Vanessa Williams1968年3月18日出生于美国纽约的达里镇(Tarrytown)。
从小就深受百老汇(Broadway)音乐演出的熏陶。
1985年她进入了锡拉丘兹(Syracuse)大学攻读音乐戏剧。
她在影视和歌唱事业上都颇有建树。
但她的成功来之不易,自从她成为首位夺得“美国小姐”(Miss USA)的黑人后,
有关她的流言就一直不断。而后来,她开始了音乐事业方面的追求。

这首《Colors Of The Winds》(风之色彩)是迪斯尼公司出品的动画电影 《Pocahontas》(风中奇缘)的主题曲。
该曲荣获第六十八届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲奖。
范妮莎.威廉姆斯(Vanessa Williams)演唱的,
使片中那种深沉的感伤、却又充满自由新生的浪漫气氛展露无遗!



Think you own whatever land you land on
Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
Think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You learn things you never knew
You never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
Or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Come run the hidden pinetrails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once never wonder what they´re worth
The rainstorm and the rivers are my brothers
And the heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle in a hoop that never ends
How high does the sycamore grow
If you cut it down, then you´ll never know
And you´ll never hear the wolf cry
To the blue corn moon
Or whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with
All the voices of the mountains
To paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth
And still all you´ll own is earth
Until you can paint with
All the colors of the wind

你觉得你所驻足的每一方土地,
只不过是你能占有的一些毫无生命的事物。
但我知道每块石头、每棵树、每个生物,
都有生命,有灵性,有名字。
你以为外表与思考方式与你同出一辙的
才称之为人类,
但假如你跟随一个陌生的脚步,
你就会有意想不到的收获。
你可曾听到,野狼向着冷月哀嚎?
可曾询问,山猫为何咧嘴而笑?
你能否与大山的声音彼此唱和?
你能否绘尽风的万种色彩?
你能否绘尽风的万种色彩?
来吧,在隐秘的林间小路上尽情奔跑,
来吧,尝尝自然生长的浆果甘甜滋味,
看吧,丰腴的大自然簇拥在你周围,
但这一次请不要计算它们的价值。
暴雨河流是我的兄弟,
苍鹭水獭是我的朋友。
大千万物,皆彼此紧紧相连,
造物的链条往复循环,生生不息
如果你砍倒枫树
你永远不会知道它能长多高
你将永远听不到野狼向着冷月哀嚎,
不论我们的皮肤是黑是白抑或黄,
我们需要与万籁的萧声彼此唱和,
我们需要绘出风中的七彩。
当你绘出风中的七彩,
才可以真正拥有这个世界。
