Fire On The Mountain
这歌的感觉很简单，
一支吉他，
一口原始的非洲腔，风土味很重.
令你不其然跟著衬底那强劲的节奏.
我可是特地选CD版的
这收音机版本带点模煳的效果.主唱的名字是很奇怪的，
不过没法，
她是出生于巴黎的尼日利亚藉女歌手，
两岁的时候就随父母回尼日利亚了，尼日利亚在非洲西部，
是全非洲人口最多的国家，
主产石油，
石油出口量佔全球第五，但你知道吗 ?
它同时是全世界第二个最穷的国家，
主要原因是内战频繁。于是我们都可以理解为什麽asa可以写出这样的歌。
歌曲的第二段我听了心可以真的颤了一颤，
歌词很白，白描的方式表达了人类是如何无情，
我最怕就是这种方法道出来，
有种”哀大莫过于心死”的感觉。听的时候你会总觉得她唱得怪怪的，
就是咬字方面，
不过这也是吸引我的地方，没有反感，
只有可爱的曲风和演译，
就像她的国家一样
歌词 lyrics
There is fire on the mountain,
and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
and no one is’ah running.
I wake up in the morning…
tell you what I see on my TV screen :
I see the blood of an innocent child,
and everybody’s watching.
Now, I’m looking out of my window,
and what do I see ?
I see an army of soldiers that’re
marching across the street, heh…
What did they say to make you so blind,
to your conscience and reason ?
Could it be love for your country,
or for the gun you use in killing ? So…
There is fire on the mountain,
and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
and no one is’ah running.
Heh, Mister Loverman !
Can I get a chance to talk to you ?
’cause you are fooling with a dead man’s corpse,
and you don’t know what you do. Oh…
So little Lucy turns sixteen,
and like the movie she’s been seeing,
she has a lover in her daddy.
She can’t tell nobody…
’till she makes the evening news.
For there is fire on the mountain,
and nobody seems to be on the run.
Oh there is fire on the mountain top,
and no one is’ah running. Oh yes.
One day the river will overflow,
and there’ll be nowhere for us to go ;
and we will run, run…
wishing we had put out the fire, oh no…
