《Traveling Light》(《轻装前行》),发行时间为2002年,是歌手Joel Hanson&Sara Groves演唱的乡村风格歌曲,收录于专辑《what If it is》中。
乔伊.汉森曾经是荣获过格莱美奖和基督摇滚音乐和平鸽奖(Dove Award)的美国福音乐队(PFR)的成员主唱和吉他手。在1997年PFR解体之后,他走上了单飞的音乐道路,但2000年PFR又重新组合起来,并且先后推出了《Captured》和《 Broken》两张专辑。但是并未取得理想的效果,直到他与Sara Groves合作的一首单曲《Travelling Light》推出之后,才取得了轰动效果。“Travelling Light”中文翻译可以说成是“轻装上阵”,恰如其分地反映了乔伊.汉森在之前遇到的困境和释怀与解脱。而这首歌曲也是很轻松的音乐,思绪在飘渺的旋律中尽情地放纵,往事在悠悠的曲子里隐现,动听的旋律勾起的总是最美好的回忆。就像在夕阳下,迎着柔和的阳光,卸下身上重重的行囊,奔向远方…值得回味!
I was doubling over the load on my shoulders
曾经在我肩头有千钧重担,让我不堪重负
Was a weight I carried with me everyday
每天每日我都觉得沉重不堪难以解脱!
Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers a raging
穿过满路荆棘挫折,趟过无数狂怒激流
Picking up stones I found along the way
不忘一路俯拾寻找圆润美丽的卵石!
I staggered and I stumbled down
我一路蹒跚,坎坷前行
Pathways of trouble
走过这条烦恼不断的旅途!
I was hauling those souvenirs of misery
所有痛苦不幸的回忆让我步履蹒跚
And with each step taken my back was breaking
每一步都仿似将要压弯我的脊梁
'Til I found the One who took it all from me
直到遇到他,我如释重负
Down by the riverside
漫步河畔
(Down by the riverside)
漫步河畔
I laid my burdens down
我卸下满身重负
Now I'm traveling light
如今我将轻装前行
My spirit lifted high
满心舒畅一身轻盈
(I found my freedom now)
如今的我终于自由
I found my freedom now
如今的我终于自由
And I'm traveling light
我将轻装前行
Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys
走过晦暗无光的衢巷,穿越幽暗深邃的幽谷
I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear
所有不安和恐惧化作枷锁让我踉跄难行
Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken
你一句简单的言语便破除了我全部枷锁
Now He's leading me to places
如今他正引领着我前往
Where there are no tears
那永不伤心落泪的天堂
Down by the riverside
漫步河畔
(Down by the riverside)
漫步河畔
I laid my burdens down
我卸下满身重负
Now I'm traveling light
如今我将轻装前行
My spirit lifted high
满心舒畅一身轻盈
(I found my freedom now)
如今的我终于自由
I found my freedom now
如今的我终于自由
And I'm traveling light
我将轻装前行
I laid my burdens down
我卸下满身重负
And I'm traveling light
我将轻装前行
My spirit lifted high
满心舒畅一身轻盈
I found my freedom now
如今的我终于自由
Now I'm traveling light
我将轻装前行
Down by the riverside
漫步河畔
I laid my burdens down
我卸下满身重负
And I'm traveling light
我将轻装前行
My spirit lifted high
满心舒畅一身轻盈
I found my freedom now
如今的我终于自由
Now I'm traveling light
我将轻装前行
Down by the riverside
漫步河畔
I laid my burdens down,
我卸下满身重负
And I'm traveling light
我将轻装前行
My spirit lifted high
满心舒畅一身轻盈
I laid my burdens down
我卸下满身重负
Now I'm traveling light
如今我将轻装前行
