Learn to be lonely

Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Ever dreamed out in the world
There were arms to hold you?
You’ve always known
Your heart was on its own
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved Alone

学着享受寂寞

荒芜中的孩子啊！
你诞生自虚空里
学着享受寂寞吧！
学着在黑暗中探寻自我
有谁会与你同行？
有谁会施予你安抚及关爱?
学着享受寂寞吧！
学着与孤独相处
曾想过踏入世俗
接受世人的拥抱？
你早已明了
你的心只属于自己
在寂寞中开怀吧！
荒芜中的孩子
学着享受寂寞吧！
学着陶醉于独自一人的今生
学着享受寂寞吧！
生命是可以独自渡过的
热情是可以寄托于孤独的

此曲为电影「歌剧魅影」片尾曲，由该片剧作家Andrew Lloyd Webber电影版新谱之曲，歌词由Charles Hart撰写，并由片中女高音Minnie Driver演唱，词曲内容为感叹魅影注定孤独一生的悲剧结局，引人无限惋惜。
