〈我們〉We Are
詩/馬雅.安傑洛 Maya Angelou
曲/鮑伯.契爾科特 Bob Chilcott
I note the obvious differences
in the human family.
Some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.
Some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.
The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.
I've sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I've seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.
I know ten thousand women
called Jane and Mary Jane,
but I've not seen any two
who really were the same.
Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.
We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.
We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.
I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.
在人類的大家庭中
我注意到些顯著的差異
有些人既嚴肅又正經
有些人天生就是開心果
有些人聲稱他們的一生
過得著實深刻難忘
其他人宣稱他們確實
只活在現實當下
各式各樣的膚色
讓我們感到既迷惘、困惑又喜悅
有褐色、粉色、米色、紫色的
還有黑色、青色和白色的
我曾航遍五湖四海
遊遍各個大陸
我見識了這世界的奇妙
卻還沒看過一個「普通的人」
我認識了一萬名女人
都叫做珍或瑪莉.珍
但我還沒看過有兩個
是真正一模一樣的呢
鏡象雙胞胎截然不同
儘管那些特徵很逗趣
當愛人們共枕入眠時
也懷抱著不同的思緒
我們在中國愛過、失去過
我們在英國的荒野上落淚
然後在幾內亞大笑、哭泣
在西班牙的海邊成長
我們在芬蘭力圖成功
我們在緬因州度過一生
近一步看,我們各異其趣
退一步看,我們都是相同的
在不同類型的人們當中
我注意到些顯著的差異
但,我的朋友,比起截然不同
我們更是相像
我的朋友啊,比起截然不同
我們更是相像
我的朋友啊,比起截然不同
我們更是相像
