吹笛人　　　　　　　阿巴合唱团

他们来自山坡

来自山谷，来自平原

他们在寒冷中挣扎

在酷热、冰雪、大雨中挣扎

只为了听他的演奏

来使他们丧失理智

我们都跟随着一段诡异的旋律

我们都受某种音调的召唤

我们都追随着吹笛人

在月光下起舞

我们都追随着吹笛人

在月光下为他起舞

在月光下起舞

他们从南方来

从西方、北方、东方前来

他们都在等他

像信徒们等待着牧师

等着听他演奏

来使他们丧失理智

他给了人们一个梦境

他诱惑着每一个人

他的眼里有火在烧

恐惧便是他手里的武器

于是，人们任他吹奏

来使他们丧失理智

 这首歌的故事背景取材自《格林童话》里的＜哈米伦的吹笛人＞。

一二八四年，哈米伦市鼠患严重，市民公开悬赏，只要有人能除去鼠患，必有重赏。

不久，来了一位吹笛人，他吹起梦幻般的音乐，全城的老鼠仿佛被催眠一般，随着笛声通通跳进了河里，鼠患于是宣告解除。

　 没想到事过之后，哈米伦市民却不愿信守承诺，拒绝付钱给吹笛人。

吹笛人一气之下，再度吹起有魔力的笛音，这回跟在他身后起舞的，却是全城所有的小孩，市民眼睁睁看着孩子跟着吹笛人走出城外，从此一去不返，音讯全无，但后悔也来不及了。
