超愛 Chris de Burgh 這位史詩吟唱歌手,在專科唸書時,第一張入手的是他 1979 年發行的 Crusader  (十字軍東征) 專輯, 就開始喜歡他那種有點沙啞又敘述故事的音樂風格,到後來的 Lady in Red, The girl with April in her eyes, Borderline (齊豫好像曾經翻唱過), She means everything to me, Sailing Away...


這支 Youtube 上的 MV 說實在做的蠻爛的,不過好像是唯一 Chris 原唱還能看的一支MV. A spaceman came traveling 暗喻耶穌基督的誕生,但更多的是這首音樂帶給人的感動,Chris De Burgh 的歌總是能把場景畫面和故事描繪的非常清晰,讓人彷彿看到那個黎明拂曉前的村莊,聽到耳邊環繞不停的詩歌般動人音樂。



---------------------------------------------------------------------


A spaceman came traveling on his ship from afar


'Twas light years of time since his mission did start


And over a village he halted his craft


And it hung in the sky like a star


Just like a star ........


 


He followed a light and came down to a shed


Where a mother and child were lying there on a bed


A bright light of silver shone round his head


And he had the face of an angel


And they were afraid ........


 


Then the stranger spoke


He said" Do not fear


I come from a planet a long way from here


And I bring a message for mankind to hear"


And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air ........


 


And it went la la ........


Peace and goodwill to all men


And love for the child ........


 


This lovely music went trembling through the ground


And many were wakened on hearing that sound


And travelers on the road


The village they found by the light of that ship in the sky


Which shone all around ........


 


And just before dawn


At the paling of the sky


The stranger returned and said " Now I must fly


When two thousand years of your time has gone by


This song will begin once again, to a baby's cry "


 


And it went la la ........


This song will begin once again


To a baby's cry ........


And it goes la la ........


Peace and goodwill to all men


And love for the child ........


 


Oh, the whole world is waiting


Waiting to hear the song again


There are thousands standing on the edge of the world


And a star is moving somewhere


The time is nearly here


This song will begin once again


To a baby's cry ........


從祂開始執行任務算起,那已是好幾光年以前
在一個村莊上空,祂停住了太空船
像一顆星懸在空中
就像一顆星 ........

隨著亮光,祂降落在一間小屋前面
裡頭有個母親和孩子正睡在床上
祂的頭上閃耀著明亮的銀色光芒
祂有著天使般的臉龐
但她們感到十分害怕 ........

然後這位陌生人說話了
祂說:「不要怕,
    我來自離這裡很遠的星球,
    我給人類帶來了一些訊息。」
突然間,空中充滿了甜美的音樂 ........

音樂唱著:啦啦啦 ........
「和平與好運給全人類
愛給孩子們 ........

美麗的音樂震動了大地
很多人因為聽到音樂而醒來
趕路的旅行者
循著天上太空船的光芒找到這個村莊
光芒照耀四周 ........

天將破曉以前
在天空的白光中
陌生人回來了,說:「我得走了,
當你們的時間過了兩千年,
這首歌將再度響起,在嬰兒的哭聲中。」

它唱著:啦啦啦 ........
這首歌將再度響起
在嬰兒的哭聲中 ........
它唱著:啦啦 ........
和平與好運給全人類
愛給孩子們

噢,全世界都在期待
期待再次聽見這首歌
成千上萬的人們佇立在世界的邊緣
有一顆星子在某處移動
時刻即將到來
這首歌將再度響起
在嬰兒的哭聲中 ........
