[외국가요] Leningrad (노래 : Chris de Burgh)

                                                          Leningrad

                                                  노래 : Chris de Burgh

                                       Nick Ingram, cond. / Royal Phil. Orch.

                    2차대전 당시 포위된 소련의 레닌그라드를 배경으로 한 노래.

                 1941년에 독일군이 레닌그라드를 봉쇄하여 그 안에서 살던

                        사람들은 혹독한 겨울과 추위와 기근을 견디며

                   무려 900일을 버텼다. 사상자도 어마어마하게 많았다.

                    전쟁과 점령에 의한 고달픔과 슬픔이 느껴지는 음악.

There she stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time,
And the memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war,

For the girl in the photograph, much had changed in the years that passed,
But her longing for the boy she loved was still the same since the war,

It was a moonless night upon the road of life, when he'd held her to say goodbye,
Many more would survive, for he stayed behind to help them live again,

When they met at the garden gate, tears would fall from a deep embrace,
For she never knew what happened to the boy she loved in the war,

Back in those happy days, before the soldiers came,
To break down the ones who remained,
And they only survived, who could learn to die, and live to fight again,

There they stood in an empty room, heard a voice from another time,
And their memories came rolling back of Leningrad in the war.
