Mothers Pride

지금같이 뭔가 불안하고 힘겹고 잘안될거같을때 들으면 왠지 마음이 차분해지는... (나만그래요 :)

George Michael의 대표적인 반전주의 노래라고 생각합니다.쿨럭쿨럭...

전주부분과 곡의 흐름이 왠지 어디서 들어본 듯한...

가사 해석은 잘 안되지만... 워낙 감각적인 의역이 필요하여...
대충 총칼과 전쟁의 승리는
남편, 아들의 목숨보다
어머니의 자랑거리가 될 수 없다는 내용인 듯...
(실제 전쟁에서 아버지 아들 남편을 잃은 어느 여성의 이야기라고 함...)

Listen without Prejudice에서 soul free 담으로 잴 좋아하는 곡...

1. 07.Mothers Pride-George Michael

she knows
She takes his hand
And prays the child will understand
At the door they watch the men go by
In the clothes that daddy wore
Mothers pride
Baby Boy
His father's eyes
He's a soldier waiting for war
Time will come
He'll hold a gun
His father's son


And as he grows
He hears the band
Takes the step from boy to man
And at the shore she waves her son goodbye
Like the man she did before


Mothers pride
Just a boy
His country's eyes
He's a soldier waving at the shore
And in her heart the time has come
To lose a son


And all the husbands, all the sons, all the lovers gone
They make no difference
No difference in the end
Still hear the woman say your daddy died a hero
In the name of God and man


Mothers pride
Crazy boy
His lifeless eyes
He's a soldier now forevermore
He'll hold a gun till kingdom come
