愛歌~99個紅氣球原來是個恐怖的故事歌



小時候
覺得這首歌好好聽
於是聽了幾百次
但從來不知道她在唱什麼
只聽得懂九十九個紅氣球
九十九個紅氣球


後來聽到了Bjork的版本,興起找了歌詞.
原來是個徳文歌
太紅了所以有了英文版,
歌詞純真又殘酷,說了個驚天動地的故事,卻輕飄飄的用氣球來表示

小朋友想買氣球來放生
飛到空中讓空中偵查的儀器誤判為武器
九十九個草菅人命的國防機關裡面
九十九個笨蛋開了會決定反擊
九十九個飛官上空
咻咻砰砰
找不到原來的城市因為地上只剩塵土
想找點東西證明你曾經存在
只有一個紅氣球飄過來
又飄走

生命中不能承受的輕的另一例證
美到聽了八次還是欲罷不能

繼續聽聽



99 red balloons
Nena
 
You and I in a little toy shop
buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message,"Something's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
99 red balloons go by.

99 red balloons
floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here
from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Where 99 red balloons go by.

99 Decision Street,
99 ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waited for
This is it boys, this is war
The president is on the line
As 99 red balloons go by.

99 Knights of the air 
ride super-high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a Silverhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify (no with)
To clarify and classify
Scramble in the summer sky
As 99 red balloons go by. (沒聽她唱as)
As 99 red balloons go by. (same as above)

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon (again省掉in)
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenier (if....不見)
Just to prove the world was here...

And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go.


愛歌~
