1989动地吟 诗集 5/6 : 广西民歌

〈山歌不唱 愁多〉  广西民歌

雷振邦编曲

山 歌 不唱 愁 多
大路 不平 草成窝
钢 刀 不 磨 生 黄 锈
胸 膛 不 挺 背 要 驼


1989动地吟 诗集 6

〈YOU'VE GOT TO DO MORE THAN THAT〉

  You've got to do more than that (2)
  For sympathising is all very well
  But You've got to do more than that
I think when I see all those picture about
Of children without any food
How hard it must be for their mothers at home
Who just don't know what to do
With children so thin and their ribs sticking out
Atremble to think what starvation is like
And I do try to sympathise

The men with the truncheons and helmets are out
They're chartging to break up a mob
Of people whose skins are just coloured a bit
And all they want is a job
It's only for whites that's the sign they put up
But it is'nt really their land
Equality is such a diffcult word
But I do try to understand

You've got to do more than that (2)
For understanding is all very well
But You've got to do more than that
