金曲｜Jingle Bells （完整版歌词！文末有彩蛋！！）

Believe it or not Jingle Bells, one of the most famous American Christmas songs, was originally written for Thanksgiving, but the sleigh bells in the Jingle Bells music made the song popular at Christmas! The author and composer of Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed the Jingle Bells song has been reprised ever since.

The essence of a traditional Christmas is captured in the Jingle Bells lyrics and the sound effects in the music using the sleighbells have become synonymous with the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus to the delight of children of all ages!

Jingle Bells Various Artists - 欢乐圣诞

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

[chorus]

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way.

Oh! what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way;

Oh! what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh.

Although less well-known than the opening, the remaining verses depict high-speed youthful fun.

In the second verse, the narrator takes a ride with a girl and loses control of the 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 then we got upsot.

[chorus]

In the next verse (which is often skipped), he falls out of the sleigh and a rival laughs at him.?

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.

[chorus]

In the last verse, after relating his experience, he gives equestrian advice to a friend to pick up some girls, find a faster horse, and take off at full speed.?

Now the ground is white

Go it while you're young,

Take the girls tonight

and sing this sleighing song;

Just get a bobtailed bay

Two forty as his speed

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.

[chorus]
