當孔子遇上華爾街.英文版2
感受佚名說 新的嘗試用(論語)來寫歌 .大家聽聽看.孔子承認追求財富是人的本性,但強調「義」必須優先於「利」.「富與貴,是人之所欲也;不以其道得之,不處也。」(里仁篇)強調如果不是正當手段得來的財富,君子是不會接受的。「富而可求也,雖執鞭之士,吾亦為之。」(述而篇)說明只要是正當工作,即使是基層職位,孔子也願意去求財。

英文歌詞-段落結構
[Intro ticking clock, plucked strings of traditional Chinese pipa]
[Verse 1 – Calm, narrative vocals]
Wall Street's chimes have just fallen
Some pop champagne in revelry, others in corners struggle
Red and green lines flicker, digits ticking like blinking codes
Greedy eyes stare at screens, no one wants to go home
[Verse 2: Rhythm emerges – steady electronic beat intertwines with abacus clicks]
In the shadow of the tower Sits An old gentleman
In a worn robe, out of place Like a painting from another age
He pays no heed To the maddened screens, nor cares For the swings of the market
Merely bowing his head To that ancient abacus Smiling, fingers lightly Tapping
[Pre-Chorus music fades, echoing reverberations]
Clack-clack-clack, the abacus beads ring out crisply
piercing the tangled web of desire
He says if wealth is stained with deceit and greed
it's but a fleeting illusion, a dream that vanishes
[Chorus swells majestically, East meets West]
Perplexed, I asked him on this zero-sum battlefield
‘When the people are content, how can the ruler be discontented?’ What does this ancient saying mean?
The old man paused his fingers, his gaze deep as the ocean
Whispering: ‘After wealth comes guidance. Without roots in the heart, riches are but a vast, desolate wilderness.’
[Verse 3: Pounding rhythm, intensified synth effects]
Clack-clack-clack, the crisp sound of abacus beads
Awoke the sheep that had lost its way
‘Wealth and honour gained unjustly are but fleeting clouds to me’
This is no grand principle, merely a window of tranquillity left for the soul
[Bridge: Explosive energy, final climax]
Who are the victors? When the game ends, who remains?
Towers built of bubbles crumble at the slightest breeze
‘Acquire through righteousness, and men will never resent your gain’—that is the truest principle
In this city of desire, how many truly understand?
[Outro fades, final chime]
The chime's echo lingers, neon lights blaze crimson
He tucks away his abacus, rises slowly
Without a glance back, vanishes into Wall Street's neon clamour
Leaving only a sigh, carried by the wind into the night sky
[outro]
