I write the songsBarry Manilow
Words and Music by Bruce Johnston

I've been alive forever
And I wrote the very first song
I put the words and the melodies together
I am music and I write the songs

*I write the songs that make the whole world sing
I write the songs of love and special things
I write the songs that make the young girls cry
I write the songs, I write the songs

My home lies deep within you
And I've got my own place in your soul
Now, when I look out through your eyes
I'm young again, even though I'm very old(*)

Oh my music makes you dance
And gives you spirit to take a chance
And I wrote some rock 'n' roll so you can move
Music fills your heart
Well, that's a real fine place to start
It's from me, it's for you
It's from you, it's for me
It's a worldwide symphony(*)

I am music (music) and I write the songs

我写了一些歌　巴瑞曼尼洛


我已活了一辈子
写下了第一首歌
我把歌词和旋律组合起来
我已融入音乐，我写了歌

我写了一些歌，全世界的人们都在唱
我写了一些关于爱和特别事物的歌
我写了一些歌，让年轻女孩哭了
我写了一些歌，我写了一些歌

我的住所就在你心底
在你灵魂中，我占有一席之地
此刻，当我透过你的双眼望去
我又变得年轻，虽然我已年老

我的音乐使你跳起舞来
使你精神振奋，跃跃欲试
我写了一些摇滚乐让你能摆动身体
音乐充满了你的心
那是个很好的开始
为了你，这是发自我内心
为了我，这是来自你心底
这是一首全世界的交响曲

我已融入音乐，我写了这些歌

　这首歌是巴瑞曼尼洛的畅销曲之一，曾在一九七六年登上单曲排行榜的冠军，另一对夫妻档的二重唱Captain & Tennille也曾翻唱过。巴瑞曼尼洛本身是位作曲家歌手( Songwriter Singer )，写出过不少动人的歌曲，但I write the songs这首歌却不是他作的曲子。
