Under Southern Skies
Nikki Webster
There's a peace in our hearts and a hope in our hands
We're a family of children. We come from many different lands
Our time is just beginning, our race is yet to run
But if you will take us with you then we have already won
Under the southern skies together in this land
Every voice in celebration, a family hand in hand
Under the southern skies as one we rise and turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony
There's a great spirit rising from the desert to the sea
As it sweeps across this southern land
It calls to you and me. Where the dreamers are the dreaming
We're the fates of things yet to come,
Every child can be a hero if our world could live as one
Under the southern skies together in this land
Every voice in celebration, a family hand in hand
Under the southern skies as one we rise and turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony (Repeat 3 times)
All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony
十、Oceania:2004年雅典奥运会主题歌
2004年雅典奥运会主题歌《海洋》的演唱者是冰岛歌手比约克(Bjork)。她被称作世界乐坛最另类的前卫歌手、拥有“天籁之音”冰岛的国宝,无论曲风,还是行为,她都以怪诞和特立独行著称。11岁,比约克就推出了个人专辑《比约克》,之后赢得无数的大奖及空前的争议。2000年,她因主演电影《黑暗中的舞者》成为戛纳电影节的影后。
Oceania
Bjork
One breath away from mother oceania
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
You have done good for yourselves
since you left my wet embrace and crawled ashore
Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side. Children sublime
You show me continents. I see islands
You count the centuries. I blink my eyes
hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating across the sky
little ones, my sons and my daughters
your sweat is salty, I am why, I am why, I am why
your sweat is salty, I am why, I am why, I am why
十一、A thousand year:2004年雅典奥运会歌曲
《A thousand year》收录于《Unity -2004雅典奥运官方专辑》中,这首歌曲的演唱者Sting(斯汀)被当今乐坛冠以诗人歌手的美名,凭借那独一无二的沙哑又不失细腻的嗓音,始终如自由不羁的云,荡漾于缈缈的空中。
Sting的独唱事业开始于The Police解散前的1982年,1985年,Sting出版了首张个人专辑《蓝海龟之梦》,相比之下,这张专辑的歌词显得比The Police时期的作品更富智慧。这张专辑中还有“爱他就给他自由”、“心的要塞”和“俄国人”等多首歌畅销一时。
从80年代末开始,Sting经常涉足政界,用进行巡回演出的款项来资助印第安人争取生活的自由。进入90年代以来,Sting多次获得葛莱美大奖,成为全球最有影响的艺人之一。
A thousand year-千年 (2004年雅典奥运专辑歌曲)
A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of souls
If it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
I may be numberless, I may be innocent
I may know many things, I may be ignorant
Or I could ride with kings and conquer many lands
Or win this world at cards and let it slip my hands
I could be cannon food, destroyed a thousand times
Reborn as fortune's child to judge another's crimes
Or wear this pilgrim's cloak, or be a common thief
I've kept this single faith, I have but one belief
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head
On and on the mysteries unwind themselves
Eternities still unsaid
Till you love me
十二、Knockin' On Heaven's Door:艾薇儿演唱的奥运歌曲
加拿大21岁的摇滚小魔女与奥运会的缘分始于2004年的雅典。当时,凭借《Let go》专辑一炮成名的艾薇儿和南非前总统曼德拉、意大利盲人歌唱家安德烈-波伽利、身残志坚的“老超人”克里斯托弗-李维一道成为雅典奥运会全球形象大使。
“不管你来自何处,你的家人是谁,不管你怎么穿或是你数学有多好,最重要的是你付出你所得到的一切,对我来说,这就是我的奥林匹克摇滚精神。”艾薇儿在雅典奥运会广告片中宣传的奥运理念就是“Play”。这个朋克精灵有着天使般甜美的面孔和穿透力甚强的嗓音,在舞台上也是各种乐器样样都通,她能敲响雅典奥运的大门,是不是也会献声2008年北京奥运会呢?让我们拭目以待。
Knockin' On Heaven's Door -敲响天堂之门(2004年雅典奥运会歌曲)
Mama take this badge from me
I can t use it anymore
It s getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I m knockin on heaven s door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can t shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin down
Feels like I m knockin on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door
You just better start sniffin your own
rank subjugation jack cause it s just you
against your tattered libido, the bank and
the mortician, forever man and it wouldn t
be luck if you could get out of life alive *
Knock-knock-knockin on heaven s door
妈妈,摘掉我的徽章
因为我再也用不着它
我正逐渐坠入黑暗,暗的无法视物
我感觉自己好像正在敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
妈妈把我的枪放到地上
因为我再也不能用枪射击
那浓重的乌云正笼头照下
我感觉自己好像正在敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
敲响、敲响、敲响天堂之门
