赖世雄精讲英文歌曲(7): 我参加你的婚礼

本曲大意
歌者藉歌词叙述某男子去参加好友的婚礼。看到自己心爱的人结婚，意味着自己梦想破碎了，于是也和女方家长一同哭泣。不过却是一种眼泪两样心情。

英文歌词
I went to your wedding although I was dreading² the thought of losing you. The organ was playing; my poor heart kept saying, "My dreams, my dreams are through."
You came down the aisle³, wearing a smile, a vision of loveliness. I uttered a sigh, and then whispered goodbye, goodbye to my happiness.
Your mother was crying, your father was crying, and I was crying, too. The teardrops were falling because we were losing you.

歌词翻译

虽然我害怕想到自己即将失去妳，我却仍参加了妳的婚礼。管风琴正演奏着，我可怜的心一直说：『我的梦想，我的梦想破灭了。』
妳带着微笑步下走道，看起来是那么美。我发出一声叹息，低声说再见，对我的幸福道再见。
妳的母亲在哭泣，妳的父亲在哭泣，而我也在哭泣。我们的泪珠落下，因为我们失去了妳。
