這首歌反映強勢文明與弱勢文明的關係(戰爭版)
*
來自大國Gordon Tseng的英文四行詩集GOD BLESS NOT ONLY AMERICA
Still, How Many
*
How many lands will get showers of bullets made of new alloy?
How many creatures would perish after the jetfighters’ cool ‘hoy’?
How many wars does a nation have to win to own real peaceful joy?
The answer has been there since they tried to educate the foreign red boy.
- from GOD BLESS NOT ONLY AMERICA
這首大國Gordon Tseng詩集中的英文四行詩原是針對美國人寫的,red boy指印第安男孩。在寫成歌曲時,為了更能反映近代歷史上強勢文化與弱勢文化之間關係的普遍現象,便將結尾改成了:
The answer has been there since they tried to educate the locally foreign uncivilized boy.
(中文版)
還有多少土地要接受子彈的教誨和叮嚀
還有多少生命會消失於戰機的咆嘯與雷鳴
還有多少戰爭要贏才能讓他們真正擁有和平
答案來自啊 有些人總試圖要別人也學會所謂文明
倉庫字典:
locally foreign uncivilized boy "當地很外國的"不文明男孩
嗯,這首四行詩,是不是好像很賽德克巴萊了呢?
Bob Tone作曲,大國的演唱。
歌曲中,詩人還加入了刻意改寫的美國兒歌<印地安男孩>
One little, two little, three little Indians.
Four little, five little, six little Indians.
Seven little, eight little, nine little Indians.
Ten little Indians annoyed.
One lightened, two lightened, three lightened aliens.
Four lightened, five lightened, six lightened aliens.
Seven lightened, eight lightened, nine lightened aliens.
Ten lightened aliens annoyed.
倉庫字典:
Indians annoyed 很不爽的印地安人
lightened aliens annoyed "被教化得很不爽的"外國人
Still, How Many 詞 演唱 大國Gordon Tseng (附美國兒歌<Ten Little Indians>) 作曲編曲 Bob Tone(編曲附美國兒歌<Ten Little Indians>)
