第87屆奧斯卡最佳歌曲獎獲獎感言

first off, i’d like to thank god that lives in us all. recently, john and i got to go to selma and perform “glory” on the same bridge that dr. king and the people of the civil rights movement marched on 50 years ago. this bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation, but now is a symbol for change. the spirit of this bridge transcends race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social status. the spirit of this bridge connects the kid from the south side of chicago, dreaming of a better life to those in france standing up for their freedom of expression to the people in hong kong protesting for democracy. this bridge was built on hope. welded with compassion. and elevated by love for all human beings.

(首先，感謝上帝和我們同在。最近，john和我去了selma，在馬丁路德金和人權運動人士五十年前一起遊行的橋上，演唱了“榮耀”這首歌。這座橋曾經是一個分裂的國家的標誌物，現在卻象徵着改變。這座橋的精神，穿越種族，性別，宗教，性取向，社會階層。這座橋的精神，把來自芝加哥南部，希望有一個更好生活的孩子，和那些在法國為了言論自由而站出來，那些在香港為了民主而抗議的人們聯繫在一起。這座橋建立了希望。我們和同情心一起變老，我們在對人類的愛中昇華。)

thank you. nina simone said it’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times in which we live. we wrote this song for a film that was based on events that were 50 years ago, but we say selma is now, because the struggle for justice is right now. we know that the voting rights, the act that they fought for 50 years ago is being compromised right now in this country today. we know that right now the struggle for freedom and justice is real. we live in the most incarcerated country in the world. there are more black men under correctional control today than were under slavery in 1850. when people are marching with our song, we want to tell you that we are with you, we see you, we love you, and march on.

---john legend

(謝謝。nina simone説過，表現我們生活的時代是藝術家的責任。我們創作的這首歌，是為了一部講述五十年前的事件的電影，但我們認為，selma反映的是現在，因為當下為了正義的抗爭。我們知道，五十年前他們爭取來的投票權，在當下可能遭到剝奪。我們知道，當下對自由和正義的抗爭是實實在在的。我們生活在一個世界上最緊閉的國家。在監獄中的黑人比1850年的黑奴還要多。當人們唱着我們的歌遊行的時候，我們想要告訴你們，我們和你們一起，我們看見你們，我們愛你們，一起向前。)
