歌词与翻译

[中文]

没错，那就是我。

那是班公错湖，一个冰封的

班公错湖。

位于印度海拔4500米的地方。

这就是一个关于印度滑冰运动员

走向世界又回归的故事。

我出生在古吉拉特邦的艾哈迈达巴德。

我出生在一个运动员家庭，

一个体育世家。

我是第三代运动员，

我一直想，你知道的，

让印度的名字在世界体育版图上闪光。

我的父亲、祖父、母亲，

他们所有人都告诉我，有一件事

是别人无法从你身上夺走的，

那就是你在体育运动中取得的成就。

你知道的。

所以，没错，那就是我父亲。他曾是

印度的全国冠军，我姑姑

也曾是轮滑项目的全国冠军，

蝉联了10年。

我祖父曾与少校迪亚·昌德（Dhyan Chand）一起打曲棍球。

Major Dhyan Chand Ji. So, I think over

我想这些年来，我是在一个家里摆满

各种体育纪念品的屋檐下长大的。

所以，我追随体育之路是很自然的。

going to pursue sports.

后来，

我开始练习轮滑。

赢得了全国金牌，入选了

印度国家队，并获得了古吉拉特邦颁发的

萨达尔·帕特尔卓越奖。

但这还远远不够。

2008年，我收拾行囊，远赴

欧洲，去追求那个不可能的梦想，

代表印度参加冬奥会的滑冰项目。

Olympics for India.

现在，

我在荷兰的一位朋友

对我说了这样一句话：“维什瓦拉吉（Vishwaraj），

你必须得有点疯狂才能坚持下去，因为在文化上，

this because culturally

你们语言里只有一个词来形容冰和雪，那就是‘Baraf’。”

for ice and snow, baraf."

所以，你是怎么想到这一点的？我当时心想，

“是啊，也许我有点狂热。

我不知道，但那种动力，

那种想要做一些前所未有的事情的动力

始终都在。”就这样，我们开始了。

was always there. And yeah, so we began.

我从印度到荷兰，又回到喜马拉雅山脉，

因为那是让我找回自己的地方。

在长达18年的时间里，

period of time, over a period of 18

这段旅程中你能想象到的一切错误，

我全都犯过，甚至还不止一次。

但即便如此，我依然坚持着，

依然站在这里。

在荷兰，速滑项目之于荷兰，

就像板球之于印度。所以，这是一个显而易见的选择。

is like cricket to India. So, that was

当你去那里时，人们会

when you go there, people would

理解你想做的事。

这就好比有人想来印度打板球一样。

and play cricket in India.

我遇到了一位非常出色的教练。

这18年来他一直陪伴着我，

指引我走过这充满挑战的运动，

challenging

这是世界上最艰苦的运动之一。他叫维姆·纽文赫森（Wim Nieuwenhuizen）。

there. His name is Wim Nieuwenhuizen.

我们一起环游世界，做了很多疯狂的事情。

done a lot of crazy things.

作为一名精英运动员，每一天的生活

看起来都像是不可能完成的任务，

因为它充满挑战。

但好奇心，

the curio You need your You need to have

你需要你的好奇心，

它会让你不断前进。

当你解答了足够多的问题，你终会到达目的地。

但随着时间的推移，

这显然会对身体造成损害。

我全身的骨头几乎都断过，

脑震荡过好几次，

但我的想法是：绝不放弃，绝不回头。

and there's no going back.

维姆总是说，

“你知道吗，如果你能从印度远道而来，

投身于我的运动，那我也有足够的疯狂来教你。”

我们就这样开始了。

18年来，我代表印度参加了300场比赛，

刷新了70多项全国纪录，

并获得了8枚国际奖牌。

international medals.

Uh

显而易见，我错过了冬奥会。

Olympics.

没关系。这是一个苦涩的果实，

但这就是生活。

但我学到了很多，

至少学会了哪些事情是不能做的，因为我们尝试过所有可能的方法。

something at least, because we've tried

everything which out there.

最终，我开始思考下一步该做什么。

myself figuring out what to do next.

我又回到了喜马拉雅山。

为了找回自己，为了弄清前路，

next,

为了找到方向。

然后，我在这片巨大的冰原上开始滑冰。因为那里

big frozen piece of land. Cuz there was

空无一人，气温有时低至零下30度、40度。

我在这里创造了印度最高的5公里滑冰纪录。

这也是一种奇妙的体验。

fascinating situation to be in.

那么你可能会好奇接下来会发生什么。

next.

现在我正在指导下一代运动员，

of athletes

去迎接他们的更高水平。

to their next level. And I will make

我绝不会让他们听到“你不行”这种话。

enough.

在我的辅导项目中，我们最近终于在全国赛上

finally we won some medals at the

拿到了奖牌。孩子们也在场，

这真是太让人高兴了。

所以我认为体系正在奏效，只要你有动力，

you have motivation, uh anything is

一切皆有可能。只要你不断寻求答案，

天高任鸟飞。

如果连月球上都有人的脚印，

天又怎么会是极限呢？你必须不断推着自己向前，这就是

on pushing yourself and that's what

我所经历的。就这样，我这个大学辍学生，

居然能站在这里讲述我的旅程。

所以，就这样，我们依然屹立于此。

stand.

谢谢。

[英语]

Yeah. That's me.

Uh that is Pangong Tso Lake, a frozen

Pangong Tso Lake

uh at 4,500 m altitude in India.

And this is the story about an ice

skater from India to the world and back.

I was born in Gujarat, Ahmedabad.

Uh and was born in a family of athletes,

sports persons.

I'm a third generation athlete

who wanted to go and, you know,

put India on the world map for a sport.

My father and my grand and my mother and

all of them said that the one thing

which people cannot take away from you

is your achievements of of um sports,

you know.

Uh so, yeah, that's my dad. Uh he was a

national champion for India, and my aunt

uh used to be also a national champion

for 10 years for roller skating. Uh and

my grandfather used to play hockey with

Major Dhyan Chand Ji. So, I think over

the years I grew up in a household with

a lot of sport sports memorabilia in the

house. Uh so, it was obvious that I was

going to pursue sports.

Uh at some point of time I picked up

roller skating. Uh went on to win the

national gold, uh got selected in the

Indian team, got a Sardar Patel Award of

Excellence from the Gujarat state.

But all of that wasn't enough.

Uh in 2008, I packed my bags and moved

to Europe to pursue the impossible dream

of becoming an ice skater at the Winter

Olympics for India.

Now,

one of my friends in the Netherlands, he

said he told me, "Vishwaraj,

you need to be slightly mad to pursue

this because culturally

in your language, there's only one word

for ice and snow, baraf."

So, how do you come up with this? I was

like, "Yeah, maybe I'm a little fanatic.

I don't know, but the motivation

the motivation and the leap to do

something which was never done before

was always there. And yeah, so we began.

I went from India to the Netherlands and

back to the Himalayas because that was

where I found myself again. Over a

period of time, over a period of 18

years, everything which you could have

imagined could have gone wrong in this

journey has gone wrong twice. But still

standing,

still here. Netherlands where is I long

track speed skating to the Netherlands

is like cricket to India. So, that was

an obvious choice. So that, you know,

when you go there, people would

understand what you want to do, how you

want It's like somebody wanting to come

and play cricket in India.

I met a very interesting coach. He's

been with me for the last 18 years

helping me, guiding me through this

challenging

and one of the most difficult sports out

there. His name is Wim Nieuwenhuizen.

Together, we've seen the world and we've

done a lot of crazy things.

Every day in an athlete's life, in an

elite athlete's life, feels impossible

because it is challenging.

But the curiosity

the curio You need your You need to have

your curiosity

which will constantly keep you going.

Answer enough questions, you will get

somewhere. But over a period of time,

obviously it gets taxing on your body.

I've broken most of my bones in my body,

I had a concussion a couple of times,

but the idea was there's no giving up

and there's no going back.

Wim always said,

"You know, if you're coming all the way

from India to to my sport, I'm crazy

enough to coach you. And we began.

Over a period of 18 years, I've

represented India for 300 races, over 70

national records, and eight

international medals.

Uh

and obviously I missed out on the Winter

Olympics.

That was okay. It was a tough pill to

tough pill to swallow, but that is life.

But I learned a lot,

uh learned how not to make how not to do

something at least, because we've tried

everything which out there.

So eventually at some point I found

myself figuring out what to do next.

And I ended up in the Himalayas again.

To find myself, to understand what is

next,

uh how to do this.

And then I ended up ice skating on this

big frozen piece of land. Cuz there was

nobody. It was minus 30, minus 40 at

times. And I made the world's highest 5

km in India. Which was another

fascinating situation to be in.

So now you might wonder what happens

next.

Now I'm mentoring uh the next generation

of athletes

to go

to their next level. And I will make

sure that they're never told it's not

enough.

So in my mentorship program recently,

finally we won some medals at the

nationals. Uh the kids are here. So

which is very nice to hear know.

So I think the system is working and if

you have motivation, uh anything is

possible. You answer enough questions,

sky is the limit. And and how can uh sky

be the limit if there are footsteps on

the moon, you know? So you need to keep

on pushing yourself and that's what

happened. And somehow here I am at IIT,

a college dropout, talking about my

journey. So well, here we go and here we

stand.

Thank you.
