Song 48, "I Dreamed a Dream" by Elaine Paige

There was a time when men were kind 曾幾何時男人是那麼的體貼
When their voices were soft 他們的聲音是那麼的溫柔
And their words inviting 他們的言語是那麼的誘人
There was a time when love was blind 曾幾何時愛情是盲目的
And the world was a song 而整個世界就似一首歌
And the song was exciting 這首歌是令人興奮地
There was a time 曾幾何時
Then it all went wrong 然而一切皆變了

I dreamed a dream in time gone by 我夢見過往的一個夢
When hope was high 那時希望滿懷
And life worth living 生命有價值
I dreamed that love would never die 我夢到愛永不凋零
I dreamed that God would be forgiving 我夢到天主是寬容的
Then I was young and unafraid 那時我年輕無懼
And dreams were made and used and wasted 夢想恣意浪擲
There was no ransom to be paid 無須付出任何代價
No song unsung, no wine untasted 無歌不唱，無酒不嚐

But the tigers come at night 然老虎卻在夜裡到來
With their voices soft as thunder 帶著他們低沈如雷的聲音
As they tear your hope apart 他們把你的希望撕裂
And they turn your dream to shame 他們讓你的夢想變成慚愧

He slept a summer by my side 整整一個夏季他睡在我身旁
He filled my days with endless wonder 用無盡的驚喜充實了我的日子
He took my childhood in his stride 他泰然處之我的年輕歲月
But he was gone when autumn came 但他一去不復返當秋天降臨

And still I dream he'll come to me 而我仍夢想著他會回到我身邊
That we will live the years together 那我們就可共度餘生
But there are dreams that cannot be 但總是有那無法實現的夢想
And there are storms we cannot weather 總是有我們無法捱過的暴風雨

I had a dream my life would be 我曾有過我夢想般的生活
So different from this hell I'm living 完全不似我現在過的悲慘生活
So different now from what it seemed 現在它完全不似夢想中的生活
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed. 如今生活已扼殺我昔日的夢想
