Chinese Children 中国孩子 - a Chinese folk song by Zhou Yunpeng 周云蓬

中国孩子

不要做克拉瑪依的孩子，火燒痛皮膚讓親娘心焦
不要做沙蘭鎮的孩子，水底下漆黑他睡不著
不要做成都人的孩子，吸毒的媽媽七天七夜不回家
不要做河南人的孩子，愛滋病在血液裡哈哈的笑
不要做山西人的孩子，爸爸變成了一筐煤，你別再想見到他
不要做中國人的孩子，餓極了他們會把你吃掉
還不如曠野中的老山羊，為保護小羊而目露兇光
不要做中國人的孩子，爸爸媽媽都是些怯懦的人
為證明他們的鐵石心腸，死到臨頭讓領導先走

周云蓬 沉默如谜的呼吸
周云蓬，最具人文的中国民谣音乐代表。9岁时失明，15岁弹吉他，19岁上大学，21岁写诗，24岁开始随处漂泊。窥破秘密的沉默，审视命运的呼吸，"我希望我可以和命运合二为一。"那份庄严的豁达一如庄周"水击三千里，抟扶摇而上者九万里"的《逍遥游》。

is a poet and folk singer based in Beijing. He went blind when he was nine. His last image of the colored world was the elephant in a zoo playing harmonica. This became an inspiration for him to write songs and sing later in his life. He likes to describe pure beautiful nature like a paradise, but he often reminds readers of the coldness of the external world and the struggle within a mans heart. His language floats like water, his voice is rich and calm. The song below reflects several tragic news events. The helpless and angry tone represents a powerful social and cultural critique from the compassionate artist. Listen here. Music from Sogou, Lyrics translated by CDT:

Dont be a child of Karamay, you would burn your skin and make a mothers heart ache

Dont be a child of Shalan town, you wouldnt fall asleep under the inky black water

Dont be a child of Chengdu parents, a drug addicted mother doesnt go home for seven days and nights

Dont be a child of Henan parents, AIDS in the blood laughs out loud

Dont be a child of Shanxi parents, your father would become a basket of coal and you would never see him again

Dont be a child of Chinese, when they starve they would eat you

Theyre worse than the old goat in the wilderness, whose eyes might become aggressive to protect their little ones

Dont be a child of Chinese, the parents are all too weak

To prove their hearts are as hard as iron and stone, when death is imminent, they save their leaders first.

回复彩虹姐姐的评论:
很理解你的心情，这首歌的确没歌唱那些幸福的孩子，但总要有人来为这些不幸福的孩子呐喊吧？歌唱幸福孩子的歌很多很多了。。

另外，俺不好意思地提醒您一下，看看作者，歌者，俺下面介绍了“9岁失明的盲人歌手周云蓬”他没大家那么幸运到国外，但他自己用自己的心声为不幸的孩子呐喊着。。。

我觉得这首诗，太片面了。比如成都的孩子这句，难道所有的成都的妈妈都那样？还是出现了一个那样的成都妈妈？纽约也有个别很不负责任的妈妈，难道可以说不要做纽约的孩子？ 估计作者很久没与回国了，停留在国外对中国的报道与他自己很久以前对中国的记忆之中。我觉得中国的孩子大部分是很幸福的。中国孩子被宠坏了到是一个问题。

回复WienFan的评论:
WienFan说得好，他作为盲人歌手能有这样的社会责任与意识很不简单啊，歌唱得也蛮好。
