1、《Jingle Bells》
這首歌恐怕是最為人們熟悉的圣誕歌曲。可是這首歌最初并不是為 圣誕節(jié) 所寫,而是為感恩節(jié)所作的。
1857年,詞曲作家詹姆斯·羅德·皮爾彭特(James Lord Pierpont,25 April 1805 - 5 August 1886)的父親在波士頓一所學(xué)校任職。這首歌是吉米寫給父親的學(xué)生們,幫助學(xué)生們參加感恩節(jié)演出用的。歌中唱道:“雪橇奔馳在雪地上,我們歡笑一路上,鈴聲兒響徹四方,我們情緒高漲,笑得多開心,雪橇之歌今夜唱。叮叮當(dāng),叮叮當(dāng),鈴兒響叮當(dāng)……”明快的旋律、歡樂的場景、動人的童聲合唱,使這首歌成為150年來最重要的圣誕節(jié)保留曲目,也是世界知名度最高的歌曲。

Silent Night 音樂: Idina Menzel - Holiday Wishes
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant,so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born
Christ the Savior is born
3、《Yhe 12-day of Christmas》
這首歌的歌詞,表面上是講圣誕節(jié)的十二天里要做的事,看起來其實就只是一首很可愛的歌而已,好像沒有什么太大的含意在里面,其實,不只是這樣喔!
“圣誕節(jié)的十二日”可說是一首寓意極為深遠的“啟蒙歌曲”?!?/span>
這首圣誕歌最原始是由英國的天主教派所寫成,由于十六世紀之后的一兩百年,英格蘭的國會并不承認這個教派,所以他們依法不能傳教,或公開從事他們的信仰活動。在當(dāng)時,身為一位天主教徒可是違法的呢!被抓到之后,輕則牢獄之災(zāi),重則被砍頭或被吊死都有可能。 既然如此,天主教派應(yīng)該如何秘密傳教呢?
于是,他們便寫了這首歌!歌曲乍聽之下跟宗教完全不相干,只是在講十二天里要為圣誕節(jié)準備十二種禮物,其實,這十二種禮物暗示著天主教里十二種宗教上的含義,可以點開聽聽~
4、Hark! Herald Angles Sing
ho...
Hark the herald angels sing ,
'Glory to the new born King'
Peace on earth and mercy mild ,
God an sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise.
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
'Christ is born in Bethlehem'
Hark the herald angels sing
'Glory to the new born King'
Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;
hail the incarnate Diety
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel
Hark the herald angels sing,
'Glory to the new born King'
ah...ha...
ha...
Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace.
Hail the son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings,
risen with healing in His wings
Mild He lays His glory by,
born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth,
born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing
'Glory to the new born King'
5、White Christmas
'白色圣誕'根本已經(jīng)和圣誕節(jié)畫上等號的金曲,史上最為暢銷的圣誕流行歌曲!”——白色的雪花,白色的原野,圣誕老人的白胡子;圣誕卡片,圣誕祝?!荚诎咨氖フQ節(jié)!
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be white.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be white.

8、Angels We Have Heard On High
圣誕節(jié)時唱的贊美詩稱為“圣誕頌歌”。圣誕頌歌很多,詞曲多取自名家名作,這首《天使歌唱在高天》即是其中的一首!
Angels We Have Heard on High 音樂: Pentatonix - PTXmas (Deluxe Edition)Angels we have on heard high
Sweetly singing ore the plains
And the mountains in reply
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
9、Joy To The World
Joy to world, the lord is come;
Let earth receive her king.
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room
And heaven and nature sing ( 3x )
Charlotte Church
Joy to the world, the saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rock, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy (3x )
Nor thorns infest the ground.
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found ( 3x )
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nation prove
The glories of his righteouness
And wonder of his love ( 3x )
10、O Holy Night
這是法國一個酒場主1847年寫下的贊美詩,后流傳到美國,由波士頓一個牧師翻譯而成?,F(xiàn)在聽到的這個版本是由Mariah Carey重新詮釋的,蕩氣回腸。
除了這些,還有一些比較通俗的圣誕歌曲,例如《馬槽那邊》《這孩子是誰》《東邊走來三賢士》等等。
O Holy Night 音樂: Mariah Carey - Merry ChristmasO holy night!
The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of our dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
'Til He appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees!
O hear the angel voices!
O night divine,
O night when Christ was born;
O night divine,
O night, O night Divine.
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here come the wise men from Orient land.
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need,
to our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King!
Before Him lowly bend!
Behold your King,
Before Him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord!
O praise His Name forever,
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
His power and glory evermore proclaim.
