I've paid my dues Time after time I've done my sentenceBut committed no crime And bad mistakesI've made a fewI've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come throughWe are the champions - my friendsAnd we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions We are the championsNo time for losers'Cause we are the champions - of the world I've taken my bowsAnd my curtain calls You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it I thank you all But it's been no bed of rosesNo pleasure cruise I consider it a challenge before the whole human race And I ain't gonna lose We are the champions - my friendsAnd we'll keep on fighting - till the end We are the champions -We are the championsNo time for losers'Cause we are the champions - of the world 这首歌原产于1977年英国著名摇滚乐队Queen－皇后乐队。皇后乐队是流行歌坛中少有的学识涵养较高的团体，因为除了主唱佛莱迪外，其他3个成员都拥有学士学位。上世纪70年代，英国的重金属乐队往往给人不修边幅的落魄印象，但同样打着重金属旗号的“皇后”乐队，则在其着装和举止等方面显示出一派贵族气质。他们打扮雍容华贵，艳丽夺目，大有皇家艺术气质。《We are the champion》最早可是一首同性恋赞歌，现在成了弘扬体育精神和奥运冠军的经典庆贺曲目，直到现在在各种体育盛会上我们还能时常听到这首歌。它很容易让人产生共鸣，特别是对于身处激烈竞争的环境，经过艰苦努力历尽艰辛而豁然开朗达到顶峰的人，能感受到那种摄人魂魄的巨大冲击力。同时反复咀嚼，这首歌还带着淡淡的忧伤，因为光荣与梦想之后其实伴随着是无尽的伤痛和失落。
