想念愛爾蘭

和Elevation同樣收錄在
All That You Can't Leave Behind-Oct 2000

是一首聽了心情會很好，很振奮人心的歌喔

開始Larry的鼓聲像心跳般沉穩有力
Bono緩緩唱出生活在忙碌都市的壓力疲倦
就讓心靈暫時放下一切，神遊到其他地方
看看這個世界依然美好，人生依然是充滿希望

MV是在法國戴高樂機場拍攝
還出借飛機跑道(很給U2面子呢^^)，鋪上幾塊美麗的波斯地毯
團員就在跑道上高歌It's a beautiful day~ Don't let it get away~*

Beautiful Day (Lyrics)

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
And you feel like it's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin* fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out
It was a beautiful day
A beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
Beautiful day

1990-2000精選輯內頁中譯:
每顆心都是盛開的花朵　鑽出石地萌芽茁壯
但這是個太過擁擠　沒有生存空間的城市
你的運氣真彆腳　箇中原因值得關切
交通阻塞讓你動彈不得
心想該找個朋友帶你離開這地方
某個能助你一臂之力重拾往日美好時光的人

真是美好的一天
就像天堂降臨般
真是美好的一天
別讓它輕易溜走

你已經上路　卻迷失了方向
早已深陷泥沼　沉淪在幻想迷宮中
你熱愛這個城市　雖然聽起來不像真的
你遺忘了一切　一切也遺忘了你

真是美好的一天
就像天堂降臨般
真是美好的一天
別讓它輕易溜走

觸摸我　帶我到另一個地方
教導我　我知道自己並非無可救藥

看看這個碧綠蔚藍的繽紛世界
目睹中國就近在眼前
看雲霧劈開了重重峽谷
目睹遠洋船隊浩浩蕩蕩揚帆出海
看夜裡遊牧人升起的煙火
目睹油田燃起第一把火燄
看鳥兒叼著一片綠葉
大雨過後所有色彩變得鮮明耀眼

真是美好的一天
別讓它輕易溜走
美好的一天

觸摸我　帶我到另一個地方
打動我　我曉得自己並非無可救藥

不曾擁有的一切如今已不再需要
不曾了解的一切如今已豁然開朗
不曾擁有的一切如今已不再需要
不再需要　不再需要

真是美好的一天
