這首歌由台灣原住民布農族歌手王宏恩於2000年作詞作曲，收錄於專輯《獵人》中。原曲為男
聲獨唱搭配柔和的民謠吉他伴奏。大地藝術在2018年委託菲律賓知名作曲家蔡順利先生 (Saunder
Choi) 為合唱編曲。菲律賓牧歌合唱團於同年在台灣巡迴音樂會中將此曲演出。Ana tupa tu 整首歌
以布農族語演唱。 雖然中文歌名是《月光》， 然而Ana tupa tu 的原意是「雖然……」。首句唱著
「雖然失去依靠，仍然感到快樂， 因為我們還有月光；雖然失去立足所在， 仍然感到安慰， 因
為我們還有希望。 」其字面意義是為勉勵族人隨遇而安、對未來保持盼望。但更深層的意涵為族
中長老對年輕人的傳承，長輩的關愛如柔和的月光，在夜晚時分照映在大地上，期盼年輕人看到
月亮能夠想起長輩的關愛與諄諄教誨。
This song was originally composed and written by the Taiwan indigenous Bunun tribe singer Biung
Takbanuaz (Wang Hong-En) in 2000. In 2018, it was commissioned by the Earth Performance Arts
Center to the Filipino composer Saunder Choi for choral arrangement and was premiered by the
Philippine Madrigal Singers during their Taiwan touring performance in the same year. The lyrics of
“Ana tupa tu” are in the Bunun language from the Bunun indigenous tribe of Taiwan. “Ana tupa tu”
literally means “in spite of”, encouraging the tribe people to maintain hope for the future despite
adversities, and yet with a deeper meaning of the elders’ legacy to the youth. The song conveys the elders’ care like the gentle moonlight, reflecting on the earth at night, hoping that the young people will remember the elders’ love and earnest words when they see the moon.
