经典励志英文歌曲:《We Are Young》
from Fun.
by Shannon Yvox
Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom
Getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me
Just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses
Asking 'bout a scar
And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Now I know that I'm not
All that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's the set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight
给我点时间
让我理清思绪
死党醉倒在洗手间
已经悄然入天
爱人在酒吧那头等候
墨镜女占了我的位置
谈起你我的情伤
我知道我另你陷入情网
我知道你难忘伤痛
然而在酒醉金迷间
我的道歉如此蹩脚
我想努力挽回你
当酒吧打烊
你的脚步蹒跚
我会带你回家
今夜
花样年华的我们
将世界点燃
另骄阳失色
今夜
花样年华的我们
将世界点燃
另骄阳失色
今夜带我回家
请今夜带我回家
天使并未降临
但我听到天籁之声
有人将我带回了家
今夜
花样年华的我们
将世界点燃
另骄阳失色
今夜
花样年华的我们
将世界点燃
另骄阳失色
当酒吧打烊
你的脚步蹒跚
我今夜会带你回家
We Are Young是美国独立流行乐团Fun.于2011年9月发行的'一支单曲，单曲收录在乐队第二张录音室专辑《Some Nights》中。此曲曾被Glee翻唱，翻唱版本首发时登上了Billboard第12位，并在itunes单曲下载榜上排行第一。原版在Billboard Hot 100榜冠军位置停留六周，在2012 Billboard Hot 100 Year-End中排列第三，并获第55届(2013)格莱美年度歌曲奖(Song Of The Year)，并获得年度制作，最佳流行乐队/组合提名。
简单的说，《We Are Young》就是一首充满正能量和积极意义的励志歌曲。也难怪它常常被许多美剧拿来做配乐歌曲，它高昂的情调和戏剧化的张力，也让这首歌曲既有丰富的听觉震撼力，也有许多独立乐团最为缺乏的精气神。听这首歌曲，就像当年听Queen的《We Will Rock You》或者《We Are the Champions》。
《We Are Young》这首单曲由乐队主唱Nate Ruess和他们《Some Nights》的制作人Jeff Bhasker共同创作完成。而这首作品的女声演绎，则来自于另一位出生于堪萨斯的黑人女歌手Janelle Monae。
歌曲的创作可以追溯到2011年2月。某日，Nate Ruess和Jeff Bhasker相约于纽约东城Bowery酒店的酒吧，商谈音乐事宜。而为了这次会面，Nate Ruess已经是第三次相约，前两次则都被Jeff Bhasker放了鸽子。而这一次，Jeff Bhasker在和Beyonce完成工作后，终于匆匆赶来和Nate Ruess相见，但只提供了十分钟的会谈时间。不过，Nate Ruess关于将流行和嘻哈融合的创作想法，却很快引起了他的注意。之后，Nate Ruess将Jeff Bhasker请到了自己的客房，向他亲自演示了这种想法的成果，即流行、嘻哈和电子融合的效果，而主旋律部分，甚至还有一些Beyonce作品的线条。第二天，Jeff Bhasker就把Nate Ruess请到了他纽约的工作室。并最终完成了这首歌曲的母带。
