Twelve Gifts, my true love sent to me: |
フォートナム・メイソン(百貨店)、今年のクリスマス・ディスプレイのテーマは、イングリッシュ・クリスマス・キャロルとして知られる(マザーグースの歌)「クリスマスの十二夜」。 As the Christmas show windows of Fortnum & Mason, they show us the wonderful world every year, and the team for this year is 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' which is well-known as English Christmas carol and a children's rhyme. 店の前は、(私も含め)カメラを構える人が多く、足が止まってしまうのも無理ありません。 Many people (including me), who were fascinated the window display, stopped to take a photo in front of windows. この「クリスマスの十二夜」の歌は、プレゼントが一日一日、一つずつ増えていくことを歌っています。最初の人のプレゼントを繰り返して、さらにクリマスとしてのプレゼントを一つ加えて、次の人にパスするゲームのような歌で、子どもは楽しいのです。 In the seasonally popular song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, presents are sent every day for 12 days one by one. (total 12 gifts) In this song, one person gives another person succeedingly greater and more numerous presents each day of the Christmas season, so children repeat gifts for each day as detailed in the verses of the song. On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me A partridge in a pear tree. On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree. On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Twelve drummers drumming, Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree! 去年のクリスマス・ディスプレイのテーマは、英国を代表する物語「不思議の国のアリス」、一昨年は英国を代表する作家チャールズ・ディケンズの「クリスマス・キャロル」。この made in England にこだわった姿勢が好きです。 The Christmas windows were 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' last year (English writer, Lewis Carroll) and 'Christmas Carol' a year before last year (one of the English greatest writers, Charles Dickens). I love their attachment attitude to made in England. |
