Some songs grow on you. Motorcycle Diaries, by Wu Yue Tian, I didn't really like at first, but I have listened it 5 times in the last hour already. As the name suggests, its actually about one of my heroes, 'Che' Guevara. Spend some time to pore over the lyrics and you will realise they are really well crafted, based on the real life journey he took with his uncle, through Latin America. I can almost imagine Che singing them in mandarin.


横越过南美洲 一万两千里的贫穷
我骑著 狂妄的 一股冲动
无垠的大地啊 种不出一个梦
只看到 那无数的 饥饿的孩子 和 绝望佃农

呜 谁在等待英雄
呜 我把左轮瞄准无情天空

谁愿意和我 一起写一个传说
你还梦不梦 疯不疯
还有没有当初 浪漫温柔

印地斯的天空 千年没有出现彩虹
失业的 老人在 弹著斑鸠
谁露宿在街头 谁却住在皇宫
日记上 写满了梦想 我决定要用 这一生背诵


呜 谁在呼喊自由
呜 我用生命挑战宿命宇宙
