為 Christmas Concert 準備
Y頭12月12日和13日要在學校的Christmas Concert表演, 小小的她要演基督馬槽故事中的牧羊人. 我和Y爸己經買好票 (一人50P)了.
上學後, Y頭放學回來後常在唱歌. 最近改唱耶誕歌了. 她常唱著, 唱著到忘的地方就問我知不知道怎麼唱, 這時, 萬能的媽也只能搖頭, 因為耶誕歌我只知道"We wish you a merry Christmas"和"Jingle Bell". 上星期, 學校發了一張邀請函,邀請家長參加學校的Christmas Concert. 我問Y頭是怎麼回事, 她告訴我她要演基督馬槽故事中的牧羊人. 這下子, Y媽担心了, 雖然Y頭告訴我老師有教她們基督的故事,也告訴我故事的內容, Y媽還是立刻去書店買了本兒童的基督故事書, 再努力上網靠著歌詞找到了主要二首歌的歌詞(另外一首找不到), 也上iTune幫她買了曲子, 讓她在家聽. 總是第一次的表演,還是努力準備一下.
PS.不過才開始講英文的她(9月到現在), 怎麼可以記得起來這些歌詞, 真是羨慕…….
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

Little Donkey
Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load
Been a long time, little donkey, through the winters night
Don’t give up now, little donkey,
Bethlehem’s in sight
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary safely on her way
Little donkey, little donkey, journey's end is near
There are wisemen waiting for a sign to bring them here
Do not falter little donkey, there's a star ahead
It will guide you, little donkey, to a cattle shed
Ring out those bells tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Follow that star tonight
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Little donkey, little donkey, had a heavy day
Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on her way
Little donkey, carry Mary, safely on her way
