(Nina Simone)
To be young, gifted and black,
Oh what a lovely precious dream
To be young, gifted and black,
Open your heart to what I mean
In the whole world you know
There are billion boys and girls
Who are young, gifted and black,
And that’s a fact!
You are young, gifted and black
We must begin to tell our young
There’s a world waiting for you
This is a quest that’s just begun
When you feel really low
Yeah, there’s a great truth you should know
When you’re young, gifted and black
Your soul’s intact
Young, gifted and black
How I long to know the truth
There are times when I look back
And I am haunted by my youth
Oh but my joy of today
Is that we can all be proud to say
To be young, gifted and black
Is where it’s at
很不錯聽耶!! 我要來找找，台灣買不買得到
回覆刪除這歌最近重新受人關注，原因當然是那位young gifted and black候任美國總統。
回覆刪除Obama當選那晚，我在台灣新聞頻道看他的當選演說，看見百萬人群聚集廣場流淚歡呼，心中十分感動。希望這位背負百年期待，young gifted and black的年青總統能不負這許多人的盼望。
回覆刪除Nina Simone唱來自信有力，果然好聽啊!
Nina Simone唱歌，有自信，有狠勁，絕不溫溫吞吞。所以我說，她是人中豪傑。
回覆刪除希望4年或8年後，大家都說，Obama真是人中豪傑！
