(英語の歌♪33) Peace on Earth

地球に平和を

クリスマスソングの一つに、「ラパパンパン」とドラムの音を歌うLittle Drummer Boyという曲があります。 この曲をビング・クロスビーが口ずさみ、そこにPeace on Eathという印象的なメロディーをデヴィッド・ボウイがかぶせて歌うという、なんともゴージャスな顔合わせの動画をYouTubeで発見しました。”Peace on Earth, Can it be? Years from now, perhaps we’ll see, see the day of glory, see the day when men of good will, live in peace, live in peace again”「地球に平和を 可能だろうか? 待ち望もう 栄光の日を 善意の人々が再び平和に生きる日を」心から願います。世界中の人々がよいクリスマスを迎えられる日がくることを。Happy Holidays!

Peace on Earth / Little Drummer Boy
by Katherine Kennicott Davis, Ian Fraser, Larry Grossman, and Alan Kohan

Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum”

Peace on earth, can it be
Years from now, perhaps we’ll see
See the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on earth, can it be
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can

I pray my wish will come true
For my child and your child too
He’ll see the day of glory
See the day when men of good will
Live in peace, live in peace again

Peace on earth, can it be
Can it be
