謝謝大家來聽歌,還有認識 Apple 裝置在授課時的整合玩法,可能彼此工作場域不一樣,聽不懂沒關係的。至少我們認識了 Neil Young 的兩首歌,補在這邊給大家。
After the Gold Rush — Neil Young
第一段:過去 (中世紀的夢境)
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
我夢見身披盔甲的騎士策馬而來
Saying something about a queen
傳述著關於某位女王的消息
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming
農民在歌唱,鼓手在擊鼓
And the archer split the tree
弓箭手一箭射穿了林木
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun
號角聲對著太陽吹響
That was floating on the breeze
在微風中輕輕飄盪
Look at Mother Nature on the run
看那大自然正落荒而逃
In the nineteen seventies
在那個一九七〇年代
第二段:現在 (1970 年代的迷惘)
I was lying in a burned out basement
我躺在一處燒毀的地下室裡
With the full moon in my eyes
雙眼映著一輪滿月
I was hoping for replacement
我正期待著某種替代(或救贖)
When the sun burst through the sky
當陽光刺破了天際
There was a band playing in my head
腦海中有一支樂團正在演奏
And I felt like getting high
我感覺神智有些飄忽
I was thinking about what a friend had said
我想著一位朋友曾經說過的話
I was hoping it was a lie
並希望那只是一個謊言
Look at Mother Nature on the run
看那大自然正落荒而逃
In the nineteen seventies
在那個一九七〇年代
第三段:未來 (科幻式的撤離)
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flying
我夢見銀色的太空船正在飛行
In the yellow haze of the sun
在太陽的黃色薄霧之中
There were children crying and colors flying
孩子們在哭泣,色彩漫天飛揚
All around the chosen ones
圍繞在那些被選中的人身旁
All in a dream, all in a dream
全是一場夢,全是一場夢
The loading had begun
裝載程序已經開始
They were flying Mother Nature’s silver seed
他們正帶著大自然的銀色種子
To a new home in the sun
飛向太陽裡的新家園
Look at Mother Nature on the run
看那大自然正落荒而逃
In the nineteen seventies
在那個一九七〇年代
====================
Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)
大地之母 (自然頌歌)
[Verse 1]
Oh, Mother Earth with your fields of green
Once more laid down by the hungry hand
How long can you give and not receive?
And feed this world ruled by greed
And feed this world ruled by greed
喔,大地之母,妳那翠綠的田野
再次因那貪婪之手而荒蕪
妳還能付出多久而不求回報?
去供養這個被貪欲統治的世界
去供養這個被貪欲統治的世界
[Verse 2]
Oh, ball of fire in the summer sky
Your healing light, your parade of days
Are they betrayed by the men of power
Who hold this world in their changing hands
They hold the world in their changing hands
喔,夏日天際中的火球(太陽)
妳那治癒之光,妳那日復一日的巡禮
是否被那些權勢者所背叛?
他們將這世界掌控在反覆無常的手中
他們將這世界掌控在反覆無常的手中
[Verse 3]
Oh, freedom land, can you let this go?
Down to the streets where the numbers grow
Respect Mother Earth and Her giving ways
Or trade away our children’s days
Or trade away our children’s days
Respect Mother Earth and Her healing ways
Or trade away our children’s days
喔,自由之地,妳能任由這一切發生嗎?
任由人群在街道上不斷聚集擴張
請尊重大地之母與她的給予之道
否則我們將賠掉子孫的未來
否則我們將賠掉子孫的未來
請尊重大地之母與她的治癒之道
否則我們將賠掉子孫的未來
