5月6日的这个周六,合唱团将进行今年暑假前这个演唱季的最后一场演出,是在大剧场里举行的。《当我长大时》这首歌是最后一首歌曲,意思是我们这学期结束后就要各自升级了,长大了!
这首歌有男声女声的合唱,也有独唱。这周排练的时候我们还进行了一个pk,要选出谁去领唱。团里有9个男孩报名pk,2个指导老师1个钢琴老师3个高年级的合唱团mentor他们一起做评委。我也参加了pk,第一个试唱,最终我被选中成为领唱,Yeah!
这首歌的歌词大意是,当我长大以后,我就可以爬树,可以回答出以前不会的问题,可以每天吃甜食,可以每天睡懒觉,每天看电影,因为没人管我们了。长大以后,我就可以去搬重的东西,可以去和床底爬出来的怪兽战斗。长大以后,也会发现生活其实不公平,要去面对。
When I grow up
I will be tall enough to reach the branches
That I need to reach to climb the trees
You get to climb when you're grown up

And when I grow up
I will be smart enough to answer all the questions
That you need to know the answers to
Before you're grown up

And when I grow up
I will eat sweets every day on the way to work
And I will go to bed late every night
And I will wake up when the sun comes up
And I will watch cartoons until my eyes go square
And I won't care 'cos I'll be all grown up
When I grow up

When I grow up
I will be strong enough to carry all the heavy things
You have to haul around with you
When you're a grown up

And when I grow up
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight
Beneath the bed each night
To be a grown up

And when I grow up
I will have treats every day
And iIll play with things that mum pretends that mum's don't think are fun
And I will wake up when the sun comes up
And I will spend all day just lying in the sun
And I won't burn 'cos I'll be all grown up
When I grow up

When I grow up
I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight
Beneath the bed each night
To be a grown up
When I grow up

Just because you find that life's not fair
It doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it
If you always take it on the chin and wear it
Nothing will change

(When I grow up)
Just because I find myself in this story
It doesn't mean that everything is written for me

If I think the ending is fixed already
I might as well be saying I think that it's ok
And that's not right
