美国NASA(国家太空总署)今天发出消息, 他们将在二月四日美东时间7:00PM用电波将披头士的”Across The Universe”(穿越宇宙)这首歌发射到外太空. 下周一(二月四日)是这首歌发行的40周年纪念日, 而今年也是NASA的50周年诞辰.  同时也是美国探索者一号卫星进入外太空45周年的纪念年.  用他们的歌来纪念这些人类太空史, 披头士拥有绝对的殊荣.  难怪披头士成员之一的Paul McCartney 会说: "Amazing! Well done, NASA! Send my love to the aliens." (太奇妙了!做得好, NASA! 请把我的爱带给外星人). NASA亦或美国人对披头士一直都极为欣赏, 2005年他们也曾将披头士的另一首歌”Good Day Sunshine”传递到太空. 披头士的歌词和他们的曲子一样精彩和有内涵, "limitless undying love which/shines around me like a million suns."(爱的无限就像一百万个太阳围绕着我) 是”Across The Universe” 的其中一个精彩句子. 传播我们人类的挚爱, 期许能感动”外星人”似乎有点天真, 特别是是否有外星人的存在还是一个大大的问号. 可是为什么不呢? 如果有, 他们是否能从这首歌里感受我们对爱的追求? 是否也能和我一样成为披头士的粉丝? 期待着有一天我也能看到地球外的宇宙,宇宙中的外星人.  那时我会更确切地告诉我的两个宝贝”爱的无限犹如宇宙的浩瀚”.

Across The Universe (Lyrics)

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
