Sing Singapore '98 PRESENTED BY NATIONAL ARTS COUNCIL

Sing Singapore '98 is a nation-wide event to promote original songs written by Singaporeans. It also aims to provide an

opportunity for Singaporeans to sing together; to cultivate amongst them, a greater sense of belonging and a love for music and singing.

The Sing Singapore '98 Collection features 17 songs in different moods and styles. The theme song is Home, specially written by well-known

composer singer, Dick Lee. The song captures his feelings and love for a place close to his heart, a place called home.

Sing Singapore '98 was launched at the Suntec City Mall on 28 March 98. A series of activities to promote the Sing Singapore '98 collection of songs have been planned. They include "A Nation Sings", a large scale outdoor concert on 4 July 98 at the Orchard MRT Park, a singing competition for

groups and soloists and a grand celebration concert at the Harbour Pavillion on 29 August 98 to mark the closing of Sing Singapore 98.

Singapore Town You could take a little trip around

Singapore town

In Singapore city bus

To see Collyer Quay and Raffles Place

The Esplanade and all of us

Chorus:

Because in Singapore, Singapore

There hearts are big and wide you'll find

Because in Singapore, Singapore

You'll find happiness for everyone

Let's go down to the riverside

It's an unforgettable sight

To see the sunrise on a faraway isle

turning

Darkness into light

Chorus

The buildings are climbing all the way to

the sky

And there's a hundred other people who

are striving

For people like you and I

Five Stars Arising There's a new moon arising

Out of the stormy sea

Youthful and bright and

Bearing hope, and tranquil as can be

Reach out for the moon above

Savour freedom, truth and love

There's a new moon arising


There are five stars arising


Each is a lamp to guide our way;

A lamp for all to see

Reach out for the stars above


There are five stars arising


There's a new flag arising


Crimson as the blood of all mankind,

Yet white and pure and free

Reach out for the flag above


There's a new flag arising

Happy and proud are we All Rights Reserved, National Library Board, Singapore

睁开眼睛

看身边的一切都市节奏

在催促我向前

不愿青春

消逝在

盲目追逐之间

将我改变自己决定

要怎样的明天

许下诺言

就勇敢去实现

且让生命

能飞扬

永远自由自在

永远有爱

就让心中的理想

更明白

我要让未来更美

更精彩

世界更美好世界更美好

在你我手中

正在创造一个梦

The Magic I s You J A I

Ever since we came to be

You were always there for me

f hear you breathe I see you smile

You have made our lives worthwhile

It's your warmth your beautiful touch

It makes me remember so much

Of the pleasure I treasure

So love on we must

Chorus:

No matter when

No matter where you may go

You know my heart will always stay

For you are here

I know you always will be

It's all because the magic is you

We've had dreams they seemed unreal

We've had hope they gave us zeal

But dreams came true and hopes unfurled

My island's grown into a world

There've been days of laughter and pain

But family and friends will remain

We have grown here together

Let's keep it that way

Home Whenever I am feeling low

I look around me and I know

There's a place that will stay within me

Wherever I may choose to go

I will always recall the city

Know every street and shore

Sail down the river which brings us life

Winding through my Singapore

Chorus

This is home truly

Where I know I must be

Where my dreams wait for me

Where that river always flows

This is home surely

As my senses tell me:

This is where I won't be alone

For this is where I know it's home

When there are troubles to go through

We'll find a way to start anew

There's a comfort in the knowledge

That home's about its people, too

So we'll buiid our dreams together

Just like we've done before

Just like the river which brings us life

There'll always be Singapore.

也许

我一个人不能成就一番人事业

让我尽力贡献一份微薄的力量

也许我自己不能

发出力丈光和亮

但我能为斗室带来足够的光芒

我从来就不在乎自己不是个大人物

因为平凡也是一种幸福

看到名人总是忙忙碌碌

我的时间由我控制

E U N I C E S I M I t ' s The L i t t l e Things

Over the years

I've grown to be a part of you

You've cared for me

And opened the way to a happy

And beautiful life

You make me feel warm and safe

And give me hope for brighter days

It's the little things that we share

The love and joy that's in the air

The children's laughter everywhere

And all our favourite things

Over the years

I've grown accustomed to your ways

And no matter where I be

It warms my heart to know that

You're always here for me

It's the little things that we share

The love and joy that's in the air

The children's laughter everywhere

And all our favourite things

Over the years

I've learnt we share a destiny

And no matter how good others may be

No one cares like you care for me

Cause deep down inside I feel you're a part of me

My Singapore, the place that I call my Home

My Singapore Story Born in your sunshine

Cooled by your rain.

The green of your morning

When the day dawns again.

You are my story,

My Singapore story,

My heart and my homeland

Forever you'll be.

I've crossed the wide oceans

And your light still shines through.

It's then I remember

What my heart always knew.

You are my story,

My Singapore story,

My heart and my homeland

The whole world can see

Chorus

My Singapore Story

I"ll write it with pride,

Though words cannot tell you

What I'm feeling inside

My Singapore story,

I'll tell it with pride

Singapore story,

It's yours and mine

Interlude

Your light fills my pages

Wherever I go,

I've a story to tell,

The whole world will know

细水长流Friendship Runs Deep

年少时候谁没有梦

无意之中你将心愿透漏

就在你生日的时候我将小小口琴送

最难忘记你的笑容

友情的细水慢慢流

流进了你我的心中

曾在球场边为你欢呼你跌伤我背负

夜里流星飞渡想象着他日的路途

晚风听着我们壮志无数

年少时候谁没有愁

满腔愤慨唯有你能听得懂

每当我失意的时候

你将那首歌吹奏

琴声悠悠解我轻忧

岁月的细水慢慢流

流到了别离的时候

轻拍你的肩听我说明友不要太惆怅

霓虹纵然再嚣张我们的步覆有方向

成败不论切莫将昔日遗忘

多年以后又再相逢

我们都有了疲倦的笑容

问一声我的朋友何时再为我吹奏

是否依旧是否依旧

人生的际遇千百种

但有知心相重

人愿长久水愿长流

Rive r Of Dreams Moon is shining bright alone I sit beside

River of dreams I ask of you

Tell me will he be as fine as I have dreamed

Do you think he's waiting for me too

In the candle light I see them passing by

Two by two along the river side

But 1 won't be as blue as long as I have you

River won't you make my dream come true

And finally when we meet

Will he recognise me

Have we already met before

On a quiet evening

Another night like this

Maybe he's been here before

Moon is shining bright alone t sit beside

River of dreams I ask of you

Tell me will he be as fine as I have dreamed

Do you think he's waiting for me too

River won't you make my dream come true

每一次我感到仿徨

不自禁就会回头望

我知道心中有个地方

一定会有一盏灯

照亮每一颗黑暗的心房

指引未来方向

沿着生命河流向前航

就能登陆理想

我的家收藏我的欢喜悲伤

只要点燃希望梦就会自由飞翔

我的家给我一双坚定翅膀

我的梦不论在何方一生的爱唯有家

再也不会感到仿徨

不会再失意回头望

我要用心中一点烛光

燃放千万户辉煌

要让繁华的城市更灿烂

世界和平共享

全凭生命河流来导航

一起登陆理想

我的家收藏我的欢喜悲伤

只要点燃希望梦就会自由飞翔

我的家给我一双坚定翅膀

我的梦不论在何方

一生的爱唯有家

一生的爱唯有家

世世代代温暖的家
