Do You Hear What I Hear (Bing Crosby)
Do You Hear What I Hear
美國總統歐巴馬剛宣布和古巴恢復邦交,
結束了從1962年因為蘇俄在古巴佈置飛彈引起的危機。
1962年10月美國和蘇俄幾乎因為此事大打出手,
Noël Regney和Gloria Shayne Baker這對音樂夫妻檔
乃合作寫了這首呼籲和平的聖誕歌,
由Harry Simeone Chorale 灌唱, 在1962年11月底出版,賣了二十五萬張。
隔年10月Bing Crosby 也灌唱出版單張, 更加轟動,成為暢銷曲。 也成為每年聖誕節期間常聽到的聖誕歌。
Do You Hear What I Hear
Words: Noël Regney, Tune: Gloria Shayne Baker
Said the night wind to the little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite,
With a tail as big as a kite.
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy,
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the the sea,
With a voice as big as the the sea.
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king,
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold,
Let us bring him silver and gold,
Let us bring him silver and gold.
Said the king to the people everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere,
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light,
He will bring us goodness and light.
