MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN - 3/1 : The Beatles

MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN
一首傳統蘇格蘭民謠, 源出不詳, 最遠可稽查的是從1964年出版的 "American Song Treasury: 100 Favorites" 所記載: "Bring Back My Bonnie To Me 的單張樂譜於1870年已經在一些音樂書籍商店出售, 出版人是美國作曲家兼樂隊領班 Charles E. Pratt (1841-1902), 這是唯一有記錄的版本, 但他並沒有將作者名字印在樂譜上"。

"MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN" 這民謠自此流傳, 很多學校亦以此歌曲作音樂教材或團體合唱歌曲之一。至今天此曲除作兒歌外更被廣泛應用在不同場合或卡通電影配音等; 甚至是年青人或童軍 Boy Scout 營火活動的歌曲。

MY BONNIE LIES OVER THE OCEAN

THE CLASSIC NURSERY RHYME

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me

Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was there.

Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me

Blow the winds over the ocean
Blow the winds over the sea
Blow the winds over the ocean
To bring back my Bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me

The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
And brought back my Bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Bring back my Bonnie to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
