《Like a rock》是一首励志歌曲,由美国上世纪70年代最受欢迎,也是最有特点的硬摇滚歌手鲍伯西格(Bob Seger)演唱。
一个中年人遇到种种挫折的时候,坐在壁火旁,点上一根烟,回忆起那些已经逝去的岁月,回想起少年时自己一无所有却充满了斗志。自己如今拥有了很多东西,却再也找不到二十年前自己那种坚如磐石、勇于面对挫折的信心。内心充满了感慨,逃避是没有用的,只有坦然面对!于是鼓起勇气对自己说:Like a rock!Bob Seger
Like a rock-Bob Seager
坚如磐石——鲍伯西格
Stood there boldly(自信满满的站在街上)
Sweatin' in the sun(不管那灼人的日光)
Felt like a million(感觉自己是九天凤凰)
Felt like number one(感觉自己是世界最强)
The height of summer(那一段时光)
I'd never felt that strong(我永世难忘)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
I was eighteen(那年我十八)
Didn't have a care(生活总是无忧无虑)
Working for peanuts(为生活打拼)
Not a dime to spare(兜里总是空空如也)
I was lean and(瘦小的身材)
Solid everywhere(却有着无穷的能量)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
My hands were steady(我的双手曾如此坚定)
My eyes were clear and bright(我的双眼曾如此清澈)
My walk had purpose(我的目标曾如此明确)
My steps were quick and light(我的步伐曾如此矫健)
And i held firmly(只要认为是对的)
To what i felt was right(我就决不会妥协)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
I was strong as i could be(我曾如此坚强)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
Nothin' ever got to me(我曾如此倔强)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
I was something to see(我曾如此要强)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
And i stood arrow straight(我总是挺直了腰杆)
Unencumbered by the weight(无论有多重的负担)
Of all these hustlers and their schemes(无论有多少的艰险)
I stood proud, i stood tall(我骄傲地站着,我笔直地站着)
High above it all(感觉世界之巅就是我)
I still believed in my dreams(永远坚持自己的梦想)
Twenty years now(二十年过去了)
Where'd they go?(青春一去不复返)
Twenty years(二十年过去了)
I don't know(岁月流逝无法挽)
I sit and I wonder sometimes(有时我会想)
Where they've gone(过去的时光飘向了何方?)
And sometimes late at night(在寂静的深夜)
When I'm bathed in the firelight(我坐在壁火旁)
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white(看月光惨白)
And I recall(我不禁回想)
and I recall(我不禁思量)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
Standin' arrow straight(笔直的挺立腰杆)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
Chargin' from the gate(自信的面对困难)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
Carryin' the weight(坚强的扛起负担)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
The sun upon my skin(哪管烈日炎炎)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
Hard against the wind(哪管寒风凛凛)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
I see myself again(那时的我)
Like a rock(坚如磐石)
I will like a rock (我将坚如磐石)
如果不是人到中年,大概很难透彻理解歌词中意义。的确,越是年龄的增长才越能体会到肩负的责任与生活的压力,面对种种困境,唯有鼓起勇气,坦然面对生活中的种种困难!
