听歌学英语:Somewhere over the rainbow(Aselin Debison)

Aselin Debison是一个来自加拿大的12岁小女孩，凭借着蜜糖般的声音，和着优美的民间音乐，演唱着一支支纯真而又充满希望的歌。 Aselin用歌声描绘着人们的希望，“和平”、“自然”都是她演唱的主题，她用歌声向人们请求，请求他们注意这个世界的美丽，因为只有你注意到了这份美丽之后，你才不会残忍地将它作为商业开发地。今天我们学习的这首“Somewhere over the rainbow”收录在她十二岁那年所发的专辑“Sweet is the melody”中。这首歌表达了作者对美好生活的憧憬，愿生活是美好的，处处像仙境一样。

　　Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star, and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney¹ tops, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
Well I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom² for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

 
Well I see skies of blue and clouds of white and the brightness³ of day
I like the dark and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky are also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying,
How do you do?
They're really saying, I a..." I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

　　Someday I'll wish upon a star, wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
And the dreams that you dare to, oh why, oh why can't I?
