Sinead O'Connor ,1966 年 12 月 12 日生于爱尔兰的都柏林,
是一位非常具有争议性的光头女歌手。当初唱片公司想把她包装成
一个金发碧眼的女歌手,她却愤而操剪把自己变成了一个光头女歌
手,这简直是对传统唱片业包装、运作的一个极大讽刺和挑战。此
后她的不羁性格和标志性的大光头便成了她最大的特色。自1987年
出道以来,她一直保持着自主表达情感的女强人形象。在全球各种
公共场合,她直率的禀性常常表现为傲慢无礼,但这类勇敢行为最
终为她赢得了无数崇拜者。她曾经在获得四项提名的情况下拒绝参
加格莱美的角逐;也曾经因烧毁罗马教皇的画像而被美国观众赶下
台。但她的音乐天赋让人无法拒绝。她的音乐植根于合成摇滚、凯
尔特民歌与朋克音乐。

听过Sinead不多的几首代表她一贯风格(狂野硬朗型)的歌曲,但
大多数都不对胃口,而这首偶然觅得的A Perfect Indian 细腻纯
净的声音一直让我无法忘怀,所说是那种淡淡的不经意的忧郁,那
么不经意地揪住听者的心,浮躁的心有了片刻的宁静。我想这个外
表纤柔,内心却有如烈火般的女子,一定向往着广褒的草原,神骏
的马匹,和那些黑皮肤的异乡人眼中的光芒。
A Perfect Indian
sing by Sinead O'Cornner
A Perfect Indian is he
Remembering him life is sweet
Like a weeping willow
His face on my pillow
Comes to me still in my dreams
And there I saw a young baby
A beautiful daughter was she
A face from a painting
Red cheeks and teeth aching
Her eyes like a wild Irish sea
On a table in her yellow dress
For a photograph feigned happiness
Why in my life is that the only time
That any of you will smile at me
I'm sailing on this terrible ocean
I've come for my self to retrieve
Too long have I been feeling like Lir's children
And there's only one way to be free
He's shy and he speaks quietly
He's gentle and he seems to me
Like the elf-arrow
His face worn and harrowed
Is he a daydreamer like me
by little
