊

and listen to each prayer                              也傾聽每一個祈禱

 

(Hear each cry and listen to each prayer)

Help us do Your will oh Father                    天父啊您助我們實行您的願望

In the name of all that's true                         用所有真實的名

And we'll see in one another                        我們因而能夠相互體認

The loving image of You                              您的愛的化身

麻雀會因為失去天父的憐愛而掉落地上。)
