Lyrics     

Born to try     Delta¹ Goodrem

Doing everything that I believe in
Going by the rules that I've been taught
More understanding of what's around me
And protected from the walls of love

All that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

No point in talking what you should have been
And regretting the things that went on
Life's full of mistakes, destinies and fate
Remove the clouds look at the bigger picture

And all that you see is me
And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

All that you see is me
All I truly believe
All that you see is me

And all I truly believe
That I was born to try
I've learned to love
Be understanding
And believe in life
But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

But you've got to make choices
Be wrong or right
Sometimes you've got to sacrifice the things you like

But I was born to try

   中文歌词

生为拼搏     黛尔塔·古德莱姆

心中的信仰是我行动的源泉
他人的教导是我行事的准则
我要更多地了解这个世界
并在爱的呵护下成长

（我相信）你的眼里全是我
我更相信 生为拼搏
我已学会如何去爱
已懂得要相互谅解
并对生活充满信心
但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你只能舍弃所爱

生为拼搏

说你本该如何毫无意义
日子也不能靠懊悔来延续
生活时有阴差阳错，有些事命中注定
拨开云雾方能见明月

（我相信）你的眼里全是我
我更相信 生为拼搏
我已学会如何去爱
已懂得要相互谅解
并对生活充满信心
但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你只能舍弃所爱

生为拼搏

（我相信）你的眼里全是我
（我相信）你的眼里全是我

我更相信 生为拼搏
我已学会如何去爱
已懂得要相互谅解
并对生活充满信心
但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你必须只能舍弃所爱

生为拼搏

但你得做出选择
不管对错
有时你必须只能舍弃所爱

 歌曲背景

        有些人不想当明星都不行，就如星光灿烂的澳洲小天后Delta Goodrem（黛尔塔·古德莱姆）——

         7岁轻松打进娱乐圈，为澳洲电视台拍广告并亮相于各类电视娱乐节目。12岁用自己挣来的钱自制个人唱片，其中包括五首自创作品和一首由黛尔塔本人演唱的澳大利亚国歌，唱片后被她邮寄给自己喜爱的足球队the Sydney Swans（“悉尼天鹅队”）。“天鹅队”遂充当伯乐，把这匹千里马碟转交给他们的铁杆球迷兼经纪人Glenn Wheatley。

        在接下的两年间，Glenn极力打造黛儿品牌。15岁Delta如愿以偿，签到Sony旗下。18岁其首支单曲Born to try（《生为拼搏》）问世，随即拿下澳洲排行冠军，并一鼓作气抢占英国、新西兰冠军排行。2003年，凭借首张专辑“Innocent Eyes”（《纯真眼眸》），黛尔塔一举摘取了当年ARIA（“澳大利亚音乐大奖”）最佳流行专辑、最佳新人专辑、最佳女艺人、最畅销单曲和最畅销专辑等7项桂冠。

        于是乎，几乎所有的人都认为，又一位国际巨星将从澳洲诞生。而对于这一切，黛尔塔仅用一句话作总结：“这才刚刚开始。”

        如歌曲“Born to try”（《生为拼搏》）所述——Doing everything that I believe in，专辑“Innocent eyes”（《纯真眼眸》）里除几首和他人合作的歌曲外，几乎所有的作品都是Delta本人的独创，“我希望这张专辑能反映我生命中的这段时光，每首歌都是我对往事的回忆。”

        专辑里的主打歌曲“Born to try”一直以来都是电台点播的热门，Delta以她典型的中板抒情风格赢得了听者的心，而中间的高音部分更显示出她坚定的信仰和坚实的唱功。歌曲歌词激励人心，旋律奔放昂扬。
