Lebanese Nights
Mazikana Elissa & Chris De Burgh
这首Lebanese Nights 黎巴嫩之夜
是由有着“黎巴嫩寶石”之称的Elissa
与有“爱尔兰歌神”之誉的Chris De Burgh
合作的一曲名动天下的之作……
這首感人的歌曲描述了一位歐洲遊客
愛上一位黎巴嫩女人的感人故事
歌曲中，黎巴嫩女人向歐洲遊客
講述了戰爭中她那美麗的家園
講述了甜蜜的搖籃曲和深夜的槍聲
是怎樣一起進入她的睡夢
她想在田野裡翩翩起舞
卻不得不在戰火中奪路而逃
從那由天而降的地獄中逃生
歌曲中的黎巴嫩女人說
我的生命是一個和平不能到達的地方
戰爭中的孩子們什麼都沒有

It was late in a Lebanese restaurant
in the heat of a Lebanese night
There was dancing, people were singing
She came in from the garden outside
And in her eyes I saw the stars
And I felt something happen in my heart
Then I knew I was going to meet her
in the heat of a Lebanese night
And the girl inside the woman
who came over to sit by my side
And when she smiled
the whole world stopped
It was then I heard the echoes of a child
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
And the sound of the guns in the night
And did you dance in the fields
did you run for your life
From the hell that came down from the sky
On a Lebanese night
on a Lebanese night

We went down to the edge of the water
by the light of a Lebanese dawn
And she told me all the stories
of her beautiful land in the war
Her tears fell down, the sun came up
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes

有着“黎巴嫩寶石”之称的
黎巴嫩流行樂壇天后Elissa
在中東可謂是家喻戶曉的巨星
她以美麗性感的外表和動人的嗓音
征服了阿拉伯世界、印度次大陸
非洲大部分地區以及地中海沿岸國家
是中東情歌的代名詞

On a Lebanese night
on a Lebanese night

由於持續不斷的戰爭
大批黎巴嫩人被迫離鄉背井
到國外謀生
而Elissa便是在流亡中長大
居住在埃及
黎巴嫩境内形成了
海外人口比國内人口更多的奇怪現象
而当黎巴嫩局勢稍微穩定
生活開始走向正軌时
Elissa便决定回國為家鄉人演唱
首场演唱原於黎巴嫩的貝鲁特舉行
黎巴嫩人因此欣喜若狂
提前一個月就搶購了全部門票
黑市價更翻了十幾倍
但就在黎巴嫩歌迷翹首以盼自己的偶像時
演唱會的前兩天
一連串轟炸将黎巴嫩重新陷入戰火
演唱会被迫中止
而此时的Elissa
正在前往貝鲁特的郵輪上
放聲痛哭

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby
And the sound of the guns in the night
And did you dance in the fields
did you run for your life
From the hell that came down from the sky
On a Lebanese night
on a Lebanese night
on a Lebanese night

on a Lebanese night
I will be waiting
in the Lebanon
