ख्रिसमसची दोन गाणी

सलोनी

काल ख्रिसमस बद्दल लिहिताना एक राहुन गेले लिहायचे. ख्रिसमसची गाणी खूपच छान असतात. मला विचारशील तर ख्रिसमस हा सण नसुन एक ऋतुच आहे. ख्रिश्चन विशेषत: कॅथॉलिक लोक धार्मिक दृष्टीने तो साजरा करतात. परंतु बव्हंशी अमेरिकन मंडळी केवळ वर्षभर काम करुन शेवटी हिवाळ्यात घरी सुटी साजरी करतात. आणि तसे करण्यात जो काही प्रेम जिव्हाळा आणि नाते आहे ते ख्रिसमसच्या गाण्यांमधुन खूप छान व्यक्त होते. तशी अनेक सुंदर गाणी आहेत. परंतु मला विशेष आवडणारी ही दोन आहेत. मला असे वाटते ख्रिसमसच्या काळातील आनंद, जवळीक, प्रेम, सुरक्षीतता या भावना या दोन गाण्यांमधुन अतिशय अचूक व्यक्त होतात. गाणी ऐकताना अर्थ समजुन ऐकली तर अजुनच ती हृदयाला भिडतात...

ता. क. - पैकी लेट इट स्नो गाणे तर लिहिले आहे ती माणसे ज्यू होती..

Let it snow
Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!



It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the most wonderful time of the year
With the kids jingle belling
And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer"
It's the most wonderful time of the year
It's the hap-happiest season of all
With those holiday greetings and gay happy meetings
When friends come to call
It's the hap- happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

There'll be parties for hosting
Marshmallows for toasting
And caroling out in the snow
There'll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the glories of
Christmases long, long ago

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time
It's the most wonderful time of the year
