Happy Merry Christmas for all

 

今日はクリスマスイブでした。ここ1ヶ月程、街中にたくさんのクリスマスソングが流れていましたが、その中でダントツに好きなのは、やはりJohn Lennonの「Happy Xmas（War Is Over）」。クリスマスソングの中でも、この曲だけは時期に関わらず一年中聞いています。好きというよりかは最早、心に突き刺さるというか、自分の意識の中にあるものを常に思い起こしてくれる曲と言ったほうが正しいですね。

 

So this is Christmas And what have you done
Another year over And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones The old and the young

A very merry Christmas And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The world is so wrong (Now)

And so happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let’s stop all the fight (Now)

And so this is Christmas (War is over)
And what have we done (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so happy Christmas (War is over)
I hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear one (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)

War is over
If you want it
War is over
Now

 

 

世界中、全ての人に神のご加護がありますように。
世界中、全ての人にとって今日という日が素敵なものでありますように。

 

Happy Merry Christmas
