其实说起这首You Raise Me Up来可是大有来头的,其旋律是一首很有些年头的爱尔兰/苏格兰民谣,最早出现在全球乐迷的耳中是在2002年SECRET GARDEN的第4张专辑[Once In A Red Moon]中.该张专辑共有3首曲子填了歌词,其中"You Raise Me Up"邀请到了爱尔兰著名的畅销作家Brendan Graham填词和风笛大师Liam O'Flynn合奏的,(另外两首填词分别是"Gates of Dawn"和"Greenwaves")当时在挪威和英国的各大电台播放后立刻掀起了一阵热烈回响,曾获第30几届(具体忘了)GMA MUSIC(好象是叫做和平鸽音乐奖)的年度最佳歌曲提名.
歌词如下:
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
