Mockingbird 是仿聲鳥
以擅長模仿其他鳥類叫聲而聞名
為什麼這邊要用仿聲鳥呢?
其實Mockingbird是出自於一首
給小朋友聽的搖籃曲
這首搖籃曲的歌名叫 Hush Little Baby
“Hush little baby don’t say a word,
Mama’s going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don’t sing,
Mama’s going to buy you a diamond ring.”
“噓，小寶貝別說話，
媽媽會買一隻仿聲鳥給你。
如果仿聲鳥不唱歌了，
媽媽會買一枚鑽石戒指給你。”

文末小記
能聽到這首歌，也算是意外中的驚喜
當時是在翻Eminem阿姆的 Not Afraid
(👉艾咪的歌詞翻譯| Eminem – Not Afraid 無所畏懼| 戒毒後重返榮耀的阿姆 )
背景音樂就讓YouTube隨機撥放阿姆的歌曲
聽到這首Mockingbird的旋律時
心中突然一陣莫名的難過
特別回去看了MV
甚至還哭著重複看了好幾遍 (´;ω;`)
你們聽完後也有這種感覺嗎?
❤️ 要不要也聽聽?
