Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Today's subject.

We are looking at something very interesting today

and something that we all have.

I think this is something  we all have in our lives,

something we hold dear,

something that we believe in.

Something that we hope for in the future.

Your dreams and desires,

the things in your life that you hope will happen,

or maybe the things that you hope you will achieve in your life.

These are your dreams and your desires,

and we all have them,

even if we don't always fulfill them.

We all have things in our lives that we wish for,

maybe a better existence, a dream to achieve something.

These are your dreams,

your desires and your hopes.

Things that you want to come true.

I suppose the word that we often use is desire.

I love this word, by the way.

It's one of my favourite English words desire.

When we desire something, we can do it.

As a verb this means to hope or wish for something.

Something that you want to happen in the future.

So I desire something I hope for something.

Something that I'm wishing for, so we can use it as a verb.

Something you are doing.

I desire that my money worries vanish.

For example,

I desire that my money worries vanish.

So maybe you are having problems earning money,

or maybe you are spending too much money.

Or maybe you wish you had a job where you were paid more.

You are desiring that thing you are.

You hope maybe in the future it will happen.

She desires to be alone with me.

Oh, if you are lucky enough to have a person in your life

who desires to be alone with you,

then you are a very lucky person indeed.

That's all I can say.

As a noun, we can also use desire to need something badly.

Something you really want.

So the thing, the feeling is described as desire.

Maybe something you need eagerly,

or maybe something you need wantonly.

I like that one.

So maybe something you want so much, you almost can't control your feelings.

I cannot control my desire.

Can you feel my desire for you?

The things you want, the things you need,

the things you desire.

Yeah, I do like that word. I have to say.

A strong want can be described as desire.

Something you really want.

Something you need

something you feel that hopefully sometime in your life you will get.

A strong want can be described as desire.

I want to see you every day.

It is my one desire.

So we are using that as a noun in that particular situation.

A hopeful dream for the future is a desire.

I desire a steady job with good pay and we all.

I had many desires as a teenager and I suppose that's true.

Maybe. Maybe there is a stage of your life where you had lots of hopes and lots of dreams.

And I always think quite often when we are young,

maybe we have lots of things that we desire or things that we hope for in the future.

So your dreams, your hopes, your desires,

maybe when you are young,

you have lots of dreams and lots of desires,

things that you hope will happen in the future.

I suppose one of my dreams as a young person was to be a radio presenter.

I always wanted to be in radio somehow.

So as a deejay, playing music or maybe talking on the radio,

maybe discussing certain topics,

I always wanted to do that.

And for a short time I actually managed to do it.

But it is a very competitive business.

It's a very competitive industry.

It's very similar to anyone  who wants to be an actor.

It's very hard to get into

because there are so many people out there who also want the same thing.

So one of the problems with desiring something,

one of the problems with wanting or hoping for something,

is that many other people are also doing the same thing.

They are also out there wanting and desiring.

The same thing is you, so it can be a problem.

I hope for the times ahead.

So I think this is something we all do.

We all, at some point in our lives have something we want.

Something we dream of, something we desire.

It can be an item.

It can be a thing,

or it can be something that we we hope one day we will be able to do.

So. I hope one day I will have the chance to to meet you in person,

face to face. Wouldn't that be amazing?

I have to say that would be very nice indeed.

So a wish for the future.

I hope for the times ahead.

I hope I can get a place at a good college.

My one big wish is to get a satisfying job.

And that's another way of describing it.

I suppose your big wish we can say big wish.

Your big wish is your desire.

The thing that you want most of all in your life is your big wish.

We can also use the word aspire, to show a future wish.

Maybe something you want to do.

Quite often we use the word aspire to describe maybe our career.

The path that we want to take on our career.

So maybe a job that you want to do in the future.

So we can use the word aspire

to show a future wish.

This young man aspires to be a lawyer.

She aspires to be on the school committee.

Something you hope to achieve.

Something you hope to do in the future can be your your wish.

Something that you aspire to.

You have aspirations,

the feeling you have of wanting to achieve something in your career.

You can talk about your aspirations,

your dreams, your desires, to have an ambition.

This is another word that we often use when we are talking about our career.

The job you want to do in your future,

your ambition, the thing you want to do in your life.

You have an aim for the future.

My ambition is to be a city banker and then be hated by everyone.

I admire your dogged ambition.

So the word dogged means you are persistent.

You keep doing it.

You don't give up, you continue doing it.

You feel very strongly about that thing,

so you follow that dream.

I admire your dogged ambition.

To think big.

Oh, I like this phrase very much.

If you want to do something in your life,

sometimes you must think big.

Think vividly about what you want to do.

So I think, yes,

I think that is a good a good phrase that.

Think big to have big plans.

Can I just tell you I have some big plans for the future.

I'm going places I am, I'm going places

I'm going to achieve so much in my life.

I want to do things.

I am going to think big and quite often,

we often say to people,

if you want to do something in your life,

if you have a plan to do something,

always think big.

Always have a very clear idea in your mind

of what you want to do.

I have some big plans for my future.

If you are going to do it, you need to think big.

Another word I like vision to have vision.

So we often think of vision as the sense of seeing.

But of course we can also use vision in another way,

something that you can actually see in your mind,

something that you can imagine is your vision.

The thing that you hope in the future will be reality. So you think it.

You imagine it,

but you also hope one day that it will be real.

It will be a real thing.

We often talk about vision.

A person can have vision.

It means they can see a head.

Maybe a person invents a new device,

something that can help other people.

We can say that that person has vision,

they can see ahead,

and that is the thing that they want to do in their life.

Someone might try to take away your hope.

They say or do things to discourage you,

and I'm sure we've all met people like this in our lives.

I know I have.

People who want to take away your dreams or take away your hope.

Maybe something happens in your life

that that maybe delays your plans for the future

and it can happen.

Life is unfair.

Unfortunately, sometimes life can be unfair.

People can be unfair and cruel.

That, as they say, is life.

So there might be people in your life who always try to to discourage you.

Or maybe they are a negative person.

I am a firm believer of having positive people in your life.

If you have a hope for your future,

or maybe a desire, or maybe something you want to do in your life,

try to be near or to associate  with positive people.

It is genuinely thought that having positive people around you

is a good way of achieving your goals,

and I think so.

So sometimes I think knowing  certain types of people

who have a positive way of thinking

or a positive outlook on their lives,

they they are good people to be near.

I think so it can be a very good thing indeed.

To want is to desire,

to wish, to hope, to dream,

to have ambition.

You have a forward plan.

So the plan is what you have.

You are thinking ahead.

Things you want to do in the future.

They are your your plans.

You have a forward plan
