祈祷中生活
(翻译:郭旭东)
故事发生在从前,
但并非那么久远的一刻……
汤米一直在码头工作,
可工会罢工,
他恶运临身,生活窘迫,生活窘迫。
吉娜整日在餐馆工作,
为了他的男人,为了养家糊口,
为了爱,为了爱而不停地劳作。
她说,我们要珍惜我们所拥有的,
因为其他都不是紧要的抉择。
不管未来的情况如何,
只要我们彼此拥有,就已是最多。
为了爱,我们要奋力一搏。
啊,我们正走向成功,
啊,在祈祷中生活。
紧紧握住我的手,我们一定会成功——我发誓,
啊,在祈祷中生活。
汤米典当了他的六弦琴,
那曾经是他心灵的寄托——
曾经多少次用它倾诉着生活的苦涩,苦涩。
吉娜梦想着逃离这一切。
当她深夜哭泣时,
汤米轻轻地向她说——
亲爱的,不要难过,
生活的苦涩并非永远是长河。
我们要珍惜我们所拥有的,
因为其他都不是紧要的抉择。
不管未来的情况如何,
只要我们彼此拥有,就已是最多。
为了爱,我们要奋力一搏。
不管情愿与否,我们都必须支撑下去,
生为拼搏,
我们所拥有的一切都隐含在奋斗的一刻……
啊,我们正走向成功,
啊,在祈祷中生活。
紧紧握住我的手,我们一定会成功——我发誓,
啊,在祈祷中生活。
紧紧握住我的手,我们一定会成功——我发誓,
啊,在祈祷中生活。
紧紧握住我的手,
握紧我,握紧我,握紧我……

Livin’ On A Prayer
(Sung By Bon Jovi)
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says, We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers, Baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Whoa, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand,Take my hand, Take my hand
