Jingle Bells是一首圣诞歌曲,但最初并不是为 圣诞节 所写,而是为感恩节所作的。1857年,词曲作家詹姆斯•罗德•皮尔彭特(James Lord Pierpont)的父亲在波士顿一所学校任职。这首歌是吉米写给父亲的学生们,帮助学生们参加感恩节演出用的。歌中唱道:“雪橇奔驰在雪地上,我们欢笑一路上,铃声儿响彻四方,我们情绪高涨,笑得多开心,雪橇之歌今夜唱。叮叮当,叮叮当,铃儿响叮当……”明快的旋律、欢乐的场景、动人的童声合唱,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。
Jingle Bells歌词:
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
叮叮当!叮叮当!铃儿响叮当,我们在敞篷雪橇上滑雪多快乐。
Dashing through the snow冲破大风雪
In a one horse open sleigh我们坐在雪橇上
O'er the fields we go飞驰过田野
Laughing all the way 一直伴随着笑声
The bells on bobtail ring马尾铃铛响着
Making ourspirits bright精神多欢畅
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
今晚滑雪真快乐把滑雪歌儿唱
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
叮当!叮叮当!铃儿响叮当,我们在雪橇上滑雪多快乐。
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride 一两天之前 我想乘雪橇外出
And soon Miss Fanny Bright 然后光明小姐姐来了
Was seated by my side 坐在我身旁
The horse was lean and lank 马儿瘦又弱
Misfortune seemed his lot 它的命运多灾难
He ran into a drifted bank, and then we got upsot 它陷进了雪堆中 害的我们遭了殃
Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bellsJingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to rideIn a one horse open sleigh

And sing this sleighing song 唱着雪橇歌

Hitch him to an open sleigh系在敞蓬雪车上
And crack you'll take the lead 挥舞马鞭 一马当先
