先補一下資訊,本次真正作為國際足總官方指定主題曲是 Shakira 的 「WAKAWAKA - This Time For Africa」,可是我比較愛非洲鼓。= =""所以去搜集了一下「Waving Flag」背景資訊,所有歌詞和影片都是在網路搜尋到的。這是很長的文章,因為被歌詞塞滿了。= =""
2010年世界足球賽主題曲是由索馬利亞裔加拿大歌手K'naan創作並演唱的《Wavin' Flag》,再補充地理資訊,索馬利亞是位於東非,一個超過 20 年內戰的國家。我在網路上找到的說是K'naan自小即因為內戰問題移居加拿大,長年作品多以呼籲停止暴力衝突為主,而這首作品,歌詞因表達了對向來被認定充滿戰爭、貧窮、落後的非洲熱愛、熱情、永不離棄的濃厚情感,因而被選中。聽的時候也會覺得有濃濃的非洲味道。
我在智利聖地牙哥捷運站看到的是這個版本,我也比較喜歡K'naan的獨唱版本。當時在捷運站裡這可是唯一讓我有完整看完的mv,而且我第一次聽就可以聽懂歌詞耶。歌詞是純英文的,和世足版本有區別。
Ooooooh Wooooooh
Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher
See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud
In the streets are, exaliftin , as we lose our inhabition,
Celebration its around us, every nations, all around us
Singin forever young, singin songs underneath that sun
Lets rejoice in the beautifull game.
And toghetter at the end of the day.

They'll call me freedom Just like a Waving' flag
And then it goes back

不過那時候聽以為是南美人,所以才播上面的那個版本,結果是加拿大籍,為什麼智利不播下面這個世足更熱鬧的版本呢?這個版本是由David Bisbal 與 K'naan 合作的。不過比較適合世足迷,超high的。主要歌詞是西文的。
歌詞:
Give me freedom
Give me fire
Give me reason
Take me higher
See the champions
Take the field now
You’ll be fighters
Make us feel proud
En las calles muchas manos
levantadas, celebrando
una fiesta sin descanzo
los paises como hermanos
Canta y une tu voz
grita fuerte que te escuche el sol
el partido ya va a comenzar
todos juntos vamos a ganar
Unidos!
Seremos grandes,
seremos fuertes
somos un pueblo
bandera de libertad
que viene y que va
que viene y que va
que viene y que va
when i get older
i will be stronger
they’ll call me freedom
just like a wavin flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
Danos vida
danos fuego
que nos lleve a lo alto
campeones o vencidos
pero unidos a internarlos
In the streets
are exalted people
as we lose our inhibitions
celebretion is around us
every nation all around us
Singing forever young, singins
songs underneath the sun
let’s rejoice to the beatuful game
and together at the end of day
Seremos grandes,
seremos fuertes
somos un pueblo
bandera de la libertad
que viene y que va
que viene y que va
que viene y que va
when i get older
i will be stronger
they’ll call me freedom
just like a wavin flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
Unidos!
Seremos grandes,
seremos fuertes
somos un pueblo
bandera de la libertad
when i get older
i will be stronger
they’ll call me freedom
just like a wavin flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
Now wave your flag
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
And everybody
will be singing…
其實這首歌原曲是下面的版本,一點都不high,可是有濃濃的人文關懷:
歌詞:
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho
stronger than rome
but violent prone
poor people zone
but its my home
all i have known
where i got grown
streets we would roam
i came the farthest
among the hardest survival
learn form these streets
it can be bleak
accept no defeet
surrender retreat
(so we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithful day
its not far away
but for now we say
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
settling scores
bringing us promises
leaving us poor
i heard them say
love is the way
love is the answer
that's what they say
make us believers
we fight there battles
then they deceive us
try to control us
they couldn't hold us
like buffalo soldiers
(but we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithfully day
it's not far away
but for now we say
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo
and you and i will be singing it
and we all will be singing it
wo wah wo ah wo ah
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
stronger they'll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
a oh a oh a oh
when i get older
i will be stronger
flag flag
just like a wavin flag
這個版本也在海地災害時被用來獻唱,可以看到這個版本,也很讓人感動:
歌詞:
[All]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin flag
[K'naan]
Born from a throne
Older than Rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone
[Nelly Furtado]
But it’s my home
All I have known
[Sam Roberts]
Where I got grown
but now its gone
[Avril Lavigne]
Out of the darkness
in came the carnage
threatening my very survival
[Pierre Bouvier of Simple Plan]
Fractured my streets
and broke all my dreams
[Tyler Connolly of Theory of a Deadman]
Feels like defeat to wretched retreat
[All]
So we strugglin’
[Kardinal Offishall]
Fighting to eat
[All]
And we wonderin’
[Kardinal Offishall]
If we’ll be free
[Jully Black]
We cannot wait for some faithful day
it’s too far away so right I’ll say
[All - Chorus]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a waving flag
(And then it goes back x3)
Ahhho ahhho ahhho
[Lights]
So many wars, settling scores
[Deryck Whibley of Sum 41]
All that we’ve been through
and now there is more
[Serena Ryder]
I hear them say love is the way
[Jacob Hoggard of Hedley]
Love is the answer that’s what they say
[Emily Haines]
But were not just dreamers
of broken down grievers
[Hawksley Workman]
A hand will reach us
And will not forsake us
[Drake]
This can’t control us
no it can’t hold us down
[Chin Injeti]
We gon pick it up even though we still struggling
[Pierre Lapointe]
Au nom de la survie (In the name of survival)
[all]
and we wondering
[Pierre Lapointe]
Battant pour nos vie (Fighting for our lives)
[All]
We patiently wait
for some other day
[Fefe Dobson and Esthero]
thats too far away so right now we say
[All - Chorus]
[Drake - Rapping]
Uhh – well alright
How come when the media stops covering
and there’s a little help from the government
we forget about the people still struggling
and assume that its really all love again, nahh
see we don’t have to wait for things to break apart
if you weren’t involved before it’s never too late to start
you probably think that it’s too far to even have to care
well take a look at where you live what if it happened there?
you have to know the urge to make a change lies within
and we can be the reason that they see their flag rise again

[Nikki Yanofsky & Drake]
When I get older
I will be stronger
They’ll call me freedom
Just like a wavin’ flag
[Matt Mays]
and then it goes back
[Justin Nozuka]
and then it goes back
[Nikki Yanofsky]
Then it goes back
[Chorus - All]
[Justin Bieber]
When I get older
When I get older
I will be stronger
just like a waving flag.
不管歌詞如何,都是世界大同的願望吧。:)
最後再補一下中文版本,主唱是張靚穎和張學友,中間有插入K'naan的聲音,中文名是《旗開得勝》,詞是李焯雄填的,不過我覺得張學友還是唱情歌比較對我的胃口。中文就不貼歌詞了。
