Merry X'mas !
たーさんです。
季節限定の絵柄に変えてみました。
あちこちに長期出張で出ていたにも関わらず、クリスマスイブだけは静かに
日本で過ごせたというのは幸運です。
欧米もクリスマス休暇に入って、金曜日の午後からはとても静かです。
とはいえ、中国駐在の方々は、最後の追い込みらしく、相変わらずあちこちからメールや電話が・・・。ご苦労様です。さすがに今日ばかりは、バタークリームのケーキで一杯やっていることでしょう。
クリスマスソングといえば、数々ありますが、やはり、定番が一番落着くわけでして、ワムのラストクリスマスもすっかりその一つになってしまったようです。
それぞれの国によって、街中にかかっている曲に少しは差がありますが、次の４曲だけはどの国でも当たり前に聞かれます。
SILENT NIGHT
Silent night, Holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Silent night, Holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ, the Savior is born
Christ, the Savior is born
Silent night, Holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy Holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at thy birth
LAST CHRISTMAS
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well,
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it,
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.
WHITE CHRISTMAS
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
JINGLE BELLS
Dashing through the snow,
In a one horse Open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bell's on the bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright;
What fun it to ride and sing
a sleghing song tonight!
Jingle, bells! Jingle, bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride, In a One horse open sleigh!
Jingle, bells! Jingle, bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride, In a one horse open sleigh!
明日からは年末までは忘年会が目白押しです。
皆様もご自愛下さい。
