    [先进"性"教育 ( Demo-cratic China Blog Ⅱ )] BLOOD IS ON THE SQUARE

    Philip Morgan

      A song was heard in China
      in the city of Beijing.
      In the spring of 1989
      you could hear the people sing.
      And it was the song of freedom
      that was ringing in the square,
      the world could feel the passion of
      the people gathered there.

      Oh children, blood is on the square.

      For many nights and many days,
      waiting in the square.
      "To build a better nation"
      was the song that echoed there.
      "For we are China’s children,
      we love our native land,
      for brotherhood and freedom
      we are joining hand in hand."

      Oh children, blood is on the square.

      Then came the People’s army
      with trucks and tanks and guns.
      The government was frightened
      of their daughters and their sons.
      But in the square was courage and
      a vision true and fair,
      the Army of the People would not harm
      the young ones there.

      Oh children, blood is on the square.

      On June the 3rd in China,
      in the spring of ’89,
      an order came from high above
      and passed on down the line.
      The soldiers opened fire,
      young people bled and died,
      the blood of thousands on the square
      that lies can never hide.

      Oh children, blood is on the square.

      For four more days of fury
      the people faced the guns.
      How many thousands slaughtered
      when their grisly work was done?
      they quickly burned the bodies
      to hide their coward’s shame,
      but blood is thick upon their hands and
      darkness on their names.

      Oh children, blood is on the square.

      There are tears that flow in China
      for her children that are gone.
      There is fear and there is hiding,
      for the killing still goes on.
      And the iron hand of terror can
      buy silence for today,
      but the blood that lies upon the square
      cannot be washed away.

      Oh children, blood is on the square.

    [先进"性"教育 ( Demo-cratic China Blog Ⅱ )] 歌曲《历史的伤口》

    在音乐以内:这是一首和《明天会更好》齐名的合唱曲,但是听过的人寥寥无几。台湾的那一辈歌手与其说是歌手,倒不如说他们的骨子里更有文人的特质。他们是在用音乐表达自己,述说感想,也只有这样的音乐才能被称为是音乐。这首歌被收录在滚石的一张合辑《战争与和平——美丽新世界》中。

      在音乐以外:我对政治冷漠,所以不可思议之余,决定不动声色,看何时何人能够发出异声。沉默并不等于装聋作哑,心里的声音总是与作为一个人的基本良知同在。这首歌的背景请大家自己去找,“一群台湾音乐人为此而作。如果你老到已经记忆模糊了,或还年轻到不知道我说的是什么事件,我恳切地希望您,好好地去搜寻一下,这是一个有关民族命运的故事。”先生有句话说:“石在,火种是不会灭的”。不论此时此际境地如何,希望更多的人了解这首歌以及歌声背后的人心、人性,当是心里轻轻燃烧着的,从不曾熄灭的热火。
          
      历史的伤口
      蒙上眼睛就以为看不见,
      捂上耳朵就以为听不到;
      而真理在心中,创痛在胸口,
      还要忍多久,还要沉默多久。
      如果热泪可以洗净尘埃,
      如果热血可以换来自由,
      让明天能记得今天的怒吼,
      让世界都看到,历史的伤口。
