Hang On Little Tomato
The sun has left and forgotten me
夕阳西斜,黑暗降临
It's dark, I cannot see
黑夜给予我黑色的眼睛
Why does this rain pour down?
当大雨倾盆而下
I'm gonna drown
我将永沉水下
In a sea...of deep confusion
迷失在深海中,堕入惶恐漩涡
Somebody told me - I don't know who
幸有不可知之人在我耳畔低语
Whenever you are sad and blue
当你悲伤忧郁
And you're feejin' all alone and left behind
当你孤单空虚
Just take a look inside and you will find
审视自身,你会发现
You gotta hold on, hold on through the night
你将充满力量,支撑你渡过无尽黑夜
Hang on, things will be all right
坚持住,一切安好
Even when it's dark
即便身处黑暗
And not a bit of sparkling
一片漆黑没有闪光
Sing-song sunshine from above
歌咏下,阳光从头顶倾泻
Spreading rays of sunny love - just
将温暖和爱普照大地
Hang on, hang on to the vine
坚持住,抓住攀升的藤蔓
Stay on, soon you'll be divine
不放手,你将成就非凡
If you start to cry, look up to the sky
如果你开始哭泣,仰望蓝天
Something's coming up ahead
未来之事不可预测
To turn your tears to dew instead
把眼泪化为露珠
And so I hold on to this advice
然后谨记这个建议
When change is hard and not so nice
若天有不测风云
If you listen to your heart the whole night through
坚持本心,便风轻云淡
Your sunny somedav will come one dav soon to you
守的云开,总会见日出
