当Madonna在海德公园牵起博哈姆·沃尔多的手时,台下响起了长久的掌声。后者是一名埃塞俄比亚妇女,险些在二十年前的非洲大饥荒中丧生,当年Liveaid演唱会的筹款帮助她度过了灾难。如今她站在这里参加Live8的慈善演出,有着强烈的纪念意义。   Madonna在这场20分钟的露面中演出了三首歌曲:Like A Prayer,Ray of Light和Music。相比之下1989年出品的Like A Prayer算是一首经典老歌了,出现在这样的场合中非常合适,大家不妨欣赏一下这首歌曲(点击下载)。下面是歌词:

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone I hear you call my name And it feels like home Chorus: When you call my name it’s like a little prayer I’m down on my knees, I wanna take you there In the midnight hour I can feel your power Just like a prayer you know I’ll take you there I hear your voice, it’s like an angel sighing I have no choice, I hear your voice Feels like flying I close my eyes, oh God I think I’m falling Out of the sky, I close my eyes Heaven help me (chorus) Like a child you whisper softly to me You’re in control just like a child Now I’m dancing It’s like a dream, no end and no beginning You’re here with me, it’s like a dream Let the choir sing (chorus) Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery Just like a dream, you are not what you seem Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there Just like a prayer, I’ll take you there It’s like a dream to me
