    Wish everyone coming here to Helen's ESL Cafe a merry Christmas~~~ ^_^


    “平安夜,圣善夜。万暗中,光华射,照着圣母也照着圣婴。圣洁婴儿多么纯真、多么可爱,静享天赐安眠,静享天赐安眠……”

    说到圣诞歌曲,大概没有哪首能比这首“Silent Night”(《平安夜》) 更广为人知的了。甚至是,受启于它美丽的意境,我们中国人时常把“圣诞节前夕”称作“平安夜”。

    据说,《平安夜》诞生于奥地利一个名叫Oberndorf的村子里,那里居住着许多艺术天才。每年圣诞前夕,村子里就会举行大型的圣诞晚会,在做弥撒时唱许多圣诞歌曲,以此感激耶稣的降临。

    1918 年圣诞节前一天,牧师Joseph Mohr(约瑟夫·马赫)发现教堂里的管风琴被可恶的大老鼠咬坏了。夜幕降临,他难过地走在乡间小路上,当看到银色的月光撒满整个湖面,一种平安、祥和以及感激之情霎那间充盈心灵。想到一千多年前,耶稣降临时同样没有管风琴伴奏,天使们却能吟唱出世界上最动听的歌曲……于是,这首如今几乎成为圣诞节官方 “节歌”的《平安夜》就这样默无声息地诞生了。后来,它由奥地利传入德国,随即风靡全球。


    再现“Silent Night”的名家不计其数,Helen这里还是推荐Celtic Woman演唱的版本,Hope you will enjoy the beautiful and soothing voice.

    Merry Christmas to Everyone~~

    Lyrics

    Silent night, holy night
    All is calm, all is bright
    Round your Virgin Mother and Child
    Holy Infant so tender and mild
    Sleep in heavenly peace
    Sleep in heavenly peace

    Silent night, holy night
    Son of God, love's pure light
    Radiant beams from Thy holy face
    With the dawn of redeeming grace
    Christ, the Saviour is born
    Christ, the Saviour is born

    (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)

    评论

  • 第三句\'your virgin mother\' 应为 YOUNG, 由于是歌词,写为YON.
    第二段结尾两句为Jesus Lord at thy birth
    Hallelujah, 歌词中写为allelujah
    二三两段顺序一般颠倒过来
    另:我本人在圣诞夜于英国某教堂亲自演绎了这首歌,相信我,没错的
