Catherine's Open House

 
我很喜歡的一首英文歌--- Country Roads Take Me Home
教小朋友唱，分三堂課，每次納入課堂中只唱10分鐘，他們很快就會了。
享受音樂，欣賞歌詞，是一件很幸福的事。
孩子們年紀還輕，他們的生活經驗裡，有許多事情還沒經歷過，但是一樣能欣賞歌詞意境之美。
這首歌曲描繪的思念故鄉之情，其實是很深刻的。
我不確定孩子們能體會多少，但是我知道他們喜歡旋律，一下子就愛上了。
我自己也很enjoy和他們一起唱這首歌，並一起揣摩那份還沒經歷過的，牽動人心的鄉愁。


Lyrics:

Almost heaven, west virginia
Blue ridge mountains, shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my mem'ries, gather 'round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls to me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin' down the road I get a feeling'
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads
