這首曲子的旋律還不錯聽,
但我主要是想把歌詞分享給大家。
曲中的歌詞幾乎就是源自倉本聰腳本裡原本的台詞,
我覺得英譯得還不錯,
製作單位還找來美國的大牌製作人David Foster編曲,
顯見WOWOW台真的大手筆在製作這部開台二十週年的紀念之作。
下面這是原創作者同時也是原唱者JP的現場演唱連結,
歡迎大家點過去聽聽看。

Learning to live
原詞︰倉本聰
作曲、英文歌詞︰JP 編曲︰David Foster
When you grow old
Then you will know
What it means to live
Lines on your face
Will map and trace
The story of where you've been
And if your children ask
about pain, reply
You will find the answer on your own
'Cause when you're all alone
The night can be so cold
But you'll understand the value of a friend
And family
And what it means to love
I believe in my heart
You will shine like a star alone
The darkness around makes you bright
And when you stand on your own
Only then will you know
What it means to live
--------------------------------
下面這段在片尾曲中沒有,
我想是原版的曲中才有的段落。
(And if you lose your way
Through the tears and pains
You understand what it is to love
And to live, holding on to hope
I believe in my heart
You will shine like a star alone
The darkness around makes you bright
And when you stand on your own
Only then will you know
What it means to live)
------------------------------------
Oh Yeah
There's nothing better than a simple life
With the people that you love
But first you gotta learn to live alone
And be strong
I believe in my heart
You will shine like a star alone
The darkness around makes you bright
And when you stand on your own
Only then will you know
What it means to live
