A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
唱
Sing
When I sing for myself, I probably sing for anyone who has any kind of hurt, any kind of bad feelings, good feelings, ups and downs, highs and lows, that kind of thing.
当我为自己唱歌的时候，我可能会为任何受过伤害的人唱歌，任何不好的感觉，好的感觉，起起落落，高潮和低谷，诸如此类。

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music. Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

A lot of performers don't want to leave the circuit, the European opera house circuit, partly because most singers don't sing many concerts, or at least not while they are in their prime.

When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cypress tree: Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt, forget.

I lost my voice for the first time. I was so bummed out, but it happens to every singer at some point in their career. I don't think most people understand, but I sing every night and sometimes we do five shows in a row, which is really bad for your voice.
我第一次失声了。我很沮丧，但这发生在每个歌手的职业生涯的某个阶段。我想大多数人都听不懂，但我每天晚上都唱歌，有时我们会连续演出五场，这对你的嗓子不好。
