Jingle bells
Tout est revenu à la lectrice de Kim Roberti. Souvenirs d’enfance comme ctte chanson de Noël…
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight
{Refrain:}
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot
{au Refrain}
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away
{au Refrain}
Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you’ll take the lead
{au Refrain}
Dommage que je ne pige rien à l’anglais, mais j’ai comme un pressentiment que: « A day or two ago, the story I must tell » parle de l’histoire des mousquetaires et de Guillaume Tell.
Encore un ignorant qui ne sait pas que les uns sont Français et l’autre Suisse…
