這兩天突然想起這首歌來，音樂劇《夢幻騎士》(Man of La Mancha)的主題曲”The Impossible Dream”，講的是唐吉訶德的故事。
我高中時很喜歡這首歌，尤其喜歡歌詞的優美與力量。多年之後再度想起這首歌，已經不記得當初聽到版本是誰唱的。還好現在網路實在方便，很快就找到了這個現場演出的版本。
週末放假前，有空的人就欣賞一下吧。歌詞如下，想學好英文的人，這首歌詞真的值得背起來。
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause
And I know if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest
And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star
