童星 Judy Garland 原唱圣诞影视金曲经典重现

英语自学网

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas也许是最为耳熟能详的圣诞歌曲之一了，它简单的歌词和优美略带伤感的旋律深深打动了人心。然而很少有人知道这首歌的原唱其实是著名童星Judy Garland，她率先在影片《Meet Me in St. Louis》中对着剧中的女儿动情演绎了这首歌曲，催人泪下。你会发现Judy的这个版本歌词和我们听到的很有些不一样，更为忧伤；而之后Frank Sinatra翻唱的一个爵士乐版则是我们更常听到的版本。其实歌曲创作时的原词更为情绪低落，唱着“Have yourself a merry little Christmas, it may be your last”，这样的歌词基本就被弃用了。
       
       
         
        Have yourself a merry little Christmas
        by Judy Garland
       
        Have yourself a merry little Christmas
        Let your heart be light
        Next year all our troubles will be
        out of sight
        Have yourself a merry little Christmas
        Make the yule-tide gay
        Next year all our troubles will be
        miles away
        Once again as in olden days
        Happy golden days of yore
        Faithful friends who were dear to us
        Will be near to us once more
        Someday soon, we all will be together
        If the Fates allow
        Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
        So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
