黄家驹为曼德拉创作《光辉岁月》（Beyond）
演唱：Beyond
钟声响起归家的讯号 The bell tolls for coming home
在他生命里 In his life
彷佛带点唏嘘 it is just a sad story
黑色肌肤给他的意义 The meaning of his black skin
是一生奉献 肤色斗争中 is a devotion, for freedom
年月把拥有变做失去 He has lost everything he had
疲倦的双眼带著期望 He has weary eyes with hope
今天只有残留的躯壳 Now he only has weak body
迎接光辉岁月 to meet glorious moment
风雨中抱紧自由 Hug freedom in brutal time
一生经过彷徨的挣扎 Fight for future in his life
自信可改变未来 Believe the change will come
问谁又能做到 Who can make it happen
可否不分肤色的界线 Can't you judge people by color
愿这土地里 I wish on this planet
不分你我高低 all men created really equal
缤纷色彩显出的美丽 Beautiful colors displayed by God
是因它没有 Because He doesn't separate
分开每种色彩 each one of them
年月把拥有变做失去 He has lost everything he had
疲倦的双眼带著期望 He has weary eyes with hope
今天只有残留的躯壳 Now he only has weak body
迎接光辉岁月 to meet glorious moment
风雨中抱紧自由 Hug freedom in brutal time
一生经过彷徨的挣扎 Fight for future in his life
自信可改变未来 Believe the change will come
问谁又能做到 Who can make it happen
今天只有残留的躯壳 Now he only has weak body
迎接光辉岁月 to meet glorious moment
风雨中抱紧自由 Hug freedom in brutal time
一生经过彷徨的挣扎 Fight for future in his life
自信可改变未来 Believe the change will come
问谁又能做到 Who can make it happen
今天只有残留的躯壳 Now he only has weak body
迎接光辉岁月 to meet glorious moment
风雨中抱紧自由 Hug freedom in brutal time
一生经过彷徨的挣扎 Fight for future in his life
自信可改变未来 Believe the change will come
问谁又能做到 Who can make it happen
今天只有残留的躯壳 Now he only has weak body
迎接光辉岁月 to meet glorious moment
风雨中抱紧自由 Hug freedom in brutal time
一生经过彷徨的挣扎 Fight for future in his life
自信可改变未来 Believe the change will come

光辉岁月 Glorious Time
1989年，一个伟大的南非人，在监狱里关了27年以后，终于可以回家了。他就是这100年中最伟大的人物之一：曼德拉。他把自己的一生献给了南非黑人。如今的南非黑人已经取得广泛的自由，这和曼德拉一生的斗争密不可分。在他释放以后，在远东的香港，有一支叫Beyond的乐队为他的事迹感动，在第二年他们写了一支曲子，献给这位南非的伟人，这支曲子就是《光辉岁月》。这支歌曲有国语和粤语二个版本，我根据粤语版本翻译，在尊重原歌词的基础上，略微改动了一点。
2013年，曼德拉95岁了，身体已经非常虚弱，希望他能早日康复，能听到Beyond为他写的歌。
