Happy Xmas And a happy New Year(War Is Over)~Sarah McLachlan

Happy Xmas (War Is Over) 是John Lennon和他的日本妻子Yoko Ono大野 洋子，於1971在紐約創作的。當時是為反對美國越戰的抗議歌曲，如今成了很標準聖誕歌曲。John Lennon和他妻子Yoko Ono為反對美國越戰，於1969年開始發動了一場國際性的反戰抗議活動，租用了世界11大城市許多壁板，寫上“WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It) Happy Christmas from John and Yoko"，也就是後來這首歌中童聲唱的歌詞：“War is over/If you want it/War is over/Now!”, 這11大城市包括紐約、東京、羅馬、雅典、阿姆斯特丹和倫敦等。 2006 年10月，加拿大著名歌手Sarah McLachlan在她的第17張專輯中翻唱了這首歌，使得這首老歌煥發了青春。歌中的童聲是由Sarah McLachlan音樂外展兒童合唱團演唱的。

Come Together

norwegian wood

I once had a girl, or should I say,

she once had me...She showed me her room,

isn't it good, norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay and she told me to sit anywhere,

So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a chair.
I sat on a rug, biding my time,

drinking her wine

We talked until two and then she said,

"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh.

I told her I didn't and crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke, I was alone,

this bird had flown

So I lit a fire, isn't it good,

norwegian wood.

When I'm 64

When I get older losing my hair

Many years from now

Will you still be sending me a valentine

Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three

Would you lock the door?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me

When I'm sixty-four?
You'll be older too

And if you say the word

I could stay with you
I could be handy, mending a fuse

When your lights have gone

You can knit a sweater by the fireside

Sunday mornings go for a ride

Doing the garden, digging the weeds

Who could ask for more?

Will you still need me,

will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight

If it's not too dear

We shall scrimp and save

Grandchildren on your knee

Vera, Chuck & Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a line

Stating point of view

Indicate precisely what you mean to say

Yours sincerely, wasting away

Give me your answer, fill in a form

Mine for evermore

Will you still need me, will you still feed me

When I'm sixty-four? Ho!

And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas

Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)

War is over now
