Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
《铃儿响叮当》是皮尔彭特作词作曲的一首儿童歌曲,1857年美国波士顿假日学校的学生在教堂演唱了这首歌,后来成为一首脍炙人口的经典圣诞歌曲。
其明快的旋律、欢乐的场景使这首歌成为150年来最重要的圣诞节保留曲目,也是世界知名度最高的歌曲。轻松欢快的旋律,告诉我们:生活也许会让我们遭受磨难,但生活不会抛弃美好的心灵,生活总有美好一面。
去年偶尔读到,原来JingleBell那个铃儿响叮当其实是写给感恩节滴。后来也不知道为什么变成了圣诞歌曲。
据美国并不漫长的历史记载,1857年一个叫JamesLordPierpont的人写了这首歌,但是当时人家就摆明写给感恩节滴。这首歌的名字当初也不叫JingleBell,而是OneHorseOpenSleigh,你看这个词么,一匹马的、敞篷的雪橇。
这首歌曲当时在马赛诸塞州(就是哈佛大学所在的州,也是波士顿所在的州。——这个是普及美国地理知识而已,美国通们请pass过。),这种单匹敞篷马车很流行,如下图:
根据网络上查来的不靠谱历史称,19世纪时,在这首歌的诞生地——马赛诸塞州Medford小镇,上图这种雪橇比赛非常流行。不过呢,这首歌在1859年再版时,名字就变成了JingleBell。
上图就是JingleBell诞生地立碑为证。
所以,我们今天遵循古法,就在感恩节说说JingleBell,然后圣诞节的时候好好纠正一下jinglealltheway。
