1986年7月,电视剧《芝麻绿豆》开始播出,总共播出了510集,播放时间长达三年。
剧情讲述的虽然是发生在邻里之间微不足道的日常小事,却牵动了电视机前许多观众的心。
随着《芝麻绿豆》的播出,剧中的主题曲《小人物的心声》也走进了新加坡的千家万户。
三十多年后的今天,这首新谣歌曲仍然能够激励人心。
In July 1986, the TV drama "Trivial Matters" (lit. Sesame and Mung Beans) began airing, eventually running for 510 episodes over three years. Although its plot revolved around trivial, everyday matters happening in the neighborhood, it captured the hearts of many viewers. Along with the broadcast of "Trivial Matters," its theme song, "The Voice of a Small Person," also entered thousands of households in Singapore. More than thirty years later, this Xinyao song can still inspire people.
《小人物的心声》不仅歌词浅白、朗朗上口,而且意义深刻。
年轻一代或许根本没听说过《芝麻绿豆》这部电视剧,但对剧中的主题曲一点儿也不陌生。
在国庆庆典上,联合学校合唱团的年轻学子们常常带领观众唱响这首歌。
Not only are the lyrics of "The Voice of a Small Person" simple and catchy, but its meaning is also profound. The younger generation may have never even heard of the drama "Trivial Matters," but they are not at all unfamiliar with its theme song. At National Day Parades, young students from combined school choirs often lead the audience in singing this song.
李显龙总理在2014年的国庆群众大会上也提到:“新谣歌曲中,我最喜欢的是《小人物的心声》,也最熟悉。
在国庆庆典上很高兴有机会和大家一起唱,因为它很有意思,小人物也有小人物的贡献。”
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also mentioned at the 2014 National Day Rally: "Among the Xinyao songs, my favorite and most familiar is 'The Voice of a Small Person.' I am very happy to have the opportunity to sing it with everyone at the National Day Parade because it is very meaningful; small people also have their own contributions."
“也许我一个人,不能成就一番大事业,但我尽力贡献一份微薄的力量……”《小人物的心声》唱出了新加坡人的感受。
半个世纪以来,一代代新加坡人勤奋努力,每个小人物都积极打拼。
如果没有他们的奉献和付出,就没有今天繁荣的新加坡。
"Perhaps I, as one person, cannot achieve a great undertaking, but I do my best to contribute my humble strength..." "The Voice of a Small Person" sings out the feelings of Singaporeans. For half a century, generations of Singaporeans have worked diligently, with every small person striving hard. Without their dedication and contributions, there would not be the prosperous Singapore of today.
无论从事什么职业,无论地位高低,只要敬业乐业,平凡的小人物也能发出耀眼的光芒,创造出非凡的成就。
Regardless of one's profession or status, as long as one is dedicated and passionate about their work, even an ordinary small person can shine brightly and achieve extraordinary accomplishments.
