歌曲歌詞

作詞 : Martin Luther King Jr.

作曲 : Martin Luther King Jr.

I say to you this morning,

今早我告訴你

that if you have never found something

倘若你從未找尋到彌足珍貴

so dear and so precious to you that you will die for it,

自己甘願誓死守衛的東西

then you aren’t fit to live

那你定活得毫無意義

You may be 38 years old as I happen to be

你或許和我一樣 年紀三十八

And one day some great opportunity stands before you

當有一天 上天賜你良機

And calls upon you to stand up for some great principle

召喚你為真理準則而堅守

Some great issue, some great cause

為遠大宏圖而砥礪

And you refuse to do it because you are afraid

你卻因恐懼 回絕了號召

You refuse to do it because you want to live longer

而這僅是因為 你想活得更長久

You’re afraid that you will lose your job

你擔心自己會為此失去工作

Or you’re afraid that you will bе criticized

擔憂自己會被指責批判

Or that you will lose your popularity

直至無人問津

Or you’re afraid that somеbody will stab you or shoot at you or bomb your house

甚至畏懼被行刺槍殺 或是被燒毀房屋

And so you refuse to take the stand

因此你拒絕為正義而戰

Well you may go on and live until you are 90

行吧 或許你能活到九十歲

But you’re just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90

就算如此 可實際上在你三十八歲那年 你已心魂已亡

And the sensation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit

苟延殘喘地呼吸著 不過是靈魂早夭而宣告終結 姍姍來遲罷了

You died when you refused to stand up for right

當你拒絕為公道而戰時 你便已如死屍

You died when you refused to stand up for truth

當你拒絕為公道而戰時 你便已如死屍

You died when you refused to stand up for justice

當你拒絕為公道而戰時 你便已如死屍
