最近 Cinemax 上在播《日落黃沙》(The Wild Bunch) 這部經典西部片，我突然想起怎麼沒想過要買這部片的 soundtrack？上網一查發現《日落黃沙》的電影原聲帶奇貨可居至少 US:100 起跳，這部片的配樂由大多從事電視劇配樂的 Jerry Fielding 作曲，曲風很類似同時代的 Bullitt, Planet of Apes。
The Wild Bunch Theme
不過電影裡最迷人的音樂是一首原創於 1883 年由 Narciso Serradell (1843-1910) 作詞曲的墨西哥民謠 La Golondrina (The Swallow)，歌詞大意是飛行的燕子渴望住所的意思，《日落黃沙》片中 William Holden 等人在墨西哥夥伴 Angel 家鄉過了一段安定生活之後，離去時墨西哥族人唱著向他們送別。
這首民謠在 20 世紀經由西班牙人/美國人傳播成為知名音樂作品，甚至另出現了英文版, 德文版， Nat King Cole, Placido Domingo, Nana Mouskouri 等人都翻唱過。
不過我建議還是要聽最原始的墨西哥民謠版：
１。《日落黃沙》片中的版本
２。墨西哥民謠版
因為這篇文章也意外聯絡上一位塞爾維亞籍的朋友, 他收集了 850 個版本的 La Golondrina
