WATCHING TV - ROGER WATERS

WATCHING TV - ROGER WATERS

We were watching TV
In Tiananmen Square
Lost my baby there
My yellow rose
In her bloodstained clothes
She was a short order pastry chef
In a Dim Sum dive on the Yangtze tideway
She had a shiny hair
She was a daughter of an engineer
Won't you shed a tear
For my yellow rose
My yellow rose
In her bloodstained clothes
She had a perfect breasts
She had high hopes
She had almond eyes
She had yellow thighs
She was a student of philosophy
Won't you grieve with me
For my yellow rose
Shed a tear
For her bloodstained clothes
She had shiny hair
She had perfect breasts
She had almond eyes
She had yellow thighs
She was a daughter af an engineer
So get out your pistols
Get out your stones
Get out your knives
Cut them to the bone
They are the lackeys of the grocer's machine
They built the dark satanic mills
That manufacture hell on earth
They bought the front row seats on Calvary
They are irrelevant to me
And I grieve for my sister
People of China
Do not forget do not forget
The children who died for you
Long live the Republic
Did we do anything after this
I've feeling we did
We were watching TV
Watching TV
We were watching TV
Watching TV
She wore a white bandanna that said
Freedom now
She thought the Great Wall of China
Would come tumbling down
She was a student
Her father was an engineer
Won't you shed a tear
For my yellow rose
My yellow rose
In her bloodstained clothes
Her grandpa fought old Chiang Kai-shek
That no-good low-down dirty rat
Who used to order his troops
To fire on women and children
Imagine that imagine that
And in the spring of'48
Mao Tse-tung got quite irate
And he kicked that old dictator Chiang
Out of the state of China
Chiang Kai-shek came down in Formosa
And they armed the island of Quemoy
And the shells were flying across the China Sea
And they turned Formosa into a shoe factory
Called Taiwan
And she is different from Cro-Magnon man
She's different from Anne Boleyn
She is different from the Rosenbergs
And from the unknown Jew
She is different from the unknown Nicaraguan
Half superstar half victim
She's a victor star conceptually new
And she is different from the Dodo
And from the Kankabono
She is different from the Aztec
And from the Cherokee
She's everybody's sister
She's a symbolic of our failure
She's the one in fifty million
Who can help us to be free
Because she died on TV
And I grieve for my sister

: 我們在看電視 看電視
: 我們在看電視 看電視
: 在天安門廣場 在那裏失去了我的孩子們
: 我的黃玫瑰 在她沾血的衣服中
: 她過去是個糕點師傅 在長江旁的點心店
: 她有閃亮的頭髮 她是一個工程師的女兒
: 難道你不會為了我的黃玫瑰流下一滴眼淚嗎?
: 我的黃玫瑰 在她沾血的衣服中
: 她有完美的胸襟 她有崇高的理想
: 她有杏仁般的眼睛 她有金色的大腿
: 她是個哲學家的學生
: 難道你不會為了我的黃玫瑰和我一同哀悼嗎?
: 為了她沾血的衣服流下一滴眼淚
: 她有完美的胸襟 她有崇高的理想
: 她有杏仁般的眼睛 她有金色的大腿
: 她是一個工程師的女兒
: 所以拿起你的手槍吧 拿起你的石頭吧 拿起你的刀子吧
: 切開他們直到露出骨头吧
: 他們只是機器旁的小太監
: 他們建造了黑暗撒旦般的工廠 他們在地球上生產地獄
: 他們買了各各他山的前排座位
: 他們和我是毫無相干的 我為我姊姊哀悼
: 我們在看電視 看電視
: 我們在看電視 看電視
: 她帶上純白的手帕說"現在，自由吧"
: 她認為萬里長城總會倒下
: 她是個學生 她父親是個工程師
: 難道你不會為了我的黃玫瑰流下一滴眼淚嗎? 我的黃玫瑰
: 在她沾血的衣服中 她的爷爷曾經和蔣介石作戰
: 那隻糟糕低級的大老鼠
: 那個曾經命令軍隊攻擊女人和小孩的傢伙
: 想像它 想像它
: 在1948年的春天 毛泽东發飆了
: 從中國趕走了那個獨裁者蔣介石
: 蔣介石的軍隊戰敗到金門
: 他們佔領了金門 然後人們飛過台灣海峽
: 他們逃離到福爾摩沙，把它變成一個製鞋工廠 叫做台灣
: 她和克羅馬儂人不同
: 她和安·波林不同
: 她和羅森堡不同 和不知名的猶太人不同
: 她和不知名的尼加拉瓜人不同
: 一半是巨星 一半是犧牲者
: 概念上她是個嶄新的勝利的明星
: 她和渡渡鸟不同 和Kankanbono不同
: 她和阿茲塔克人不同 和切諾基人不同
: 她是我們大家的姊妹 她是我們失敗的象徵
: 她是那5000萬人中之一 那個可以解放我們自由的人
: 她在電視上...死了
: 我為我的姊妹哀悼...
