When will I fly to the other side of the wall?

飛

詞:三毛

我不怕　等待你始終不說的答案
但是行裝理了　箱子扣了
要走了　要走了　要走了

這是最後一夜了　面對面坐著沒有終站的火車
明天要飛去　飛去沒有你的地方
啊…　沒有你的地方

鑰匙在你緊鎖的心裡
左手的機票右手的護照　是個謎
一個不想去解開　不想去解開的謎

我不怕　等待你始終不說的答案
但是行裝理了　箱子扣了
要走了　要走了　要走了
這是最後一夜了
面對面坐著沒有終站的火車

明天要飛去　飛去沒有你的地方
啊…　沒有你的地方

前程也許在遙遠的地方
離別也許不會在機場
只要你說出一個未來

我會是你的　這一切都可以放棄
……

I like this poem by 三毛. Will there be anyone that important in my life to make me give up whatever I have or going to do? Right now I am still inside the walls.

I spent a few days in Morocco this summer. It is not the best place for tourists, but surly I had a lot of fun.  When I was in Essaouira, a coastal city in Morocco, I was invitied to a small repair store opened by some local people (they are also selling something not entirely legal there). They sang songs to praise their god with hand-made guinbri, one of the most common stringed instruments found in West Africa and used a cassette tape to make sounds! I watched them sang, smoked and drank (all in this tiny space, human being is really flexible). Really interesting cultural observation. I recorded some of their songs and have uploaded them toyoutube. Enjoy!
