今天要介紹的是這首Mr. Tembo，今天譯註比較多所以直接在前面做一些背景說明～ Tembo在坦尚尼亞語是指大象，Mr. Tembo 是某次Damon和朋友去坦尚尼亞拜訪時農場主人救援的一隻小象，這隻小象的媽媽因為被獵人殺害之後，小象因此失去了庇護，所以農場主帶他回家照顧，讓他住在一間小屋，晚上農場主人回家的時候會開著電視，播放著福音歌曲，小象還有一條灰色毛毯是農場主人給他代替母親的安慰物。Injili在坦尚尼亞文中是福音的意思，也就是來自上天的好消息之意。據Damon 在訪談說在他探訪時，他彈奏了一小段音樂（就是這首歌的旋律）給小象聽，小象似乎對Damon很有興趣，用了他的鼻子摸了他的臉好幾次，最後，小象他...拉肚子了！就在Damon前面XDD 據他說那是小朋友那種白白的便便（Damon你不用敘述那麼詳細沒關係的）。可惜的是這頭小象Mr. Tembo已於2018年過世。總之就是這樣，讓我們用這首歌來祝福地球的其他生物吧～聽歌這邊走 https://youtu.be/ODG3VRkncBc
