從台灣聽世界-PIXNET

people have the power 民眾擁有力量 小毛20061103

1989年天安門學運，香港地下樂團「黑鳥」的主唱郭達年將龐克教母Patti Smith 詞曲的People Have the Power 這首歌中譯翻唱，收錄在「民眾擁有力量」的專輯裡。台灣由水晶唱片發行卡帶，珍藏至今，在身處誠實與說謊、進歩與空轉、廉潔與貪腐、獨立與統一之間掙扎的台灣島上再次聽起這首歌，實有無限感慨！【阿扁請你饒了台灣吧！請不要忽視人民的力量--給我立正站好！聽完這首歌】

People Have the Power

by Patti Smith

I was dreaming in my dreaming

of an aspect bright and fair

and my sleeping it was broken

but my dream it lingered near

in the form of shining valleys

where the pure air recognized

and my senses newly opened

I awakened to the cry

that the people / have the power

to redeem / the work of fools

upon the meek / the graces shower

it's decreed / the people rule

The people have the power

The people have the power

The people have the power

The people have the power

Vengeful aspects became suspect

and bending low as if to hear

and the armies ceased advancing

because the people had their ear

and the shepherds and the soldiers

lay beneath the stars

exchanging visions

and laying arms

to waste / in the dust

in the form of / shining valleys

where the pure air / recognized

and my senses / newly opened

I awakened / to the cry

Refrain

Where there were deserts

I saw fountains

like cream the waters rise

and we strolled there together

with none to laugh or criticize

and the leopard

and the lamb

lay together truly bound

I was hoping in my hoping

to recall what I had found

I was dreaming in my dreaming

god knows / a purer view

as I surrender to my sleeping

I commit my dream to you

Refrain

The power to dream / to rule

to wrestle the world from fools

it's decreed the people rule

it's decreed the people rule

LISTEN

I believe everything we dream

can come to pass through our union

we can turn the world around

we can turn the earth's revolution

we have the power

People have the power ...

郭達年的中譯版只有一個字能形容『讚』，請欣賞他的翻譯功力

民眾擁有力量People have the power 中譯：郭達年

在夢境裏 我在夢想 一個世界 公益光明

而此夢境 縱被打斷 但夢想 堅持不散

景像行見 野谷光芒 氣息清純 曾認見

與我感靈 新明啟思 對此呼喚 我覺醒

浩浩民眾 擁有力量 去挽救 愚者創傷

幾以寬忍 恩美臨降

以律令 民眾自管

民眾擁有力量！ 民眾擁有力量！

民眾擁有力量！ 民眾擁有力量！

仇恨之心 漸成疑惑 俯首低蹲 猶豫細聽

戰役士旅 止於侵進 正因民眾 有耳能聽

蕩蕩牧客 旅旅士兵 共躺對談 星辰下

互交心中 夢之景泰 讓軍械 棄置荒野

浩浩民眾 擁有力量 去挽救 愚者創傷

幾以寬忍 恩美臨降 以律令 民眾自管

故荒野地 我見泉源 水蓬勃 沫若昇起

我們共歨 朝之前行 無比嘲弄 無以批評

狰狰兇豹 爾爾羔羊 共躺雙雙 諧睦呈祥

在希望裏 我正希望 去億喚 我所發現

在夢境裏 我正夢想 誰知道那 完美景界

當我服膺 於我夢想 我將此夢 賦傳予您

有力量去夢想 去自管 自愚者手裏 奪回世界

以律令 民眾自管 以律令 民眾自管

我深信們所夢想 能透過團結去實現

我們能把世界挽回 能把大地革命重生

我們擁有力量 民眾擁有力量
