这裡就是我们的家


应阿拉伯国家交响乐团之邀,上周六晚上聆听了一场令人感动而醉人之音乐盛会, 更挑起了无数移民之心弦, 让我们这𠆤族裔大熔炉的土地更加多彩多姿。 


歌剧是依据一位高中一年级随家人移民美国的黎巴嫩少女之故事, 改编成為一支动人的歌曲,由美丽动人的歌唱家唱出了她的心声。 初抵美国时, 由於文化生活习惯之大不同, 对於这片陌生土地只有以泪洗面, 度日如年, 经过了多月之挣扎, 她有了新的朋友而且日渐熟悉了週遭环境 ,在学业上更是人得心应手 。但是她还是怀念自己阿拉伯文化及无数亲友, 如今 她已经大学毕业, 有了良好之职业, 她十分感激这个国家赐给之机会, 她成為地道的阿拉伯裔美国人, 她热爱自己固有之文化,也成為新的美国人, 这裡就是我们的家。


这塲由数十人组成之交响乐团在二千多观眾的欢呼声中, 演奏了许多动人心弦的阿拉伯音乐组曲, 尤其是一些古典及眾人耳熟能详的民谣,把台上台下交织歌唱成一片振撼人心的歌声。我看到许多人在拭泪, 这确是他们久违的乡音。


阿拉伯世界代表了数千年文化底韵 ,埃及、黎巴嫩首席歌手為休斯敦带来了美丽的弦律和文化。




 This Is Our Home 


At the invitation of the Arab National Symphony Orchestra, we listened to a very touching and intoxicating musical event last Saturday night. 


The inspiring operatic musical is based on the story of a Lebanese girl who immigrated to the United States with her family in her first year of high school. Due to the great difference  in the culture and living habits, she suffered greatly and had to wash her face often with her tears of disappointment. After many months of struggle, she eventually made new friends and got used to her new environment and she became more proficient in her school studies. But still she missed her Arabic friends and culture. Now she has graduated from college and has a good career and she is very grateful for the opportunity to be governed by this country. She had become Arabic- American, but even though she loved her native culture, so she chose to become a new American. This is her home now. 


The orchestra is composed of dozens of musicians who played many touching Arabic musical compositions. Amidst the cheers from an audience of more than 2,000, many classical and well-known folk songs were artistically  intertwined on the stage and were 

all sung together making it into a spectacular and very unique- sounding song. 


I saw many people wiping away their tears following the performance. The Arabic world represents thousands of years of cultural heritage. They have brought many beautiful songs and a wonderful culture to our city.
