Doo be doo

In the album of Nomvula, Freshlyground

Did you hear the news on the radio today
People have agreed to give their love away
I can't wait to be there in line
Politicians have agreed to honour and obey
They'll come down and listen to what people say
Children will play in the streets loving everyone they meet
open heart will be the rhythm of the day
Neighbours will greet each other, sisters and their brothers,
even enimies will come to be friends
I can't wait to be there in line
If you are ready feel free to come around
If you are ready, Vem ca amigo, irei levar-te la,
Say you want to live and love in kindness everyday
say you know the meaning of lvoe
See every peson that you meet as every you and every me,
and then I'll know you feel the rhythm of love
I can't wait to be there in line, no no!


這首歌詞看起來不過是人們互愛.. 很老掉牙的東西. 但在看完Rian Malan寫的, 關於南非的血腥屠殺故事之後, 會對這首歌的歌詞有種特別的感覺.. 知道 "reconciliation" 在南非真的是一件偉大而艱難的事. 國家地理雜誌有篇相關的報導: City of hope, city of fear, Johannesburg.

還有一些關於Rian Malan故事裏的故事, 關於那本書的結局, 有空時我還要去告訴眾人的.. 偉大而不凡的故事.. 以後你們就會聽到, 感覺到的故事.
