노란 장미
노란 장미를 보면
오랜 전
미국의 남성 합창단인
미치 밀러합창단(Mitch Miller And The Gang)이 불러 인기가 있었던
The Yellow rose of Texas (텍사스의 노란 장미)가 떠오릅니다.
원래 이 곡은
1850년대부터 불렸던
미국의 전통적인 포크송이었다고 합니다.
위키피디아(Wikipedia)에 의하면
자신을 '다키(darkey)'라고 부르는
아프리카계 미국인 가수의 관점에서
텍사스의 노란 장미로 표현된
'노란 소녀'에게 돌아가기를 갈망하는 노래라고 합니다.
노란 소녀는 아프리카계 미국인과
유럽계 미국인 사이에 태어난
피부색이 옅은 혼혈 여성을 의미합니다.
노란 장미의 꽃말은
'영원한 사랑', '우정' 등이 있습니다.
텍사스의 노란 장미 The yellow rose of Texas
There's a yellow rose in Texas that I am gonna see
Nobody else could miss her, not half as much as me
She cried so when I left her, it like to broke my heart
And if I ever find her we never move apart
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
Where the Rio Grande is flowin', and starry skies are bright
She walks along the river in the quiet summer night
I know that she remembers when we parted long ago
I promised to return and not to leave her so
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
Oh, now I'm gonna find her, for my heart is full of woe
We'll do the things together we did so long ago
We'll play the banjo gaily, she'll love me like before
And the Yellow Rose of Texas shall be mine forevermore
She's the sweetest little rosebud that Texas ever knew
Her eyes are bright as diamonds, they sparkle like the dew
You may talk about your Clementine and sing of Rosa Lee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
