晚上在車上聽廣播,黎明柔的節目,播放了黑眼豆豆按歐巴馬的一場演講詞所譜寫的歌: Yes We Can.吉他聲與節奏振奮人心,Yes we can聲聲入耳讓人感到激勵.
我對歐巴馬沒有像對希拉蕊瞭解得多,我曾讀過希拉蕊的傳記,特別欣賞她為籌辦美國的全民健保所作的努力.有人說歐巴馬沒經驗,希拉蕊則歷練較多.不過也有人說事事要靠經驗恐怕將落入畏縮不前的死守傳統,因此歐巴馬才喊出We want change.
話又說回來,阿扁在二千年喊出的不也是”改變”的口號嗎?但如今呢?歐巴馬若能出馬或勝選,美國的改變與否,或往哪種方向改變還是未知數呢!
順便轉貼一下歌詞:
Artist: Will.I.Am
Song: Yes We Can (Barack Obama Song)
Lyrics:
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can. Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores
and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can. Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized;
women who reached for the ballots;
a President who chose the moon as our new frontier;
and a King who took us to the mountain-top and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
(yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can...)
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can. Si Se Puede
(yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can...)
We know the battle ahead will be long,
but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way,
nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We want change!
(We want change! We want change! We want change...)
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant.
We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check.
We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. We want change!
(We want change! I want change! We want change! I want change...)
The hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA;
we will remember that there is something happening in America;
that we are not as divided as our politics suggests;
that we are one people;
we are one nation;
and together, we will begin the next great chapter in America’s story with three words that will ring from coast to coast;
from sea to shining sea - Yes. We. Can.
(yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can...)
