When A Child Is Born

此歌歌手Johnny Mathis（约翰尼·马蒂斯）有“乡村歌王”的美称，最擅长演唱那些具有典型民族地方特色的优秀歌曲。《When A Child Is Born》是美国电影《人狼之恋》中的主题插曲，也是一首圣诞歌曲。这首歌明显地带有宗教色彩和西方基督文化。这种以基督思想作底蕴的传统文化渗透了西方社会的各个方面，这种文化背景，对于理解西方人、特别是美国人有着特定的深刻意义。歌曲演唱的静谧与至洁更加增添了这种文化的氛围和风格的浓重。

A ray of hope flickers in the sky,
A tiny star lights up way up high,
All across the land dawns a brand new morn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A silent wish sails the seven seas,
The winds of change whisper in the trees,
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.

A rosy dawn settles all around,
You got to feel youre on solid ground,
For a spell or two no one seems forlorn,
This come to pass when a child is born.

(And all of this happens bacause the world is waiting.waiting for one child, black,white,yellow,no one knows, but a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter,hate to love,war to peace, everyone and everyones name, and suffering will be words to be forgotten forever.)

It’s all a dream, an illusion now.
It must come true some time soon somehow,
All across the land dawns a brand new morn,
This comes to pass when a child is born.
