Gloria后来回忆说,“诺埃尔写了一首很美的歌,我则谱写了曲子。我们希望并祈祷,当圣诞节期间世界各地的教堂赞美耶稣,或唱起这首和平之歌时,它将提醒我们“孩子,夜里沉睡的孩子”来“给我们带来善良和光明 Goodness and light”。
2025 需要和平,从乌克兰到台湾海峡再到巴勒斯坦,希望新的一年给我们的歌友们带来许多 goodness and / or gold。
据说这一首歌有上百种的歌词或形式,俺今天试了下面两种,不知道哪一个好些。
1. 《Do you hear what I hear》简单版
2. 《Do you hear what I hear》长一点的
Said the night wind to the little lamb Do you see what I see Way up in the sky little lamb Do you see what I see A star, a star Dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepard boy Do you hear what I hear Ringing through the sky shepard boy Do you hear what I hear A song, a song High above the tree With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepard boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know In your palace wall mighty king Do you know what I know A child, a child Shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say Pray for peace people everywhere Listen to what I say The child, the child Sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light
The child, the child Sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light
1962年10月,移居到纽约许久的法国传奇人物,Noel Regney,诺埃尔·雷格尼,走在纽约市曼哈顿的街头, 由于苏联当时在古巴布置导弹, 危机的空气中弥漫着绝望的气息。没有人笑。
雷格尼经历过二战与德国人战争的恐怖。他知道濒临死亡的恐惧。他也怕在美国为自己建立的安全生活即将结束。
圣诞节本应是一个和平与友好的节日,但圣诞节即将来临。一位唱片制作人请诺埃尔·雷格尼写一首节日歌曲。
“我曾想过我永远不会写圣诞歌曲,”他回忆道。“圣诞节已经变得如此商业化。但当时正值古巴导弹危机。在录音室里,制作人正在听收音机,看我们是否被消灭了。在回家的路上,我看到两位母亲推着婴儿车。小天使们相视而笑。突然间,我的心情变得非同寻常。”
看到这些婴儿,诺埃尔·雷格尼心中充满了诗意。这些“小羊羔”让他想起了刚出生的羊羔。因此,这首歌的开头是“夜风对小羊羔说”。
诺埃尔一到家,就记下了歌词。然后他让会作曲的妻子Gloria为他的歌词谱曲。
Gloria后来回忆说,“诺埃尔写了一首很美的歌,我则谱写了曲子。我们希望并祈祷,当圣诞节期间世界各地的教堂赞美耶稣,或唱起这首和平之歌时,它将提醒我们“孩子,夜里沉睡的孩子”来“给我们带来善良和光明 Goodness and light”。
2025 需要和平,从乌克兰到台湾海峡再到巴勒斯坦,希望新的一年给我们的歌友们带来许多 goodness and / or gold。

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
