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 melody¹”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。

[00:40.17]Somewhere over the rainbow
[00:44.86]Sweet is the melody
[01:02.82]Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
[01:14.44]And the dreams that you dream of once in a lullaby
