The piperABBA

They came from the hills
And they came from the valleys and the plains
They struggled in the cold
In the heat and the snow and in the rain
Came to hear him play
Play their minds away

*We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon

They came from the south
From the west and the north and from the east
They waited for the man
Like a parish is waiting for the priest
Longed to hear him play
Play their minds away

He gave them a dream
He seduced everybody in the land
The fire in his eyes
And the fear was a weapon in his hand
So they let him play
Play their minds away

吹笛人　阿巴合唱团

他们来自山坡
来自山谷，来自平原
他们在寒冷中挣扎
在酷热、冰雪、大雨中挣扎
只为了听他的演奏
来使他们丧失理智

我们都跟随着一段诡异的旋律
我们都受某种音调的召唤
我们都追随着吹笛人
在月光下起舞
我们都追随着吹笛人
在月光下为他起舞
在月光下起舞

他们从南方来
从西方、北方、东方前来
他们都在等他
像信徒们等待着牧师
等着听他演奏
来使他们丧失理智

他给了人们一个梦境
他诱惑着每一个人
他的眼里有火在烧
恐惧便是他手里的武器
于是，人们任他吹奏
来使他们丧失理智

　  这首歌的故事背景取材自《格林童话》里的＜哈米伦的吹笛人＞。一二八四年，哈米伦市鼠患严重，市民公开悬赏，只要有人能除去鼠患，必有重赏。不久，来了一位吹笛人，他吹起梦幻般的音乐，全城的老鼠仿佛被催眠一般，随着笛声通通跳进了河里，鼠患于是宣告解除。
　 没想到事过之后，哈米伦市民却不愿信守承诺，拒绝付钱给吹笛人。吹笛人一气之下，再度吹起有魔力的笛音，这回跟在他身后起舞的，却是全城所有的小孩，市民眼睁睁看着孩子跟着吹笛人走出城外，从此一去不返，音讯全无，但后悔也来不及了。
