EL CONDOR PASA 老鷹之歌

El condor pasa Andy Williams

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would. If I could, I surely would
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would

Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied up to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
It's saddest sound

I'd rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, If I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, If I only could, I surely would

老鷹之歌 安迪威廉斯

我寧可是隻麻雀，也不願做一隻蝸牛
沒錯，如果可以，我會這樣選擇
我寧可是支鐵鎚，也不願是一根鐵釘
沒錯，如果真的可以，我會這樣選擇

我願航行到遠方
像來了又去的天鵝
一個人如果被束縛在地上
他會向世界發出最悲傷的聲音
最悲傷的聲音

我寧可是座森林，也不願是一條街道
沒錯，如果可以，我會這樣選擇
我寧可感受大地就在你的腳下
沒錯，如果真的可以，我會這樣選擇

Que sera, sera (whatever will be, will be) Doris Day

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother: "What will I be?
Will I be pretty?
Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:

*"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"

When I was just a child in school
I asked my teacher, "What will I try?
Should I paint pictures"
Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply: (*)

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows
Day after day?"
Here's what my sweetheart said: (*)

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, "What will I be?"
Will I be handsome?
Will I be rich?"
I tell them tenderly: (*)

世事難預料

當我還是個小女孩
我問媽媽：我以後會做什麼呢？
我會很漂亮嗎？
我會很有錢嗎？
媽媽回答我說：

世事多變化
世事難預料
未來不是我們能夠預見的
世事多變化
世事難預料

當我上了小學以後
我問老師：我將學會什麼？
我會學畫畫嗎？
我會學唱歌嗎？
她機智的回答我說：

當我長大，談了戀愛
我問我的甜心：未來的路會怎樣呢？
我倆是否能擁有七色彩虹？
歲歲年年？
我的甜心回答我說：

如今我兒女成群
他們問我：我以後會做什麼呢？
我會長得很帥嗎？
我會很有錢嗎？
我溫柔的告訴他們

(written by Jay Livingston & Ray Evans)
這首旋律簡單、琅琅上口的老歌，是影壇享負盛名的緊張大師希區考克（Alfred Hitchcock）的作品「擒兇記」（The man who knew too much）的主題曲，而這部一九五六年的電影又是他重拍自己一九三四年的舊作而成，不過演員請來當時的大明星桃樂絲黛和詹姆斯史都華擔綱演出。桃樂絲黛一直是美國人喜愛的影歌雙棲藝人，理所當然主唱了這部電影的主題曲，歌名Que sera, sera並非英文，而是西班牙文。

River of no return大江東去

(瑪麗蓮夢露在1945年主演的電影，感嘆年華和愛情的流逝,如流水永不回頭.)

There is a river 有一條河
Called the River of no return 名叫永不回頭
Sometimes it's peaceful 它有時安安靜靜
And sometimes wild and free 有時狂野無約速

Love is a traveler 愛情是流浪的旅人
On the River of no return 在永不回頭的河上
Swept on forever 始終漂泊不定

To be lost in the stormy sea 迷失在狂風暴雨的汪洋中
Wail-a-ree 呼嘯厲聲
I can hear the river call (no return, no return) 我聽見河的呼喚（不回頭，不回頭）
Where the roaring waters fall 在那滾滾水流奔墜入海的地方
Wail-a-ree 呼嘯厲聲
I can hear my lover call come to me 我聽見愛人的呼喚：回到我身邊
(no return, no return) （不回頭，不回頭）

I lost my love on the river 我的愛遺留在河裡
And forever my heart will yearn 我的心一輩子將渴望
Gone gone forever 走了走了，永遠走了
Down the River of no return 隨著河流永不回頭
Wail-a-ree wail-a-re-e-ee 呼嘯厲聲
He(She)'ll never return to me 他（她）永遠不會回到我身邊
( no return, no return, no return ) （不回頭，不回頭，不回頭
