//Zumbie// by The Cranberries 中譯歌詞

 //Zumbie// by The Cranberries 

//寫在前面//

這首歌是 Zombie，由愛爾蘭樂團 The Cranberries 主唱 Dolores O'Riordan 創作。

歌曲背景與英國、愛爾蘭長年的暴力衝突有關，特別是在1993年兩名兒童於爆炸事件中喪生後寫下。歌中的「Zombie」並不是指真正的殭屍，而是在批判仇恨、暴力與麻木的人們，像失去靈魂般不斷重複衝突。

//Lyrics//

Another head hangs lowly

另一顆頭顱無力地低垂著

Child is slowly taken

孩子正一點一滴被奪走

And the violence caused such silence

暴力造成了令人窒息的沉默

Who are we mistaken?

究竟是誰犯了錯？

But you see, it's not me

但你知道，那不是我

It's not my family

那不是我的家人

In your head, in your head, they are fighting

在你腦海裡、腦海裡，戰火仍不停燃燒

With their tanks and their bombs

帶著坦克與炸彈

And their bombs and their guns

帶著炸彈與槍械

In your head, in your head they are crying

在你腦海裡、腦海裡，人們正在哭喊

In your head, in your head

在你腦海裡、腦海裡

Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie

像行屍走肉一般、麻木不仁

What's in your head, in your head?

你腦海裡到底裝著什麼？

Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh

麻木、瘋狂、失去靈魂的人啊

Another mother's breaking

另一位母親心碎崩潰

Heart is taking over

悲痛正徹底吞噬她

When the violence causes silence

當暴力讓一切陷入沉默

We must be mistaken

那我們一定是哪裡出了錯

It's the same old theme since 1916

自1916年以來，這老故事不停重演

In your head, in your head they're still fighting

在你腦海裡、腦海裡，他們依然在互相廝殺

With their tanks and their bombs

帶著坦克與炸彈

And their bombs and their guns

帶著炸彈與槍枝

In your head, in your head they are dying

在你腦海裡、腦海裡，人們不斷死去

//後記//

這首歌最震撼的地方，在於它不像單純的反戰歌曲，而是在質問：

為什麼人類會對暴力變得麻木？

「Zombie」其實是在形容那些被仇恨操控、失去思考與同理的人。
