「Wind flowers」！這個名字很熟悉嗎？「白頭翁」後來附帶的Youtube音樂聽起來很熟悉嗎？

Youtube影片底裡頭秀出來的花，有罌粟花！也有白頭翁！長相都好類似。因為在野地裡隨風搖曳的姿態加上豔麗的花色，吸引著人們的注意，所以都有著「Wind flowers」的別稱。

我們在學生時期初初聽到這歌的時候，蒼涼空靈，很受震撼。主調是吉他彈奏，歌詞多用唸的！當時以為是新型的鄉村音樂，並不知道原唱者是誰？

後來，齊秦和齊豫有把「Wind flowers」的歌翻唱一次，有療傷的效果，又是不同的感受。

「Wind flowers」的歌詞內容是爸爸告誡子女要注意的話語，如下， 請大家自己再感受一下吧！

﹡齊秦/齊豫的歌「Wind flowers」歌詞︰
Windflowers
my father told me not to go near them,
he said he feared them always,
and he told me that they carried him away.
Windflowers,
beautiful windflowers,
I couldn’t wait to touch them,
to smell them I held them closely,
and now I cannot break away ,
their sweet bouquet disppears,
like the vapor in the desert,
so take a warning,
son.
windflowers,
Ancient windflowers,
their beauty captures every young dreamer,
who lingers near them,
but Ancient windflowers,
I love you.




Windflowers，路邊的野花不要採，父親告誡子女要注意的，是花？是毒物？還是愛情？


註1：Windflowers is a song about poppy flowers. Among them is the famous Papaver somniferum, also known as opium poppy.

註2：poppy通常是罌粟花的俗稱，如 poppyseed就是罌粟花的種子；但是，因為“pop”或是“poppy”也是美語中（爸爸）的暱稱， 所以“poppy flowers”指罌粟花，也有一點點“爸爸告誡子女要注意的花”的意思嗎？
