昨天加了一首新歌“Down Under” 。大家都知道，[Down Under] 是[澳洲]的俗称，泛指跟澳洲有关的一切事物。尽管有些澳洲人不大喜欢这个说法，又是Down ，又是 Under 的，实在是晦气( 可谁叫澳洲地处南半球，看地图时，只有往下Down,在最Under之处才找得到她的芳踪 )；但是这首歌曲曾在80年代大受欢迎，雄踞排行榜冠军数周，得奖无数，成为西洋歌曲中响当当的流行经典。旋律新颖动听，歌词里的澳洲人又是那么的可爱，老澳们自己也都喜欢得不得了，哼唱时都会油然生出一种身为澳洲人的自豪感。

 

博主为啥忽然加上这首歌呢？

 

答案在梅梓的博客里，这首歌就是献给那对可爱的，来自澳洲的夫妇！

 

 

Traveling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man,

 "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under?

(oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
