ChrisMedina曾是美國歌唱選秀節目的參賽者,
據傳要上的了American Idol直播現場的節目,必須有一鳴驚人的本事,或有賺人熱淚的故事,
而當過星巴克的服務員Chris Medina則屬後者。
Chris與相戀八年的女友本已訂婚,一場突如其來的車禍造成女友創傷性腦損傷,
現在智力只等如兩歲小朋友,生活不能自理,
但他並沒有取消婚約,依然不離不棄的照顧陪伴,並誓言一輩子不會離她而去。
至於參加American Idol的選拔,除了圓自己的音樂夢,同時也希望帶給復健中的未婚妻正面力量。
最後,雖然沒成為American Idol的金牌歌手,但主辦單位還是為他製作了這張專輯"What Are Words"!
(歌詞中譯已試為調整)
Anywhere you are, I am near.無論你在何方,我都相趨。
Anywhere you go, I’ll be there. 無論你去何處,我都相隨。
Anytime you whisper my name, you’ll see.無論何時輕喚我名,我都現身。
Every single promise I keep cuz what kind of guy would I be.
我是這般地踐行每句誓言,因為我就是這樣的人。
If I was to leave when you need me most?怎會在你最需要我的時候離去?
What are words if you really don’t mean them when you say them?
不是出自真心的話算什麼?
What are words if they’re only for good times, then they don’t?
如果只適用順境,怎稱得上承諾?
When it’s love, yeah, you say them out.當愛降臨,必能高聲吐出真心話。
Those words, they never go away誓言永不消逝。
They live on, even when we’re gone即使肉身朽敗,言猶長在。
And I know an angel was sent just for me.我知道,上帝派了一名天使來,
and I konw I’m meant to be where I am.我知道,命定於此。
And I’m gonna be standing right beside her tonight.今晚我將在她身邊
And I’m gonna be by your side.守候在你身旁
I would never leave when she needs me most.在她最需要的時候,不離不棄。
What are words if you really don’t mean them when you say them?
不是出自真心的話算什麼?
What are words if they’re only for good times, then they don’t?
如果只適用順境,怎稱得上承諾?
When it’s love, yeah, you say them out.當愛降臨,必能高聲吐出真心話。
Those words, they never go away誓言永不消逝。
They live on, even when we’re gone即使肉身朽敗,言猶長在。
Anywhere you are, I am near.無論你在何方,我都相趨。
Anywhere you go, I’ll be there. 無論你去何處,我都相隨。
Anytime you whisper my name, you’ll see.無論何時輕喚我名,我都現身。
Every single promise I keep cuz what kind of guy would I be.
我是這般地踐行每句誓言,因為我就是這樣的人。
If I was to leave when you need me most?怎會在你最需要我的時候離去?
I’m forever keeping my angel close. 我會永遠緊緊守護我的天使。
