"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" legendarna božična pesem posneta v PianoRoomu

20.12.2017

Have Yourself A Mary Little Christmas - večna božična pesem, tokrat  naravnost iz PianoRooma v izvedbi odlične Urške Oreškič Šantavec.

"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", sta napisala Hugh Martin in Ralph Blane, prvič pa jo je predstavila Judy Garland leta  1944 v musikalu Meet Me in St. Louis. Frank Sinatra je nekoliko kasneje posnel dve priredbi s spremenjenim besedilom. V naslednjih desetletjih so jo posneli nešteti izvajalci, nazadnje tega decembra tudi slovenska pianistka, skladateljica in pevka Urška Oreškič Šantavec.

2007 je ASCAP pesem "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" na lestvici največkrat predvajanih božičnih pesmi uvrstil na tretje mesto. 

 

Primerjava besedil

 

Frank Sinatra's lyrics

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

From now on, all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the yule-tide gay

From now on, our troubles will be miles away

Here were are as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more 

 

Originalno besedilo, ki pa so ga zaradi pretirane otožnosti spremenili

 

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

It may be your last

Next year we may all be living in the past

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Pop that champagne cork

Next year we may all be living in New York

No good times like the olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who were dear to us

Will be near to us no more

But at least we all will be together

If the Lord allows

From now on, we'll have to muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
