Lyrics

Edelweiss

(雪绒花又名火绒草、薄雪草,英文名称为Edelweiss,长在海拔1700米以上的阿尔卑斯雪山上,是奥地利、瑞士的国花,它象征着勇敢。)

Edelweiss, Edelweiss  

雪绒花,雪绒花 

Every morning you greet me  

每天清晨欢迎我 

Small and white ,clean and bright  

小而白,纯又美 

You look happy to meet me  

看见你我多快乐 

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow

白雪般的雪绒花,我愿你永远生长开放

Bloom and grow forever 

请为我故乡永远吐露芬芳 

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

雪绒花,雪绒花

Bless my homeland forever

永远的为我的祖国祝福吧 

Appreciation 

   Edelweiss雪绒花,长在海拔1700米以上的阿尔卑斯雪山上,是奥地利及瑞士的国花,象征着纯洁勇敢。《Edelweiss》这首歌又被称为奥地利的非正式国歌,格调幽雅恬静,旋律优美动听。

Edelweiss,Edelweiss. Every morning you greet me. Small and white, clean and bright. You look happy to meet me.歌曲通过对这种美丽国花的歌颂,抒发了对大自然的热爱,表达了奥地利人民发自内心的质朴的爱乡之情,寄托了主人公对亲人、对家乡深深的怀念和祝福。

在影片中,《Edelweiss》的旋律多次响起,一次是上校在家中的演唱,上校用他那悠长的气息,低沉的声音温柔演唱,浪漫而温馨,给人以亲切温暖的感觉。另一次当拒绝为纳粹服务的上校准备冒险带全家离去时,他为家乡的父老乡亲们献上的,还是那首他最喜爱的《雪绒花》。但一曲未了,歌喉已哽咽。妻子玛丽亚默契地接唱下去,并带动全场观众加入大合唱,把全片推向最令人心潮澎湃的高潮,这次歌曲里包含着淡淡的忧伤。

Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow. Bloom and grow forever. Edelweiss, Edelweiss. Bless my homeland forever.整个音乐饱含着主人公对祖国深深的爱,这份爱不会消失,在奥地利人民心中绽放。表达了奥地利人民反对侵略的正义心声和不畏强暴的必胜信念。这首歌虽是小小的音乐道具,却对整部影片的中心起到了画龙点睛的重要作用。

2. The Sound of Music

The hills are alive with the sound of music

With songs they have sung for a thousand years

The hills fill my heart with the sound of music

My heart wants to sing every song it hears

My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds that rise from the lake to the trees

My heart wants to sigh like a chime (编钟) that flies from a church on a breeze

To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over stones on its way

To sing through the night like a lark (云雀) who is learning to pray

I go to the hills when my heart is lonely

I know I will hear what I’ve heard before

My heart will be blessed with the sound of music

And I’ll sing once more.

 

3. My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens (小猫咪的胡须)

Bright copper kettles (铜壶) and warm woolen mittens (毛线手套)

Brown paper packages (包装纸盒) tied up with strings

These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies (乳白色的小马) and crisp apples strudel (酥脆苹果馅卷饼)

Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel (炸牛肉片) with noodles

Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings

These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes (蓝绸腰带)

Snowflakes (雪片) that stay on my noseand eyelashes

Silver white winters that melt into springs (冰雪融化,春天来临)

These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites, when the bee stings (蛰), when I’m feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

And then I don’t feel so bad.

 

4. Climb Every Mountain

Climb every mountain

Search high and low

Follow every byway, every path you know

Climb every mountain

Ford every stream

Follow every rainbow ‘til you find your dream

A dream that will need all the love you can give

Every day of your life for as long as you live

Climb every mountain

Ford every stream

Follow every rainbow ‘til you find your dream.
