随耳入心｜If I Die Young
Monday
“I’ll die, these bombs will kill me.”
“我可能会死。这些炸弹会杀死我”……
这是在叙利亚Aleppo的一个7岁小女孩的心声。当我们在朋友圈发美食，晒美照时，这位小女孩也在直播自己的生活，只是她的生活多了战争带来的残酷与伤害。
Her name is Bana, instead of filling of cheers and laughter, there are only bloodiness and chaos in her childhood,
她叫Bana，她的童年没有欢声笑语，只有血腥和混乱。
The 7-year-old girl witnessed all kinds of bombings and death. Her mother and she just live in panic every day. She’d ever asked her mother, “Why there’s nobody can hear us and give us a hand?”
7岁的她，亲眼看着自己的家和学校被炸弹摧毁，亲人朋友无数次倒在血泊中，而她和母亲每天都生活在恐慌中。它曾问母亲：“妈妈，为什么没有人能听到我们的呼喊，来帮助我们？”
Finally, they recorded their painful experiences by Twitter, and sent the first message saying “I need peace.” on September 24th. Then they start to record all they suffer.
终于，她们将这种无助与呐喊记录到了社交网站。9月24日，Bana在推特上发了第一条消息“我渴求和平” ，之后便开始记录每一次的失望和痛彻心扉。
“Stop killing us”，这是Bana的呐喊和期待，7岁，在本该沐浴在爸妈建造的温床，无忧无虑的年龄，她在呼唤和平，渴望停止杀戮。
真心希望这个地球不再有战争和杀害。
正好听到一首歌，《If I Die Young》，是美国乡村音乐乐队The Band Perry的作品，优美的旋律和富有幻想意义的歌词，希望能给大家片刻的温柔与沉思。

且看这首歌的神翻译：
请葬我以花，咏我以歌，送我以诗，赞我以爱。我的谢幕，请不要悲伤，不要流泪。我的血液顺流而下，借着晨光，流过大江南北。我的头发缠住青草，错开过去，长出新的生命。我的眼，望穿深山，透过云彩，高而俯瞰大地。我的耳，闻声于万里，贴着尘埃，听见岁月深处的叹息。所以，请不要为我悲伤流泪。
若吾早逝，为我着红装；若吾早逝，置我于花床。吾身栖夕河，吟我情意歌。青空七彩桥，慈母相安顾。
