Artist: Lea Salonga
Title: Reflection
Look at me you may think you see
Who I really am but you'll never know me
Every day it's as if I play a part
as if: 好像 play a part: 装样子骗人
Now I see if I wear a mask
wear a mask: 戴面具 mask: 假面具
I can fool the world but I cannot fool my heart
fool: 愚弄，欺骗
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me
stare: 盯，凝视 straight: 直接
When will my reflection show who I am inside
reflection: 倒影 inside: 在里面
I am now in a world where I
Have to hide my heart and what I believe in
hide: 隐藏 believe in: 相信，信任
But somehow I will show the world
somehow: 不知怎么地，设法
What's inside my heart and be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection someone I don't know
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time
pretend: 假装 for all time: 永久
When will my reflection show who I am inside
There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
burn: 发光，发亮
Why must we all conceal what we think how we feel
conceal: 隐藏
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide
secret: 秘密 force: 强迫
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show who I am inside
When will my reflection show who I am inside
