Happy Christmas

クリスマス・イブですね。
12月8日と同じく、ここ最近は毎年のようにいろいろ書いてます。
あ、内容はクリスマスについて思うことですよ、もちろん。

ですが、今年は明日にまわします。
その代わり、私にとってのビートルズ・イヤーの締めくくり（？）としてこの歌を載せることにします。

キリスト教徒の人もそうじゃない人も、ちょっとだけ、愛と平和について考えてみませんか……



『Happy Christmas (War Is Over)』　　――by John Lennon


So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (War is Over, if you want it, war is over now)repeat with verse
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The road is so long
So happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (War is over, if you want it, war is over now) repeat with verse
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
And we hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Merry Christmas
