Christmas carolling @ IFC

午飯時間經過 IFC ,遇上一班天真可愛的小朋友在 Starbucks 和 Canteen 前的空地報佳音。說實在,他們歌藝是談不上出眾,不竟都是一群小學一、二年級的孩子嘞;而且唱《Deck the Hall》的時候,大家不約而同地都忘了 「Fa la la la la」 之前的歌詞,結果聽來就成了小聲的「Lu lu lu ... 」然後是一眾幼童的高音尖叫「Fa la la la la」,好有趣 *,*

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la La la la la
'Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la La la la la
Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la La la la La la la
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, Fa la la la la La la la la

儘管不是十全十美,觀眾卻都樂在其中。有不少人隨著歌聲搖擺,拍照的人更多。

駐足了好一會才離開。因著歌聲,我終於有「聖誕節快來臨!」的感覺了 =)

《Mary's Boy Child》

Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's Boy Child, Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas Day
Hark, now hear the angels sing
"New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day."

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
And heard a choir from heaven sing
The music came from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing,
"New King's born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day."

Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Came to Bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her Child
Not a single room was in sight
By and by they found a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Mary's little Boy Child was born
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen to what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas Day
