音樂說戰爭(二)

  沒有經過戰爭的人不知道戰爭的恐怖,沒有研究過戰爭的人不能想像戰爭的慘烈。遺憾的是,人類的記憶往往不長久,對戰爭的集體記憶尤其如此。
 
  底下是美國著名民歌手茱蒂‧柯琳絲(Judy Collins)於1994年造訪塞拉耶佛後寫下的曲子,她從戰爭棄兒的眼光譴責了成人所發動的戰爭。 
 
  不管戰爭發動者的口號是多麼地冠冕堂皇,在戰爭中永遠會有一大批的無辜受難者,他們只能在睡夢中,甚至死亡之際才能夢見和平,夢見山丘上的小花,夢見母親的笑容,然而,一旦戰爭來臨時,是既無愛也無希望的。 

SONG FOR SARAJEVO
 
Blood in all the streets
Running like a flood
There's no where to hide, no where I can go
I reach out my hand
Touching death itself
Just another holy day in Sarajevo 


I can hear my heart
Pounding like a clock
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing
Fire from the sky
Burning down my life
There is no more love no more longing
 
 
But when I close my eyes
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother's smile
When I close my eyes I dream of Peace 
 

Once I had a home
Once my life was good
Once my mother sang to me and held me
Then the fire came
Falling from the sky
There is no one left who can protect me 
 
War's a wicked bird that never comes to rest
Feeding on the dreams of all the children
War's an evil bird flying in the dark
Stealing every ray of hope and promise 
 
But when I close my eyes
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother's smile
When I close my eyes I dream of Peace 
 
Can't you stop the war?
Bring it to a close?
You are tall and strong
And I am just a child
Can't we live in a peace, stop the flowing blood?
Live in that bright world
Where I can be a child? 
 
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of Peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream you see your mother's smile?
When you close your eyes do you dream of Peace?
( 休閒生活音樂 )
