I'd like to dedicate this one to all the women in South Africa --

譯者: Jeff Chang 審譯者: Adrienne Lin

those women who refused to dwindle in the midst of apartheid.

我想把這首歌獻給南非所有的婦女--

And, of course, I'm dedicating it also to my grandmother,

特別是那些拒絕在種族隔離中式微的女性。

whom I think really played quite a lot of important roles,

當然，這首歌也要特別獻給我的奶奶，

especially for me when I was an activist, and being harassed by the police.

她在我的一生中扮演了相當重要的角色，

You will recall that in 1976, June 16, the students of South Africa boycotted

尤其是在我身為激進份子而備受警察騷擾的那段期間。

the language of Afrikaans as the medium of the oppressor,

你們大概都還記得在1976年6月16號，南非的學生聯合抵制

鎮壓者強迫把南非荷蘭語作為溝通的媒介。

that they must do everything in Afrikaans --

biology, mathematics -- and what about our languages?

一定要用南非荷蘭語來學習任何課程--

And the students wanted to speak to the government,

如生物，數學-- 那我們自身的語言該如何生存呢?

So every year, June 16, we will commemorate

因此，每年的6月16號，我們都會紀念

And I was very young then. I think I was 11 years,

回想起當時，我還很小，大概才11歲，

and that's when my political education started.

正是對任何事物感到好奇的時候，

And I joined, later on, the youth organization

So as part of organizing this and whatever,

this commemoration, the police will round us up

when I know that maybe the police might be coming

And indeed, the police came -- because they'll just arrest us

這裡就是你的家，就好好待在這裡。」

and put us in jail and release us whenever they feel like, after the 20th or so.

那晚，警察果真又來了。因為他們總是任意地逮捕我們，

So it was on the 10th of June, and they came, and they surrounded the house,

關進牢裡，然後大約又在6月20號以後釋放我們。

and my grandmother switched off all the lights in the house,

那晚是6月10號，警察來了，把我家包圍起來，

And she said to them, "Vusi's here, and you're not going to take him tonight.

I'm tired of you having to come here, harassing us,

她對他們說:「伍斯今晚在家，不過你們別想把他帶走，

while your children are sleeping peacefully in your homes.

我真的受夠了你們跑來這裡來騷擾我們，

He is here, and you're not going to take him.

而你們的孩子確能在家裡睡得這麼安穩。

I've got a bowl full of boiling water -- the first one who comes in here, gets it."

他今晚就在這，但你們別想逮捕他。

我已經準備好滿滿一盆滾燙的開水，誰先進來，我就潑向誰。」

那晚他們就只好灰頭土臉的走了。

♫ Should I now stop singing of love, ♫

♫ Sister, why oh why do we at times mistake a pimple for a cancer? ♫

♫ So who are they who says, no more love poems now? ♫

♫姊妹們，為何我們時常的把粉刺誤認為癌症?♫

♫是誰在嘆息再也沒有歌頌愛的詩歌?♫

♫ for that woman who jumped the fences pregnant ♫

♫ and still gave birth to a healthy child. ♫

♫獻給那位懷著身孕仍跳下柵欄的婦女♫

♫ Softly I walk into the sun rays of the smile ♫

♫ that will ignite my love song, my song of life, ♫
