第1子の時にローリンが作った曲「トゥ・ザイオン(To Zion)」。もうこの子は13歳になるのかな。幸せな子だ本当にこの子を授かった時のローリンのうれしさと愛を感じる。
5人のお子さんがそれぞれ大きくなり、後、子育ての慣れもあって、活動を開始したのかな~と思いきや、今年第6子を身ごもったローリン・ヒル(Lauryn Hill)の意外な展開。
パートナーのローハン・マリー(Rohan Marley)が、今も未婚の状態で、しかも今回は「おれの子じゃない」発言をツイッター上で展開。未婚なら、まあ、それでいいのかなと思いますが、そうスッパリ割り切れちゃうものなのですかね
2011年の活動開始したばかりの時に、「Repercussions」という未発表曲がビルボードでチャートインしていた。これから生まれてくるこの為に、愛のあふれるような彼女の曲を聞いてみたい。
Lauryn Hill Zion
英語歌詞
Unsure of what the balance held
I touched my belly overwhelmed
By what I had been chosen to perform
But then an angel came one day
Told me to kneel down and pray
For unto me a man child would be born
Woe this crazy circumstance
I knew his life deserved a chance
But everybody told me to be smart
Look at your career they said,
"Lauryn, baby use your head"
But instead I chose to use my heart
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
See life for you my prince has just begun
And I thank you for choosing me
To come through unto life to be
A beautiful reflection of his grace
See I know that a gift so great
Is only one God could create
And I'm reminded every time I see your face
That the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
Marching, marching, marching to Zion
Marching, marching
Marching, marching, marching to Zion
Beautiful, beautiful Zion
(repeat to end of song)
