披頭四(Beatles)的代表作「黃色潛水艇(Yellow Submarine)」將成為英國所有兒童都要學會唱的歌曲,因為這首歌已被納入音樂教科書中。

英國經典搖滾樂團披頭四的唱片品牌蘋果唱片宣布,披頭四在36年前所演唱、創作的歌曲「黃色潛水艇」,因充滿幻想的卡通風格,已確定將成為兒童音樂教科書的內容,讓每個英國小朋友都能學會唱這首歌。

收入這首歌的兒童音樂教材將在9月上市,之所以會選擇這首歌,是因出版社Walker Books從披頭四在1999年推出的數位重建版的DVD獲得的靈感,這部DVD是重現1968年的經典原創版本。

「黃色潛水艇」是一部60年代的幻想電影,由當時紅透半邊天的搖滾樂團披頭四創作了電影的同名主題曲,蘋果唱片表示,這首歌有著超越年代的魅力,在40年後,仍然適合讓孩子們聆聽、學習。「黃色潛水艇」在1966年發行單曲,在英國、澳洲、加拿大、德國、荷蘭等國家都轟動一時,也曾經被翻唱為各種語言的版本,包括德語、拉丁語,更成為美國反對越戰的歌曲。

 


   聽聽看 Yellow Submarine

 

In the town where I was born

Lived a man who sailed to sea

And he told us of his life

In the land of submarines

 

So we sailed up to the sun

Till we found the sea of green

And we lived beneath the waves

In our yellow submarine

 

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

 

And our friends are all on board

Many more of them live next door

And the band begins to play

 

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

 

As we live a life of ease

Everyone of us has all we need

Sky of blue and sea of green

In our yellow submarine.

 

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

 

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

We all live in our yellow submarine,

Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
