Vanessa Carlton Lyrics

"Ordinary Day"

“平凡的一天”

Just a day,
就一天

Just an ordinary day.
平凡的一天

Just trying to get by.
如常煎熬的一天

Just a boy,
就一男孩

Just an ordinary boy.
平凡的男孩

But he was looking to the sky.
他卻在仰望天空

And as he asked if I would come along
當他問我，要不要加入

I started to realize
我開始發現

That everyday he finds
每一天他都找到

Just what he's looking for,
他所想要的

Like a shooting star he shines.
他在閃耀，像一顆流星

He said take my hand,

他說，握著我的手

Live while you can

珍惜活著的時光

Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

你難道沒看見，你的夢想，正掌握在你的手心裡

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words

他說話的時候，他說平凡的話語

Although they did not feel

雖然不帶情感

For I felt what I had not felt before

因為我感覺到，一股未有過的感覺

And you'd swear those words could heal.

你清楚領會到，那是療治的話語

And as I looked up into those eyes

當我仰望他的眼睛

His vision borrows mine.

他的視線暫借了給我

And I know he's no stranger,

我就知道，他不是陌生人

For I feel I've held him for all of time.

因為我感覺到，他與我本為一

And he said take my hand,

他說，握著我的手

Live while you can

珍惜活著的時光

Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

你難道沒看見，你的夢想，正掌握在你的手心裡

In the palm of your hand.

在你的手心裡

Please come with me,

請跟我來

See what I see.

看我所看見的

Touch the stars for time will not flee.

觸摸繁星，因為時間不會流逝

Time will not flee.

時間不會流逝

Can you see?

你明白了嗎？

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream.

就一夢，平凡的一夢

As I wake in bed

我在床上醒來

And the boy, that ordinary boy

那個男孩，平凡的男孩

Or was it all in my head?

難道只是我的想像嗎？

Did he asked if I would come along

他是否曾問我，要不要加入

It all seemed so real.

一切如此真實

But as I looked to the door,

但當我望向房門

I saw that boy standing there with a deal.

我看見那男孩，預備好站在那裡

And he said take my hand,

他說，握著我的手

Live while you can,

珍惜活著的時光

Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand

你難道沒看見，你的夢想，正掌握在你的手心裡

In the palm of your hand,

在你的手心裡

In the palm of your hand.

在你的手心裡

Just a day, just an ordinary day

就一天，平凡的一天

Just trying to get by.

如常煎熬的一天

Just a boy,

就一男孩

Just an ordinary boy.
