about

One day I saw an article talking about the forbidden of riding elephants, it brought me back to thinking at the age of 12, I traveled to India for experiencing riding elephants, unfortunately, I met an old elephant who barely walks...he walked so slow on the way...then his captor couldn't help spanking his butt yelling at him walking faster!
It makes me think:
How many rounds did the elephant walk during a day? did you drink water? did you eat? did you work overtime?
It's quite shameful to me as a human being...people force the animals to do what they shouldn't do to entertain humans to experience the fresh things in their life.
That's why this song came out, standing by the side of elephants, telling the deep stories.

有天看見網路上人們討論著關於不要騎乘任何動物的文章，不禁回想12歲當時去印度玩體驗騎乘大象，不料剛好騎乘一隻年老體衰的大象，當時看見大象因為走不太動被主人喝斥並拿藤條抽打屁股時，一股心酸湧上心頭，心想：
牠一天到底來回幾趟呀？有沒有喝水？有沒有吃飯？是不是超時工作了？
身為人類真的覺得為了娛樂及體驗新奇事物，而讓動物痛苦地承受著本該不屬於牠們該承受的...
feel so shameful....
因此以大象視角出發編寫此曲，道盡心酸的內心故事

lyrics

Don’t hunt at me, let me beg for you
If I burden too much, it will gain my pain.
Don’t climb on me, let me beg for you
If you weigh too much, it will hurt my feelings.
做母得害涯做母得害涯

Don't be hiding, Don't be hiding
Let me beg for you ooh
Don"t you hunt, Don't you hunt at me
Let me beg for you.

Don't hunt at me, Don't hunt at me
Don't climb on me, Don't climb on me

Don’t hunt at me, let me beg for you
If I burden too much, it will gain my pain.
Don’t climb on me, let me beg for you
If you weigh too much, it will hurt my feelings.

Don't hunt at me, Don't climb on me
Don't hurt my feelings.
Don't hunt at me, Don't climb on me
Don't hurt my feelings.
Don't hunt at me, Don't climb on me
Don't hurt my feelings.
Don't hunt at me, Don't climb on me
Don't hurt my feelings.
