(2) Anniversary Song

Anniversary Song

 

루마니아의 이오시프 이바노비치(Iosif Ivanovici 1845~1902)의 1880년 왈츠곡 ‘도나우강의 잔물결’을 1926 윤심덕이 ‘사의찬미’로 불렀고 1946년 미국의 Dinah Shore(1916~1994)는 ‘Anniversary Song’이란 제목으로 발표했다. 같은 제목으로 영국 Tom Jones도 박력있게 불러(1977년 앨범) Dinah Shire의 애잔한 창법과 비교가 된다. 

 

Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed,

We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said.

The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies

Except for the few that were there in your eyes.

 

Dear, as I held you so close in my arms,

Angels were singing a hymn to your charms,

Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low,

"My darling, I love you so."

 

The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn,

The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on.

Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime,

We'd find that our love is unaltered by time.

 

Dear, as I held you so close in my arms,

Angels were singing a hymn to your charms,

Two hearts gently beating were murmuring low,

"My darling, I love you so."
