Don't Dream It's Over／春夢 了無痕

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over (1986)

來自澳洲的 Crowded House (斗室合唱團)於1985年錄製、1986年發表並上榜的「Don't Dream It's Over」，溫暖的旋律襯托著鼓勵人心的語意，聽起來令人總有股飄在半空中，或如歌詞所言「站在那待修的屋頂上」一般，應有所為卻猶豫不決的遲疑。

英國知名歌手 Paul Young (保羅‧楊)與來自德州的樂團 Sixpence None The Richer (蓮兒與啷噹六便士合唱團)分別在1991年及2003年翻唱過。同樣一首歌曲透過不同歌者的詮釋，各自發展岀極具韻味的風格，不論你喜歡哪一個版本，它的精神意義，都是不變的...

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over (1986)

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

有時擁有自由
有時失去自由
即使掙扎地想留住紙杯裡的波濤
有場戰爭即將開打
有多場戰役已經戰敗
但你永遠看不到路的盡頭
當你與我同遊

嘿！嘿！春夢了無痕哪
當世界向你靠近
人們在你我之間築起一道牆
我們都很清楚他們不會得逞

我正拖著車子
屋頂上有個破洞
我的財產使我起了疑心病
卻又沒有證據
今天報紙上有戰爭傷亡的報導
你卻翻過去看影劇版

此刻，我再度隨著鼓聲前進
默數著從門口走到你心裡的步伐
只有前面的影子可以清理屋頂
前提是必須了解自由與解脫的感覺

嘿！嘿！春夢了無痕哪
當世界向你靠近
人們在你我之間築起一道牆
我們知道他們是不會得逞的
