to dream impossible dream
- The Impossible Dream
- The Impossible Dream / Peter O'Toole
from MAN OF LA MANCHA (1972)
lyrics: Joe Darion
music: Mitch Leigh
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
夢想 不可能的夢想!
爭戰 無敵的對手!
忍受 無法平復的悲傷!
奔跑 向那勇士沒到過的地方!
導正 無法彌補的錯誤!
改變 讓自己遠比現在的自己更好!
嘗試 在手臂發軟無力時摘取那碰不到的願星。
無論多麼地缺乏希望,
無論多麼地遙不可及,
這是一趟專屬我的探險旅程 - 就是去追隨那顆願星。
無論多麼地缺乏希望,
無論多麼地遙不可及,
義無反顧地 只為正義而奮戰,
只為天堂神聖使命而決意進入地獄。
我知道只要我能忠於這趟光榮的探險旅程,
當我倒下安息時,我的心會得到平靜,
世界也因此變得更好。
那個被藐視充滿創傷的男人,
依然堅持他僅存的勇氣,
