about

A multilingual spoken word piece, soundscape, introducing who I am, where I come from, and how I got to where I am now.

lyrics

歷代祖先
我是阮樂凡
我現在人在很遠的所在
也不知你聽得到無
感謝你幾百年來辛苦打拼
與對我出世到長大的保庇
讓我一世人可以自由做我想做的事情

我是樂凡
我的老母姓鄭,是鄭家在台灣樹林的第七代
祖先是從河南滎陽,搬去福建泉州的河洛人
我爸爸家姓阮,爺爺從海南島木棠村
因為戰爭逃難到越南,然後搬去台灣

我在柑園長大,周遭都是農田
我記得小時候常在水稻裡面撈蝌養青蛙
還有跟阿嬤在她的的菜園子裡面種菜
我也記得媽媽跟我說他小時候的故事
在我們家旁邊的那條水溝裡面釣魚、抓蝦、撈蜆仔

大約我十歲的時候吧
周遭的田地慢慢開始蓋工廠
鋪水泥,變成了鐵皮屋
那本來清澈的水溝也被染成了深紫色
沒有生命了

When I was 11 years old we immigrated to Turtle Island
Right now I am on the traditional territories of the
Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh Peoples
Where I currently am living, creating, learning
And unpacking what it means for me to be here now
