「兩週一聚: 小朋友」之【兒童歌曲(二)】/ 「Bi-weekly Series: Children」 - 【Songs for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers (2)】

在搖籃曲lullaby中,我比較喜欢的是一首十七世紀的英國民歌【薰衣草藍】Lavender Blue,根據「粵語維基百科」: “... 首歌二十世紀風行一時，係拜1948年迪士尼套片So Dear to My Heart所賜。套年用首歌做主題曲，由Burl Ives所唱。呢首亦係Ives第一首金曲。之後好多歌手都翻唱呢首歌。...”我在YouTube 处找到了這卡通片的舊版本: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcvQcPatQdQ



【薰衣草藍】的歌詞如下:

Lavender Blue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavender_Blue)

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green,
When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen.
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so.
Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work,
Some with a rake, dilly, dilly, some with a fork.
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to thresh corn,
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, lavender's blue,
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, and the lambs play,
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way.
I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing,
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, you'll be my king.
Who told me so, dilly, dilly, who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so.
