老頑童的心意

每逢佳節倍思親。在新春來臨之際，老頑童借花獻佛，從英文詩里選取一首

很多海外學人喜愛的《 Home, Sweet Home 》供品賞。

眾所周知，此詩後經作曲家R.比肖普譜成歌曲(為譜曲方便，原詩略有改動)，
傳遍世界，歷久不衰。

中國導演英達在電視連續劇《我愛我家》中以此(可惜原詞被“修理”得面目全非)
作為主題歌之一。

愛好詩、歌的朋友們，如果你們喜歡的話可留存作為資料。而如果你們有其它好材料的話，
也請網上奉獻一二，好嗎？

請各位多多指教。

祝各位春節快樂！

Home, Sweet Home

J. H. Payne

'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;
A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere.
Home, Home, sweet, sweet Home!
There's no place like Home!
There's no place like Home!

An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain;
Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again!
The birds singing gayly, that came at my
call, --
Give me them, --and the peace of mind, dearer than all!
There's no place like Home!
There's no place like Home!

How sweet 'tis to sit 'neath a fond father's smile,
And the cares of a mother to soothe and beguile!
Let others delight mid new pleasures to roam,
But give me, oh, give me, the pleasures of home!
Home! Home! sweet, sweet Home!
There's no place like Home!
There's no place like Home!

To thee I'll return, overburdened with care;
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there;
No more from that cottage again will I roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
Home I Home! sweet, sweet. Home I
Home! Home! sweet, sweet Home!
There's no place like Home!
There's no place like Home!
