Baby, today I heard this song 「Leningrad(列寧格勒)」, it was so sad, fortunately, we were not met in that time.

 

 

 

There she stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time

And the memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war

For the girl in the photograph, much had changed in the years that passed

But her longing for the boy she loved was still the same since the war

It was a moonless night upon the road of life, when he'd held her to say goodbye

Many more would survive, for he stayed behind to help them live again

When they met at the garden gate, tears would fall from a deep embrace

 

For she never knew what happened to the boy she loved in the war

Back in those happy days, before the soldiers came

To break down the ones who remained

And they only survived, who could learn to die, and live to fight again

There they stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time

And their memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war.

 

 

Chris De Burgh愛爾蘭人，從小隨著外交官父親過著周遊列國的生活，他熱愛自己的國家與堅持反戰的心情充分流露在他的歌曲中，「Leningrad」只是其中一首，另外像「Lebanese Night」、「Borderline」和「Crusader」都是經典之作。

 

Chris De Burgh才華洋溢，他創作的題材包羅萬象，有愛情（The Lady in Red）、親情（The Son and the Father、For Rosanna）、情感（A Spaceman Came Travelling、Missing You、Last Night、Show of the Mountain、Snow is Falling）等，有太多太多好聽的歌曲介紹不完！認識了魚，才真正認識了許多搖滾樂團，像Led Zepplin、Deep Purple、Pink Floyd、Neil Young、Queen、Santana、Fleetwood Mac、The Police、Scorpions、ELO、Heart….等，還有好多好多優秀的團體，而最好聽的搖滾歌曲在70-80年代，我深感認同！
