This is a serenade song that girls sing to boys. It was sung by for girls, how lovely!

Talking about serenade, I recalled the news that I saw during the earthquake, those about couples, wives and husbands, the moving love stories. After a girl was rescued, a reporter asked her boyfriend:”How would you think about your future after this time?” He said:”Our whole lives!”  They suffered from this disaster together and sure that they will have a happy life no matter how tough it will be. God bless them!

Piano: Are Wallin (B1), he is so quiet every day, I’ve never known that he can play the piano very well.

Solo: Sara Sjöberg (S1), she plays flute too and she is a doctor in the medical department. She can control her voice very well, always leads the right tone.

Lyrics:

The sleepy sound of a tea-time tide
Slaps at the rocks the sun has dried,
Too lazy, almost, to sink and lift
Round low peninsulas pink with thrift.
The water, enlarging shells and sand,
Grows greener emerald out from land

And brown over shadowy shelves below
The waving forests of seaweed show.

Here at my feet in the short cliff grass
Are shells, dried bladderwrack, broken glass,

Pale blue squills and yellow rock roses.
The next low ridge that we climb discloses

One more field for the sheep to graze
While, scarcely seen on this hottest of days,

Far to the eastward, over there,
Snowdon rises in pearl-grey air.

Multiple lark-song, whispering bents,
The thymy, turfy and salty scents

And filling in, brimming in, sparkling and free
The sweet susurration of incoming sea.

Please enjoy…

S2 has the melody in this song, and the chord is very important, but not very difficult.

I have not found so many introductions about this song, and the lyrics are very interesting. “In spite of her that will have none” is a bit strange, I don’t understand, if you know, please tell me.

Mother, I will have a husband,
And I will have him out of hand.
Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.

John a Dun should have had me long ere this,
He said I had good lips to kiss
Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.

For I have heard ’tis trim when folks do love.
By good Sir John I swear now I will prove.
For Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.

To the town there fore will I gad,
To get me a husband good or bad.

Mother, I will have a husband,
And I will have him out of hand.
Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.

Enjoy!

曲名: Serenad för Två

前两天忙毕业答辩的事，忙得不可开交，终于结束了，答辩进行得很顺利，终于又毕业了，真不想离开学校。还好还会继续留在合唱团，有机会常到学校走走。

下面到正题，这首曲子是一首男女对唱的情歌，是 MK 里的 Hans Eriksson 作曲，KK 里的 Malin Brus 作词，要是没记错的话赢得了07年团里原创比赛的第三名。

据我所知，中国还没有类似情歌的合唱曲目（如果有，麻烦哪位告诉我一下），而传统的情歌对唱的曲子也是男女各一句，不过记得83＜射雕＞的一些主题曲是男 女二重唱的，不知道算不算。我们唱的时候，男女声对立而站，男女分别唱主旋律，并各自为对方伴奏，很是动听，不用想她的词，凭着乐曲，就能让人痴迷，陶 醉，情意绵绵了。
