紅旗下的蛋

一陣子沒好好逛網站,昨天才知道崔健終於到台灣搖滾了!
久聞「中國搖滾教父 – 崔健」的大名,聽過那首歷史經典「一無所有」,的確是好聽,但或許那時年紀小,沒有累積,對崔健的歌總覺得沒有情感的連結,也就沒有辦法真心欣賞。昨天第一次連結了,聽到 2007 青島演唱實況的「紅旗下的蛋」,崔健有力地念著歌詞,隨著劉元薩克斯風的響起,我感覺脈內血液沸騰了起來,整個人興奮不已,聽了一遍又一遍,就這麼狂沸了一整個晚上,崔健的現場真是充滿了力量。
﹝靠,從沒想過薩克斯風跟搖滾樂會這麼麻吉!﹞
I haven’t surfed the websites for a while. That’s why I didn’t know that Cui Jian has finally rocked in the 8th Gongliao Hohaiyan Music Festival in Taiwan until yesterday.
Cui Jian is well-known as the father of Chinese rock ‘n’ roll. The classic song, “Nothing to My Name (一無所有)”, has excited lots of Chinese young minds since 1986, especially during the Tianamen Square protests of 1989. I did think his song is great and characterized. However, maybe I was too young to understand at that time. I didn’t get the affectional connection; therefore, I didn’t really appreciate his music. I am glad that I get the chance to listen to his music again and this time I do connect to it. The song called “Eggs under the Red Flag (紅旗下的蛋)” was recorded in a live performance in Qingdao on 6/22/2007. At the beginning, Cui Jian was reading the lyric. His voice was so passionate and convincing that just woke me up. When the sound of saxophone joined, I felt that my heart beats increased and my blood was rushing. I was so excited that I kept listening to it all night long. I got to say that Cui Jian’s live is unbelievably powerful.
(Damn, I never thought that saxophone and rock ‘n’ roll could be so matched!)

突然的開放
實際並不突然
現在機會到了
可誰知道該干什麼
紅旗還在飄揚
沒有固定方向
革命還在繼續
老頭兒更有力量
錢在空中飄蕩
我們沒有理想
雖然空氣新鮮
可看不見更遠地方
雖然機會到了
可膽量還是太小
我們的個性都是圓的
像紅旗下的蛋
頭突然出來
是多年的期待
挺胸抬頭叫喊
是天生的遺傳
心裡當然明白
我們是誰的後代
無論行為好壞
內心還是清白
權力在空中飄蕩
經常打在肩上
突然一個念頭
不再跟著別人亂走
雖然身體還軟
雖然只會叫喊
看那八九點鐘的太陽
像紅旗下的蛋
肚子已經吃飽了
腦子也想開了
別說這是恩情
永遠報答不盡
我們不再是棋子兒
走著別人劃的印兒
自己想試著站站
走起來四處看看
現實像個石頭
精神像個蛋
石頭雖然堅硬
可蛋才是生命
媽媽仍然活著
爸爸是個旗桿子
若問我們是什麼
紅旗下的蛋
﹝上一次這麼沸騰是聽到交工「菊花夜行軍」2001/4/14 在台大活動中心的現場錄音,這裡聽去﹞
