Invictus 不可征服-曼德拉

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be,

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance,

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance,

My head is bloody,but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tear,

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years,

Finds,and shall find,me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

永不屈服

夜色沉沉将我笼罩，漆黑犹如地底暗道；

我要感谢上苍赐予，我的心灵永不屈服。

环境多么凶险飘摇，我也不会退缩哀嚎；

挑战有时胆寒心焦，血流满面我不折腰。

在愤怒和悲伤之外，恐怖阴霾逐渐逼来；

未来无情威胁迫害，但我再也无所惧骇。

无论道路多么险隘，面对怎样的岁月；

我，是我命运的主宰，

我，是我灵魂的统帅！
