歌坛长青树麦当娜的人生观

（单词翻译）

Literally¹ when I was watching you onstage, I thought to myself, that you put everything you have into that performance, so there is nothing left in your side.

Yes, this is true. I had pushed myself till there's nothing left.

What is inside to you that says "I still have to put every ounce² of what I have on the stage?

Well, I mean the fact that my...my record is number one in 29 countries is, er, it means that,er, I'm connecting to people so when I go to that city and I do a show. I wanna give them my all, 'coz they are giving me their all by buying my record.

Since I've had the opportunity in the last year or two that these little windows, to (moments)kind of come and see you,(huh huh) you strike me as a person who leaves nothing to chance, who lives every day as if it's her last day on Earth.

Well, that's the way I should be living in my life. I would love to get to the end of every one of my days and think did I do everything I meant to achieve. Am I happy this is. . . if this were the last day of my life on Earth , would I be happy about it? I'd say 75% of the time, I'm um, it's YES , but 25% no.

Where's that come from?

Being aware, being more conscious of the way I am with people, being more responsible for myself. And how I interact³ with people, being more grateful. I think that's the main thing - being more grateful and appreciative⁴.

What are you most grateful for?

My family, yeah, 'coz my family keeps me grounded and keeps it all at real.

It is said you are also grateful for this response to this record?

Oh, yes, I'm grateful for that, too. Yes.

Because of the the award. . .

That's ephemeral, I mean.

Right, yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, but from the standpoint⁵ that you are an artist, you work, you clearly put everything you have (Yeah. ) into what you do (Yeah. ) sometimes it's widely successful?

And sometimes it's not. And I'm grateful for the ability to be able to write that because, you know, there is, there is another side to success and that's, well, that's perceived⁷ as, as a failure. But I don't perceive⁶ it that way. I think. . . . .

Like your last, like the previous CD.

Yeah, which, which is the worst selling album of my career, but one of my favourite records ever. But I, what I am grateful for is the ablility to just keep, keep doing what I do, and just you know, okay, people were, you know, people didn't accept that, fine, pick my crown⁸ of buffa flower, put it back on my head and keep going.

ha ha ha. . .

It's all all right?

Madonna says there is a very good possibility she will tour next summer.
