Miss Sarajevo

"Miss Sarajevo"(莎拉耶佛小姐)是1995年 U2 和 Brain Eno 以另一名字 Passengers 發行的專輯 Original Soundtrack 1 之中的單曲。這張專輯雖名為原聲帶，但其實只有幾首是作為電影的配樂或主題曲。"Miss Sarajevo" 是 Bono 應電影導演 Bill Carter 為他的名同紀錄片所作的曲子。Carter在南斯拉夫六個月，從事人道救援的工作，其間遇到艱辛，促成他拍了這部電影。

這首曲子承襲 U2 的特色，深具社會自省的宣告，並富有浪漫的色彩。令人矚目的是，這首曲子請到三大男高音之一的 Luciano Pavarotti (帕華洛帝)一同完成這首曲子。我認為這可以列入 U2 的前五大好歌。影片應該是1995年在 Modena 為波士尼亞戰火下孩童所舉行的慈善音樂會。

歌詞如下：
Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for curling hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for East Seventeen
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume...
L'amore giungerà
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare

[Translation of the above]
You say that the river
finds the way to the sea
and like the river
you will come to me
beyond the borders
and the dry lands
You say that like a river
like a river...
the love will come
the love...
And i don't know how to pray anymore
and in love i don't know how to hope anymore
and for that love i don't know how to wait anymore
[End of Translation]

Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze

O lijepa, o draga, o slatka slobodo,
[dar u kom sva blaga višnji nam bog je do...]
