70 Million

70 Million

And it hardly looked like a novel at all
I hardly look like a hero at all
And I'm sorry you couldn't publish this
And you were white as snow, I was white as a sheet

When you came down in this black dress,
In your mum's black maternity dress

And so, Though it hardly looked like a novel at all
If this city treats me, it treats me to you,
And a cup of coffee for you,
I should learn its language and speak it to you

＊
And 70 million should be in the know, 70 million don't go out at all
And 70 million wouldn't walk these streets, 70 million would grind to a halt
And 70 million would be wrong wrong wrong, And 70 million never see at all
And 70 million haven't tasted snow

And dance dance dance like the children dance
Imply a thought, are we taking a chance?
With the light still on,
And will we ever reach the tower?

And after you came down in this black dress,
I don't know what took so very long

And this, And this isn't war, we don't have to ration
I waved the white flag and you kept it at home
And thus I wrote from a foreign land,
You're holding my no longer foreign hand

中華民國國歌

三民主義，吾黨所宗；以建民國，以進大同。

咨爾多士，為民前鋒；夙夜罪懈，主義是從。

矢勤矢勇，必信必忠；一心一德，貫徹始終。

赤とんぼ

本篇參照樂評：日本童謠─「赤とんぼ」(紅蜻蜓)


赤とんぼ

作詞：三木露風 作曲：山田耕筰

夕焼小焼の赤とんぼ　負われて見たのは　いつの日か
山の畑の桑の実を　小籠に摘んだは　まぼろしか

十五で姐やは嫁に行き　お里のたよりも絶えはてた
夕焼小焼の赤とんぼ　とまっているよ　竿の先

－－－－

紅蜻蜓

晚霞餘輝的紅蜻蜓　被背著看見的　是哪天的事情？
山間田裡的桑樹果　小籃子裡摘進的　是夢幻嗎？

十五歲阿姐出嫁去　故鄉的音訊也斷絕
晚霞餘輝的紅蜻蜓　停著唷　竹竿前瑞上

樂評原文：「長大後在異鄉思念故鄉，或遇到什麼挫折想念親人時，這些樂曲都會給他安慰，給他再奮鬥的力量。」這段文字正正寫出了音樂的力量..

在這個劇變為常態的資訊時代，人群與社會的進步突破之余，什麼該我們好好珍惜？ 又，什麼樣的概念是時代交替之間應該洗鍊出來的？值得我們深思...
