You Raise Me Up

You Raise Me Up 這是首相當勵志與感人的歌,許多歌手也因重新翻唱演釋這首歌締造銷售佳績,烏拉拉也是每次聽到這首歌都會感動到起雞皮疙瘩。

這首歌改編英國傳統民謠Danny Boy,2002年最先發行於Secret Garden的Once in a Red Moon專輯中,由Rolf Løvland作曲,Brendan Graham作詞,Brian Kennedy擔任主唱。來自LA的Josh Groban美聲歌手也因為2003年發行這專輯成功打進美國市場,台灣也因為Josh Groban的You Raise Me Up 而讓這首歌紅遍大街小巷。

(題外話,烏拉拉第一次聽到Josh Groban倒不是因為他的音樂專輯,而是他2001年參加電視影集「艾莉的異想世界Ally McBeal」演出,獻唱<You're Still You>而印象深刻)

You Raise Me Up / Brian Kennedy & Secret Garden

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up, To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up, To more than I can be.

There is no life, no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up, To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up, To more than I can be.
