古早古早，在羅斯福路的耕莘文教院
有三個愛唱西洋歌曲的大學生組成了一個合唱團，
他們是台大B53級化學系的于、物理系的楊、和土木系的吳，
因為都是天主教的一個青年團體「至潔基督生活團」的成員，
所以大家都以「至潔三寶」來稱呼他們的合唱團。
他們喜歡唱當時在美國紅半邊天的大學生合唱團 The Brothers Four 的歌曲，
最拿手的包括了“Green Fields”、“Yellow Bird”等等。
日前驚聞「三寶」中的楊在美國過世了。
以這首“Yellow Bird”來紀念他，並祈願他的家人平安。
“Yellow Bird”是由海地的歌曲“Choucoune”改編成英文歌，
英文歌的原唱是Arthur Lyman。
Yellow Bird
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree.
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me.
Did your lady friend leave your nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad.
You can fly away, in the sky away.
Youre more lucky than me.
I also had a pretty girl,
shes not with me today.
Theyre all the same those pretty girls.
Take tenderness, then they fly away.
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Let her fly away, in the sky away
Pick a town and, soon, take from night to noon
Black and yellow, you like banana too
They might pick you someday
Wish that I were a yellow bird
Id fly away with you
But I am not a yellow bird
So here I sit, nothin else to do
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
Yellow bird
(FADE)
Yellow bird
