第一幕 第一首(1-1)
《不要辜负了你最想成为的东西》
[Don't Be Anything Less Than Everything You Can Be]

(对白)
史努比:幸好生活中有很多事情你是可以指望的。
史努比:比如那棵树的那片树叶,我睡上一觉,待我醒来那片树叶肯定还在。
Snoopy:It's nice to know that there are somethings in life that you can count on.
史努比:Like that leaf over there on that tree, I can go to sleep and I know when I wake up, that leaf will still be there
查理布朗:落叶会让你伤感吗?
Do falling leaves make you sad?
露西:当然不!如果它们注定落下,就让它们落下。
Absolutely not! if they want to fall I say let them fall
露西:事实上,落叶归根是一件好事。当你看到这些树叶从地面跳回树上,你应该去找医生了。
In fact falling leaves are a very good sign.It's when you see them jumping back onto the trees that you're in trouble.
莎莉:看到这些落叶吗?每一年这都会上演。
Sally:See that leaf falling?This happens every year.
莎莉:这是自然的节律之一。
Sally:This is known as one of the cycles of nature.
莎莉:我们可以从中受到启发。
Sally:There's a lesson to be learned from this.
莎莉:你想知道这是什么吗?
Sally:Do you know what it is?
(歌唱)

莎莉/Sally
如果能成为大树,不要止步于树叶
Don't be a leaf if you can be that tree
如果能成为大海,不要止步于雨点
Don't be the raindrop if you can be the sea
因为树叶会落,而大树常在
For the leaf may fall but the tree remains
雨滴会蒸发,而大海仍在
It may never rain at all, but the sea remains.
愿你成为树木和大海
Better to be the tree and the sea.
明白吗?
See?
如果能成为天空,不要止步于云朵
Don't be a cloud if you can be the sky.
莱纳斯/Linus
不要止步于羽毛,做一只飞翔的鸟儿
Don't be a feather. Be a bird and fly.
因为天空可以孕育新云朵
The cloud rolls by, but the sky rolls on,
鸟儿可以长出新羽毛
And a bird can fly with a feather gone.
合唱/Together
愿你成为鸟儿、天空和树木
Be a bird and the sky and the tree
还有湛蓝深邃的大海
and the deep blue sea.
莎莉/Sally
不要辜负了你最想成为的东西
Don't be anything less than everything you can be.

薄荷派蒂/Peppermint Patty
如果能做一艘船,不要止步于做船帆
Don't be the sail if you can be the boat.
如果能做一件外衣,不要止步于做内衬
Don't be the lining if you can be the coat.
因为船没了帆仍能浮在水上
It may lose its sail, but a boat will float
外衣没了内衬还能接着穿
And a coat without a lining is still a coat.
愿你成为帆船和外衣
Better to be the boat and the coat.
结束了吗?(Coat音似Quote)
Quote?!
查理布朗/Charlie Brown
与其做一根鼓棒,不如做一架大鼓
Don't be the stick if you can be the drum.
与其做一粒砂糖,不如做一枚李子
Don't be the sugar. Be the plum, by gum.
薄荷派蒂/Peppermint Patty
因为鼓棒断了,鼓仍能发声
You can break a stick, but a drum will beat.
没有了糖衣,李子依旧很美味
Without a sugar coat, plums are good to eat.
合唱/Together
愿你成为大鼓、李子
Better to be the drum and the plum
外衣、帆船、鸟儿
and the coat and the boat and the bird
天空、树木
and the sky and the tree
还有湛蓝深邃的大海
And the deep blue sea.
不要辜负了你最想成为的东西
Don't be anything less than everything you can be.
查理布朗/Charlie Brown
如果能成为奶牛,可别学牛叫
Don't be the "moo" if you can be the cow.
莱纳斯/Linus
如果你能成为犁,可别成为田间沟
Don't be the furrow if you can be the plow.
查理布朗/Charlie Brown
因为学牛叫挤不出一滴牛奶,没门!
Cause you can't get milk from a "moo". No way!
莱纳斯/Linus
因为田间沟得靠犁开凿
And the furrow's in a rut, but the plow's okay.
合唱/Together
愿你成为奶牛和犁
Better to be the cow and the plow.

薄荷派蒂/Peppermint Patty
该我了
Now!
做只小蜜蜂,不做蜂尾刺
Don't be the sting if you can be the bee.
莎莉/Sally
三个臭皮匠,顶个诸葛亮
Don't be the two if you can be a three.
薄荷派蒂/Peppermint Patty
因为蜂刺蜇人很痛苦
'Cause a sting can't make you a honey bun.
莎莉/Sally
3减去2还剩1
Take two from three and you still got one.
合唱/Together
愿你能成为蜜蜂、奶牛
Better to be the three and bees and the cow
或者犁、鼓、李子
and the plow and the drum and the plum
还有外衣、帆船、小鸟、天空、树木
and the coat, boat, bird, sky, tree
还有湛蓝深邃的大海
and the deep blue sea.
不要辜负了你最想成为的东西
Don't be anything less than everything you can be.

合唱/Together
如果你能成为风筝,别做风筝线
Don't be the string if you can be the kite.
如果你能照亮他人,别做灯下影
Don't be the darkness if you can be the light.
因为线断风筝飞更高
Though you lose its string, you can fly a kite,
夜里风筝难寻回
But would anybody here fly a kite at night?
愿您向往风筝和光明
Better to be the kite and the light.
对不对?!
Right?!
如果你能成为史努比,那就别做他尾巴
Don't be the tail if you can be the dog.
如果能成为树干,那就别做其树皮
Don't be the bump if you can be the log.
因为尾巴的控制权在史努比上
He can wag his tail, but it can't wag "he".
因为树皮破了还能再长出来
A bump without a log isn't much to be.
愿每个人的梦想都能成真
Better to be the dog and the log and
and the kite and the light and the three and the bee
and the cow and plow and the drum and plum and the coat
and the boat and the bird and the sky and the tree!
薄荷派蒂/Peppermint Patty
还有湛蓝深邃的大海
And the deep blue sea!
合唱/Together
不要辜负了
Don't be anything less
你最想成为的东西
than everything you can be.
