I'll Make a Man Out of You
Jonathan Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons? 當我要求兒子的時候，他們是否把女兒給了我？
You're the saddest bunch I've ever met 你是我所遇到最失落的人群
But you can bet before we're through 但是，在我們經過前，你能夠繼續賭搏
Mister, I'll make a man out of you 先生，我會令你明白如何成為男子漢
Tranquil as a forest 寧靜如森林
But on fire within 但內部正在燃燒
You are sure to win 你必然會勝利
You're a spineless, pale pathetic lot 你們是膽小、面無血色、可憐的一群
And you haven't got a clue 你們不會找到任何端倪
Somehow I'll make a man out of you 但我會以某種方法令你明白如何成為男子漢
I'm never gonna catch my breath 我永不打算追趕我的呼吸
Say goodbye to those who knew me 要對那些認識我的人說再見
Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym 孩子，當我還在學校做體操時，我仍是一個傻子
This guy's got 'em scared to death 這人令他們害怕至死
Hope he doesn't see right through me 希望他沒正在看我
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim 現在，我真希望我懂得游泳
Be a man 成為男子漢
We must be swift as the coursing river 我們必需敏捷如一條流動的河流
Be a man 成為男子漢
With all the force of a great typhoon 具有如強勁颱風一般的力量
Be a man 成為男子漢
With all the strength of a raging fire 具有如暴怒的火焰般的力量
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon 如月亮的另一面般神秘
Time is racing toward us till the Huns arrive 當匈奴來臨，我們必需與時間競賽
Heed my every order and you might survive 聽從我每一個命令，那你便有可能倖存
You're unsuited for the rage of war 你並不適合這一場猛烈的戰爭
So pack up, go home you're through 所以，請你收拾行裝並走循原路回家去
How could I make a man out of you? 我怎能令你明白如何成為男子漢？
Be a man 成為男子漢
We must be swift as the coursing river 我們必需敏捷如一條流動的河流
Be a man 成為男子漢
With all the force of a great typhoon 具有如強勁颱風一般的力量
Be a man 成為男子漢
With all the strength of a raging fire 具有如暴怒的火焰般的力量
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon 如月亮的另一面般神秘
The song "I'll Make a Man Out of You" by Jonathan Young is a powerful motivational theme from Disney's Mulan. It begins with the command to get to the main point, to fight the Huns. The first few lines lament the fact that the soldiers being trained are not male, but female. However, despite the odds stacked against them, they are to become brave soldiers who can stand up even in the face of death. The chorus calls for them to become strong and powerful like the forces of nature: swift like rivers, powerful like typhoons, and raging like fire. The verse in the middle of the song teaches the concept of finding one's center, being tranquil on the outside but on fire inside, which leads to inevitable victory.
The song is rich in motivational and character-building language, such as "tranquil as a forest," "on fire within," "find your center," and "be a man." The song makes it clear that being strong and brave is not determined by one's gender but rather by one's perseverance and determination. The lyrics are a strong reminder that one needs to be strong in the face of challenges, that taking risks is one of the best ways to reach success. The song is a message that overcoming one's weaknesses and becoming a more powerful version of oneself is something anyone can achieve with the right mindset.

Let's get down to business - to defeat the Huns
Let's focus on our task at hand, which is to fight against the Huns
Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?
When I requested for men, did they give me women instead?
You're the saddest bunch I've ever met
You are the most melancholic group I have ever encountered
But you can bet before we're through
But I assure you, by the end of this, things will be different
Mister, I'll make a man out of you
I will teach you how to become a confident and capable man
Tranquil as a forest
Be as peaceful and serene as a forest
But on fire within
Yet, still having the passion and drive inside of you
Once you find your center
When you discover your true inner self
You are sure to win
You will undoubtedly be victorious
You're a spineless, pale pathetic lot
You are cowardly, feeble, and pitiful individuals
And you haven't got a clue
And you have no idea what to do
Somehow I'll make a man out of you
Despite this, I will help you become strong and confident
I'm never gonna catch my breath
I will never have a moment to rest or catch my breath
Say goodbye to those who knew me
Bid farewell to those who used to know me
Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym
I regret skipping gym class in school, as I realize now how valuable it was
This guy's got 'em scared to death
This man has everyone terrified
Hope he doesn't see right through me
I hope he doesn't realize how weak and fearful I truly am
Now I really wish that I knew how to swim
I wish I had the skill to swim, as it could help me in this situation
Be a man
Become a strong and courageous individual
We must be swift as the coursing river
We must be agile and fast like a flowing river
With all the force of a great typhoon
With all the power and impact of a strong typhoon
With all the strength of a raging fire
With all the strength and energy of an intense fire
Mysterious as the dark side of the moon
As enigmatic and enshrouded in mystery as the other side of the moon
Time is racing toward us till the Huns arrive
We are running out of time until the Huns arrive
Heed my every order and you might survive
Listen to my every command and you may make it out alive
You're unsuited for the rage of war
You are not fit or prepared for the brutality of war
So pack up, go home you're through
You should leave and give up now, as you won't make it through this
How could I make a man out of you?
How can I transform you into a strong and courageous man?
