《It Will Be My Day(Je M’voyais Déjà)(1958-1962 in English)》歌词

[00:00:00] It Will Be My Day - Charles Aznavour (查尔斯·阿兹纳吾尔)

[00:00:10] At eighteen I grew restless for the city

[00:00:14] I'd see its lights that beckoned from afar

[00:00:19] I packed my dreams assured I'd be successful

[00:00:24] I'd sing my songs I'd soon become a star

[00:00:28] I needed clothes to make the right impression

[00:00:33] I bought a suit the finest tailor-made

[00:00:38] Had an act then designed with the ladies in mind

[00:00:43] Endure the debt I felt would be repaid

[00:00:48] I dreamed I would be emblazoned in neon

[00:00:53] The biggest the best above all the rest

[00:00:55] Wherever I'd play

[00:00:57] I dreamed I would be acknowledged the greatest

[00:01:02] The cream of the crop it's good at the top

[00:01:04] I was there to stay

[00:01:07] The loveliest girls would gather around me

[00:01:12] With photos to sign

[00:01:13] They all would be mine for less than a smile

[00:01:15] My curtain would cue resounding ovations

[00:01:21] Their deafening roar would ring out for more

[00:01:23] I'd go off in style

[00:01:26] The older that I become

[00:01:28] My features are ageing

[00:01:31] My voice is still there my gesture's precise

[00:01:32] My talent would glow

[00:01:35] At times I've had bitterness for nothing has happened

[00:01:40] I've struggled and strived but never arrived

[00:01:43] And I'm still unknown

[00:01:45] And yet yet I believe that my time is coming

[00:01:50] If given the breaks I've got what it takes to go all the way

[00:01:54] Then under my feet the stage would be pulsing

[00:01:59] Finally I'd be there in the spotlights glare

[00:02:02] It would be my day

[00:02:07] For thirty years it's been an endless circle

[00:02:11] I've made the rounds they always look the same

[00:02:16] I sing my songs but people seldom listen

[00:02:20] They never care for they don't know my name

[00:02:25] To keep alive I've played the third-rate bookings

[00:02:30] I have no choice I take what I can find

[00:02:35] Sleazy clubs little pay easy girls sleep all day

[00:02:40] But in my dreams I leave it far behind

[00:02:45] I dreamed that I'll be relating the story

[00:02:50] Of how I prevailed when I should have failed

[00:02:53] In my quest for fame

[00:02:54] I dreamed I would be enjoying my leisure

[00:02:59] Taking life in stride ladies at my side

[00:03:02] Wild from the game

[00:03:04] On opening night I'll calmly be reading

[00:03:08] The thousands of words from those who admire my standing alone

[00:03:14] The stage light would dim the moment would quicken

[00:03:18] My heart in my throat

[00:03:20] Hearing the first note

[00:03:21] I'd be on my own

[00:03:23] I tried to find a gimmick to lift me from darkness

[00:03:28] I've sung about love I've songs

[00:03:30] A stale joke or two

[00:03:33] If everything fails and I'm left in the shadows

[00:03:38] The fault isn't mine I asked for a chance

[00:03:40] But nothing came through

[00:03:42] I have no one to thank

[00:03:45] For no one has offered

[00:03:47] To give me a hand or take any stand

[00:03:50] That's out of their way

[00:03:52] But deep in my heart I know

[00:03:55] I know that I have it

[00:03:57] And I'll get my due life and start anew

[00:03:59] It will be my day
