謝神

09.謝神
台灣各地有許多的廟宇，舉辦各種慶典
人們相信各式的神靈住在廟宇裡
所以他們前去與神靈溝通、祈求平安

大約在30年前
中華民國政府決定要把高污染的石油煉製廠區設置在高雄
當時的人們被政府矇騙，無法得知這對環境有莫大傷害
而高雄的廟宇在當時陸續擲出立茭(代表神靈有話要說)
第一場由神靈領軍的社會運動就此展開

Gratitude Ceremony
There are temples and ceremonies everywhere in Taiwan.
People think many kinds of gods and spirits live in temples,
so they go to pray and ask for their requests.

About 30 years ago
R.O.C government decided to set up the petroleum refining industrial zone in Takao,
Most of the people were cheated by the R.O.C government,
Just few people knew it would pose a threat of pollution to the environment.

And something strange happened in temples.
Gods instructed people to fight, to protect their home.

This is the story about this song.

天頂的月 溪水的魚
thinn-tíng ê guêh, khe-tsuí ê hî
故鄉的恁 敢有看見
kòo-hiong ê lín, kám ū khuànn-kìnn
一把香火 一碗鹹糜
tsit̍-pé hiunn-hué, tsit̍-uánn kiâm-muê
老祖來保庇
Láu-tsóo lâi pó-pì
