UNISCITI

Tra poco ci sarà la chiusura delle scuole per le vacanze natalizie e non sarà sempre facile tenere occupati i bambini. Passato il tempo delle decorazioni della casa possiamo intrattenere i più piccoli coinvolgendoli in lavoretti fai da te divertenti.

Un altro bel passatempo può essere anche imparare filastrocche e poesie e le tipiche e famosissime canzoni di Natale. Le più conosciute, anche in italiano, sono quasi sempre testi originali in lingua inglese.

Poiché le canzoni in italiano verranno di certo insegnate a scuola, è una buona idea insegnare ai bambini, a casa, il testo originale in inglese. Sarà molto divertente cantare queste canzoni tutti insieme, durante le cene e i pranzi in famiglia.

Vi proponiamo tre testi, tra i più semplici e conosciuti: Jingle bells, White Christmas e We wish you a merry Christmas.

Jingle bells

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh,
O Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank And there we got upsot.

A day or two ago The story I must tell
I went out on the snow And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You’ll take the lead.

White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones I used to know,
where the tree-tops glisten
and the children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
with ev’ry Christmas card I write:
may your days be merry and bright
and may all your Christmases be white.

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
with ev’ry Christmas card I write:
may your days be merry and bright
and may all your Christmases be white.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin;
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding;
Oh, bring us a figgy pudding and a cup of good cheer We won’t go until we get some;
We won’t go until we get some;
We won’t go until we get some, so bring some out here
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas;
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
