Chi l'avrebbe mai detto? Anzichè fiorellini ed uccellini... l'arrivo di marzo e l'eccezionale ondata di freddo e neve hanno portato Margherita e Mariangela a scegliere di tradurre dal'inglese quella che è tradizionalmente considerata una canzone natalizia... (ma che in realtà di Natale non parla proprio).

The song of March
LET IT SNOW!
Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
When we finally kiss good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
When we finally kiss good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.
The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Qualche informazione e curiosità sul brano e sulla sua storia.
"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!",
also known as "Let It Snow", is a song written by
the lyricist Sammy Cahn and the Broadway songwriter Jule Styne in 1945.
It was
first recorded by Vaughn Monroe, and has since become a standard, with Patsy
Cline, Martina McBride, Garth Brooks, Herb Alpert, Chris Isaak, the Carpenters,
Carly Simon and Jessica Simpson just some of the artists to record it. Dean
Martin's version is one of the best known.
Although the song's lyrics make no mention of Christmas, it
is played on radio stations during the Christmas season and it’s often covered
by various artists on Christmas-themed albums. In the Southern Hemisphere, however, it
can be played during winter (June, July, August) and in New Zealand,
some play it at Matariki.
The song's about making the most of a snowy day by
spending it with a loved one by the fire.
In the book “Songwriters on Songwriting” by Paul Zollo, Sammy Cahn said:
"'Let It Snow' was written on Hollywood and Vine on the hottest day of the
year. I said to Jule Stein, 'Why don't we go down to the beach and cool off?'
He said, 'Why don't we stay here and write a winter song?' I went to the
typewriter. 'Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so
delightful, and since we've got no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let
it snow.' Now why three 'let it snow's'? Why not two or four? Because three is lyric.".
A version by Rod Stewart recorded for his 2012 holiday
album, “Merry Christmas, Baby”,
reached #1 on Billboard's adult contemporary chart.
Other recent versions of the song were covered by Michael
Bublè and Laura Pausini.
