当你相信时（When You Believe）---第七十一届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲 　　　
　　《埃及王子》（Prince Of Egypt, The）向人们讲述了犹太人先知摩西如何带领犹太人走出埃及的故事，与《圣经》所不同的是，这是一个相对完整的故事，带领犹太人的先知摩西不再是80岁的老叟，而是时值壮年的“王子”，影片一改动画片只能够体现喜剧色彩故事的模式，将这部影片拍成了一部彻彻底底的正剧，片中人物形象饱满，绘制精心，充满艺术性，它将普通电影镜头语言和动画片画面语言的特点完美地结合了起来，大场面丝毫不逊色于一些动作大片。 《埃及王子》的音乐创作阵容十分庞大。由斯蒂芬.舒瓦兹（Stephen Schwartz）作曲，伦敦的管弦乐团，合唱团，美国的童声合唱团与演唱希伯莱文的孩子们一起参加了录制工作。来自中东地区的管乐器和弦乐器较好地体现了曲作者的创作意图，勾勒出地域风情和时代背景。惠特尼.休斯顿（Whitney Houston）和马丽娅.凯莉合唱的动画片主题曲《当你相信时》（When You Believe）是本片一系列电影歌曲的最亮点。 　　

Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there\'s much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It\'s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My heart\'s so full I can\'t explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I\'d say
There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It\'s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe


They don\'t always happen when you ask
And it\'s easy to give in to your fear
But when you\'re blinded by your pain
Can\'t see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near !
There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It\'s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
You will when you believe!
