Yellow River

Yellow River
很喜歡這首歌，部份是它輕快的節拍，更重要的是它的歌詞。這首歌是描寫當時在打仗的年輕士兵就快可以回家時的心情，很感情化的描述他對家鄉的響往及各樣事物的想念，說出對打仗的無奈及為自己沒被炮火打死而興幸。我跟其他留學生放假在宿舍沒有地方去聽時特別有一番意義，如今聽來還有一絲絲的哀念。


So long, boy, you can take my place
I got my papers, I got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be on my way to Yellow River

Put my gun down, the war is won
Fill my glass high, the time has come
I'm goin' back to the place that I love Yellow River

Yellow River, Yellow River is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow River, Yellow River is in my blood, it's the place that I love

Got no time for explanations, got no time to lose
Tomorrow night you'll find me sleepin' underneath the moon 
And Yellow River

Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time from Yellow River

I remember the nights were cool
I can still see the water pool
And I remember the girl that I knew from Yellow River
