[00:00.000] 作曲 : Yoann Lemoine/Nils Oliver Frahm
[01:09.130]I remember the sound of the wind as I was falling asleep.
[01:13.510]The tree branches scrapping the roof like people whispering.
[01:30.350]I arrived here one winter morning,or maybe it was spring.
[01:34.890]And I can’t remember anymore.
[01:37.710]The mind plays tricks.
[02:02.020]Papa has just died two weeks before.
[02:04.450]The ground was frozen when they dug his grave.
[02:07.410]Mama left a note at my suitcase,
[02:09.550]Telling me to do something that would make her proud,
[02:13.930]To be a good man.
[02:21.890]There were so many winters.
[03:59.420]I came here because I wanted a home,
[04:02.360]Or I can find peace,
[04:04.690]Or I can be treated like anyone else,
[04:07.500]Or I can be anyone I want to be.
[04:23.730]It wasn’t always empty.
[04:29.370]They all had to come down here.
[04:42.300]People would lined up here holding their suitcases,
[04:44.600]And their children holding on to them for dear life.
[04:51.950]There were young people and old people, families.
[04:55.800]But lots of them, they were completely alone.
[05:43.590]They waited their turn to reach the guard at the end of the hall.
[05:49.230]The guard would stamp in a book, and say,
[05:51.310]“Go over there.”
[05:54.990]And,“Welcome.”
[06:03.640]I was one of them.
[06:09.540]When I got here, I went into a huge room.
[06:15.650]Doctors are asking these quick questions.
[06:24.570]A doctor comes to me and tells me,
[06:28.660]“You’ve got to go back.”
[06:31.790]I say, “Back where?”
[06:33.710]He says, “Back where you came from.”
[06:41.110]I said, “I’ve got to go to New York. I come for a new life.”
[06:46.740]He says, “No, you can’t. You go to, back home.”
[07:05.740]And I fight him.
[07:06.670]He doesn’t listen.
[07:07.530]He says “five minutes”, and walks away.
[07:10.110]I grab my suitcase,
[07:11.550]And I went to hide in the closet behind all those dressing gowns.
[07:16.440]And when it was dark, I went to hide somewhere else.
[07:22.620]And somewhere else.
[07:29.880]I stayed where nobody could find me.
[07:34.390]And, a week became a month.
[08:27.050]I had only one thing in mind, one place to be.
[08:34.110]Like you can fly if you had the wings,
[08:36.780]You can swim there if the current wasn’t so hard.
[08:40.690]Lots of people tried.
[08:42.360]And I tried lots of times to get there.
[08:52.840]I even tried to swim once, but I only made a little way.
[09:07.730]One night, I met somebody else.
[09:11.710]She was hiding, too.
[09:14.990]So we hid together, living at night.
[09:22.230]And we talk about what we would be when we got to the shore,
[09:28.480]What our lives were going to be like.
[09:46.420]And one day, she didn’t wake up.
[10:05.460]So I took her body, and put it in the water,
[10:10.480]And watched it flow to where she wanted to go.
[10:31.480]And I was alone again.
[10:52.200]I’m sorry, we were so close.
[12:33.510]There were all these millions of people who come to here,
[12:38.080]And I see them all,
[12:42.300]People of every color, shape, and size.
[12:46.880]And I think about all those people who did,
[12:50.450]All of those that made it,
[12:57.010]Made it to some distant shore,
[12:58.370]And when they come up the beach,
[12:59.720]Or over a bridge, or onto a road,
[13:03.170]They start to walk.
[13:07.550]And they start walking faster and faster.
[13:12.090]Then they are running.
[13:17.740]They made it.
[13:22.320]They were last home.
[13:33.430]But don’t get me wrong.
[13:36.930]I am the ghost of all those who never got to get there.
