今天要介紹的是這首Mr. Tembo，今天譯註 比較多所以直接在前面做一些背景說明～ Tembo在坦尚尼亞語是指大象，Mr. Tembo 是某次Damon和朋友去坦尚尼亞拜訪時農場 主人救援的一隻小象，這隻小象的媽媽因為 被獵人殺害之後，小象因此失去了庇護，所 以農場主帶他回家照顧，讓他住在一間小屋， 晚上農場主人回家的時候會開著電視，播放 著福音歌曲，小象還有一條灰色毛毯是農場 主人給他代替母親的安慰物。Injili在坦尚尼 亞文中是福音的意思，也就是來自上天的好 消息之意。 據Damon 在訪談說在他探訪時，他彈奏了 一小段音樂（就是這首歌的旋律）給小象聽 ，小象似乎對Damon很有興趣，用了他的鼻 子摸了他的臉好幾次，最後，小象他...拉肚 子了！就在Damon前面XDD 據他說那是小 朋友那種白白的便便（Damon你不用敘述那 麼詳細沒關係的）。可惜的是這頭小象Mr. Tembo已於2018年過世。 總之就是這樣，讓我們用這首歌來祝福地球 的其他生物吧～ 聽歌這邊走 https://youtu.be/ODG3VRkncBc 歌詞中文在這邊 Mr. Tembo 小象先生 Injili, Injili* Can I sing with you 'Bout Mr. Tembo and what he's got to do But first I'm going back To the Colworth Road To find the mission And help him with his lord 好消息，好消息 我能否跟你一起唱 關於Mr. Tembo 該怎辦 但首先我該回到 寇沃路 尋找佈道團 幫助他與上天重逢 Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill With only this song to tell you how he feels But to get there he will need a helping hand It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned Mr. Tembo往山丘前進 伴隨這唯一能告訴你他感受的歌 為了要到那裡 他需要一點幫助 他雖然在這 但並非是他打算的 Injili, Injili We will sing with you Just like the T.V In Mr. Tembo's room Off the emphatic night He checked in on his own At Mkombozi Inn and Made it his home 好消息，好消息 我們會和你一起唱 就像是那台電視 放在Mr. Tembo房間中 隔絕著堅實的黑夜 他獨自看著它 在Mkombozi客棧裡 作爲他唯一的家 Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill With only this song to tell you how he feels But to get there he will need a helping hand It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned Mr. Tembo往山丘前進 伴隨這唯一能告訴你他感受的歌 為了要到那裡 他需要一點幫助 他雖然在這 但並非是他打算的 他雖然在這 但並非是他打算的 Injili, Injili We will sing to you 'Bout Mr. Tembo And what he's going through Gets up early While you are still in bed Mr. Tembo, grey blanket by his head 好消息，好消息 我們會和你一起唱 關於Mr. Tembo 和他所經歷的一切 一早起床 當你還在睡夢中 Mr. Tembo 和他頭上灰色的毛毯 Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill With only this song to tell you how he feels But to get there he will need a helping hand It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned Mr. Tembo往山丘前進 伴隨這唯一能告訴你他感受的歌 為了要到那裡 他需要一點幫助 他雖然在這 但並非是他打算的 他雖然在這 但並非是他打算的 Hey, you keep those lions off the front of the boat!
