《青青草原》
成大電機1966級同學洪肇奎教授, 在母校電資學院任教, 四月中不幸過世, 西格瑪林中明為文、攝影及找歌以哀之。
文曰:
多謝你們”代表“五五級三班同學”參加肇奎兄的追悼會,還參與了校友和同學們對紀念肇奎兄在成大設立獎學金的捐贈,我想,為此,肇奎兄大概比「交流電路」考 90分 還要高興!
附上一幅“史丹福山岡綠草雙橡圖” ( 我攝於4.18!),我名之曰: Green Green Grass of Hill。
並附上1966年咱們畢業時,連獲七週世界冠軍銷售的“ Green Green Grass of Home”,三種歌唱版本,以追悼肇奎兄。 這首歌的歌詞感人。諸位此時再聽,感受必然和48年前不一樣。
大家保重

歌是:"Green Green Grass Of Home"
歌詞如下:
The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green, grass of home.
The old house is still standing, tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
and there's that old oak tree that I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
[spoken:]
Then I awake and look around me, at the four grey walls that surround me
and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre -
arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home.
