Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas也許是最為耳熟能詳?shù)氖フQ歌曲之一了,它簡(jiǎn)單的歌詞和優(yōu)美略帶傷感的旋律深深打動(dòng)了人心。然而很少有人知道這首歌的原唱其實(shí)是著名童星Judy Garland,她率先在影片《Meet Me in St. Louis》中對(duì)著劇中的女兒動(dòng)情演繹了這首歌曲,催人淚下。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)Judy的這個(gè)版本歌詞和我們聽到的很有些不一樣,更為憂傷;而之后Frank Sinatra翻唱的一個(gè)爵士樂(lè)版則是我們更常聽到的版本。其實(shí)歌曲創(chuàng)作時(shí)的原詞更為情緒低落,唱著“Have yourself a merry little Christmas, it may be your last”,這樣的歌詞基本就被棄用了。

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.
