奥斯卡歌曲:When a child is born

When a child is born

演唱：Johnny Mathis约翰尼．马蒂斯

A ray of hope flickers¹ in the sky A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn", This comes to pass when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas The winds of change whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble² tossed³ and torn, This comes to pass when a child is born.

A rosy⁴ dawn settles all around You got to feel you"re on solid ground

For a spell or two no one seems forlorn This come to pass when a child is born.

(Spoken) and all of this happens bacause the world is waiting.waiting for one child

black,white,yellow,no one knows, but a child that will grow up and turn tears

to laughter,hate to love,war to peace, everyone and everyone"s name, and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever.

It"s all a dream, an illusion⁵ now. It must come true some time soon somehow

All across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born.

中文歌词:

当孩子诞生时
一道希望之光，在空中闪耀
一颗微星照亮了天上的路
横跨整个大地，开展了一个崭新的黎明
这都是因为一个小孩的诞生
无声的愿望航过七海
转向的风在树梢呢喃
猜忌之墙崩塌倾圮
这全是因为一个小孩的诞生
到处都充满了红光
你感觉到了，你站在坚硬的土地上
在这段期间，似乎没有人孤单
这全是因为一个小孩的诞生
这些事情所以发生，是因为全世界都在等待
等待一个孩子，是黑是白还是黄？没有人知道
但小孩会长大，将泪水化为欢笑
将仇恨化成爱，战争化为和平
使四海成一家悲痛与苦难将被遗忘，永远被遗忘
那是一个梦想，一个幻象
但未来很快就会实现
横跨整个大地，开展了一个崭新的黎明
这全是因为一个小孩的诞生
