The Beatles: Let It Be


This might seem like an obvious choice, but I had to do it someday. I was watching the movie "Quitting" on IFC one day, and here it comes, in Chinese (reading subtitles): "speaking words of wisdom, things as they are..." or something very similar. here is the link to IMDB for that movie:
Quitting
These are the type of words that upon first reading seem really cheesy, then you realize it's only because they've been copied so many times.
Moot Pt.

Here are the ever so famous English lyrics:

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....
