AC 51. NEW BABYLON 《新巴比伦》| Track 03. Mambo for Lost Children

《Mambo for Lost Children》 是一首带着童心和一点荒诞气息的自由爵士 Mambo。歌曲从“迷路的孩子”出发，用非常简单、像六岁孩子说出来的语言，描绘月亮、小猫、会自己走路的鞋子，以及不知道该往哪里去的小小旅程。轻快的 Mambo 节奏和自由爵士的即兴形成反差，让天真的歌词在混乱、跳跃的音乐中变得有些梦幻。间歇出现的法语和 scat singing，则像孩子突然想到什么就唱出来的一样。整首歌既像一场街头游戏，也像一群迷路的孩子在夜里一起跳舞。“Mambo for Lost Children” is a playful, slightly surreal free-jazz mambo about children who have lost their way. Told in very simple, childlike language, the song follows little images of the moon, a small cat, wandering shoes, and a journey with no clear destination. The light mambo rhythm contrasts with the wild, unpredictable energy of free jazz, creating a dreamlike world where innocence and chaos can dance together. Small touches of French and scat singing appear like spontaneous games between children. The song feels like a street parade, a playground game, and a midnight adventure for a group of lost children—all at once.--Mambo for Lost ChildrenVerse 1I lost my way.I see the moon.I see a cat.He says, “Come soon.”Petit chat,où vas-tu?I don’t know.Do you?ChorusMambo, mambo,Where do we go?Mambo, mambo,I don’t know!Mambo, mambo,Left, right, go!Mambo, mambo,On y va!Verse 2My little shoeswalk by themselves.One goes here.One goes there.La la la,viens avec moi.Round and round,tra-la-la!ChorusMambo, mambo,Where do we go?Mambo, mambo,I don’t know!Mambo, mambo,Left, right, go!Mambo, mambo,On y va!ScatBa-da, ba-da,doo-ba-doo!Pa-ra-pa,me and you!Shoo-ba, shoo-ba,la-la-la!Mambo, mambo,ha-ha-ha!BridgeIs that home?No, no, no.Is that home?Maybe so.Une étoile.Deux étoiles.Trois, quatre, cinq—ChorusMambo, mambo,Where do we go?Mambo, mambo,I don’t know!Mambo, mambo,Left, right, go!Mambo, mambo,On y va!Outro / Free JazzMambo…mambo…Petit chat,attends-moi!Ba-da-doo…pa-ra-pa…Where do we go?…I don’t know.一南 | Yinan前往小宇宙评论区与主播互动
