The Byrds伯茲合唱團1965年冠軍曲"Turn! Turn! Turn!(To Everything There Is A Season)"
聖誕新年季節,不知為何,腦中響起的不是那些耳熟能詳的聖誕歌曲,而是這首70年代的老歌,歌詞出自聖經傳道書所羅門的手筆,天下萬務都有定時!我想是時候神要做新事了!一個美好的季節,分享這首古老雋永的好歌!
(沒辦法我是活躍在美好80年代的小孩,還是沒選黑白時代的MV,所以選了後來Byrds現場的版本,也顧及音質,驚訝的發現這些老人家聲音真是一點沒變呢!雖然電吉他的聲音少了點舊時代的風味……)

Artist: The Byrds
Song: Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season)
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time of war, a time of peace
A time of love, a time of hate
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing
To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time of peace, I swear it's not too late!
凡事都有定期、天下萬務都有定時‧
生有時、死有時‧栽種有時、拔出所栽種的、也有時‧
殺戮有時、醫治有時‧拆毀有時、建造有時‧
哭有時、笑有時‧哀慟有時、跳舞有時‧
拋擲石頭有時、堆聚石頭有時‧
懷抱有時、不懷抱有時‧
尋找有時、失落有時‧
保守有時、捨棄有時‧
撕裂有時、縫補有時‧
靜默有時、言語有時‧
喜愛有時、恨惡有時‧
爭戰有時、和好有時。
(傳道書3章1-8節)
