"Working On A Dream"
"为梦奋斗"
——B.Springsteen
Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely
漫漫黑夜、茕茕白昼
I think of you and I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
挂念着你，我为梦奋斗，为梦拼搏
Now the cards I've drawn's a rough hand, darling
亲爱的、我摸到了一手坏牌
I straighten the back and I'm working on a dream
不过我挺直了腰、继续为梦想奋斗
I'm working on a dream
为梦拼搏
·············
I'm working on a dream
我为梦想奋斗着啊
Though sometimes it feels so far away
虽然有时，梦想似乎遥不可及
I'm working on a dream
不过，我为梦想奋斗着
And I know it will be mine someday
我坚信、有朝一日，它会属于我
·············
Rain pourin' down, I swing my hammer
倾盆大雨里、我挥舞着手里的铁锤
My hands are rough from working on a dream
双手因为劳作而老茧累累
I'm working on a dream
我为梦想奋斗着啊
·············
I'm working on a dream
我为梦奋斗着
Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay
虽然困难令我步履维艰
I'm working on a dream
我为梦奋斗着
Well our love will chase trouble away
我们的爱，将会消弭困境
··············
I'm working on a dream
我为梦想奋斗着啊
Though it can feel so far away
虽然它遥不可及
I'm working on a dream
我继续为梦想奋斗着
Our love will make it real someday
我们的爱，会令美梦成真
·············
The sun rise up, I climb the ladder
旭日东升，我爬上梯子
The new day breaks and I'm working on a dream
破晓时分，崭新的一天，我为梦想奋斗着
I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
I'm working on a dream
为梦想奋斗啊，奋斗

I'm working on a dream
我还是会为梦奋斗
Our love will make it real someday
我们的爱，会令美梦成真
I'm working on a dream

我们的爱，会令美梦成真

滚石的评价
The song's sunny lyric develops what Rolling Stone called "a rare and timely moment of unabashed optimism" for Springsteen
滚石杂志对这首歌阳光的歌词调侃道:"这是Springsteen罕见而适时的、且泰然自若的(unabashed)乐观时刻"。

我的感想
经历了Magic这张黑暗专辑后，Working on a Dream是黑夜后，一抹姗姗来迟的温暖的曙光。梦想与工作，在boss魔法般的笔下调和着，生成了极为温暖人心的产物。听着这首带着"太阳律动"般的歌，似乎残酷的世界、繁重的工作也不再凛冽伤人了。
我想这首歌，就是boss献给妻子和东大街的老朋友们的吧。一首歌就像一幕回忆，他一定回想起了他们曾经为了梦想一起奋斗、挥洒汗水的日子。
这首歌最迷人的部分之一，就是Big Man在interlude处的口哨表演;而在08年时，东大街成员之一，Phantom Dan去世了，《为梦奋斗》这张专辑就是boss献给Dan的。愿他们在天堂安好
