大家好！我係二少爺，今次重溫一首1987年舊歌：Suzanne Vega 的《Luka》。

香港報紙，久唔久就會報導「家庭暴力」事件。離婚問題和家庭經濟問題衍生出虐兒問題。Suzanne Vega 以一個被虐兒童Luka的觀點出發，由男孩說出他被虐的遭遇。

歌曲內容大致講：

我的名字叫Luka，我住在二樓，即是在你家的樓上。我想你應該曾經見過我。如果你在深夜時分聽到一些爭拗或嘈吵聲音，請別問我發生了什麼事情。

我想可能因為我太過笨拙，我儘量不會大聲說話。或許是因為我有時抓狂。我儘量不舉止傲慢。他們打到你放聲大哭為止。但事後，你卻不敢問「為什麼？」你就是不敢再爭辯下去，情願息事寧人。

我想我會沒事的，我又要走進那個門口了。如果你問我的話，我會怎樣回答呢？我會答：「這不關你的事。」我只希望我能夠一個人獨處，再聽不到扔東西、摔爛東西的聲音。只求你別再問我過得好不好。

體罰

我細細個（即是遠古之前）體罰十分普遍。左鄰右里的小朋友，邊個唔係由細打到大吖？適當打吓令我記住唔會再犯同樣錯誤，父母打我嗰陣我週屋逃跑，訓練反應要快，打吓又鍛鍊筋骨的抵禦力，其實諗落體罰真係唔錯。

不過我父母打我的力度都是有限，「係咁夷」咁打！而家虐兒啲父母當仔女係出氣袋或沙包咁打，錯手打死仔女的案例也不少。就算打佢唔死，小朋友也留下心理陰影，長大後又狠狠地打自己的下一代，惡性循環，冤冤相報。

我有一些已為人父母的朋友，都不敢打仔女，驚仔女睇唔開走去自殺。打得重手可能會打死人，打得輕都驚小朋友受唔住去自殺。所以而家啲生命幾脆弱吖！不在溫室長大的植物，才能抵擋烈陽風雨。

完

二少爺說：雖然是1987年（25年前）的作品，現在聽起來，歌曲仍然很搶耳。

Luka - Suzanne Vega

My name is Luka  

I live on the second floor

I live upstairs from you

Yes I think you've seen me before

If you hear something late at night

Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

Just don't ask me what it was

I think it's because I'm clumsy

I try not to talk too loud

Maybe it's because I'm crazy

I try not to act too proud

They only hit until you cry

And after that you don't ask why

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

You just don't argue anymore

Yes I think I'm okay

I walked into the door again

Well, if you ask that's what I'll say

And it's not your business anyway

I guess I'd like to be alone

With nothing broken, nothing thrown

Just don't ask me how I am

Just don't ask me how I am

Just don't ask me how I am
