美妙的世界

“What a wonderful world”, 这是很多人都熟悉的歌。在北美第一次听到这首歌还是在过第一个”感恩节－圣诞节” 季节的时候。记得当时正走在购物商城里，空气中弥漫着节日的气氛，这首歌就这么不经意地飘过来...... 一眨眼北美又进入了一年中最黄金的节日季节了，又用这首歌来伴随２００９年的最后时光，祝愿每一位邻居节日愉快!

这是一首１９６８的歌，所以演唱者不乏其人，不同的风格给人不同的感受。其中的三个:

经典的 Louis Armstrong 原唱
邓丽君版
这该算是最豪华的版本了: Sarah Brightman - Live from Las Vegas - What A Wonderful World



I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh yeah!

Thank you, Crasher.  Extraordinary Eva Cassidy! My favorite too. Here is another one of my favorites from her, for you to share: Eva Cassidy - Somewhere Over the Rainbow


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
In the land that I heard of
Once, once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds
Are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds
Are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

If happy little bluebirds fly
Above the rainbow
Why, oh why, can't I

对不住啊，这位骑马的妹妹，雷到您了。当时只是想放几个不同风格的版本。这三个都是颇有名气的歌手。

邓丽君家喻户晓了吧。

Sarah Brightman曾与刘欢联袂演唱2008北京奥运开幕式主题歌。她在34个国家获有总共160个金奖和铂金奖, 也是唯一一个同时登上Billboard古典音乐排行榜＃1和舞蹈排行榜＃1的艺术家。她有歌剧的背景，她的版本透着音乐剧夸张的特色。

黑人歌手Louis Armstrong 是一个有影响力的歌手，对爵士乐有着根本性的影响。这首歌的背景是当时有着严重种族和政治色彩的美国, 这首歌充满了乐观，给人希望。Louis Armstrong 用特有的沙哑的声音, 演唱出虽饱经风霜却依然豁达的乐观。他的录音在1999年入选 “Grammy Hall of Fame”。

这里还有一个很有乐趣的版本：
