Don't worry, be happy.- Galaxy song

[김명순(WDC)]

Bobby McFerrin/Don't worry, be happy.




"당신이 남들에게 실망하고, 생활에 지치고 힘들 때에는,, 보세요, 저 밤하늘을.." 

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

(Galaxy Song / Monty Python, ´The Meaning Of Life´ 영화 클립)



다섯곡으로 구성된 Elgar (1857-1934)의 '위풍당당 행진곡'은 영국 에드워드 7세의대관식을 위해 원래 작곡되었던 곡인데, 'Pomp and Circumstance March ' 란 제목은 셰익스피어의 희곡 '오텔로'에서 인용된 것이라고 합니다.
1901년, 첫곡이 연주되었을 때 국왕 에드워드 7세가 힘차고 그 아름다운 선율에 감격하여 가사를 붙이라고 권유했고 그에 따라 제1번에 벤슨의  '희망과 영광의 나라' (Land of hope and glory) 란 시가 붙여졌다 합니다.
1907년에 초연된 제4번의 트리오 부분에는 "모든 사람은 자유로워야 하며…" 로 시작하는 A.P. Herbert의 시가 붙여져서 더욱 유명하게 되었답니다.

Land of Hope and Glory

Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet!

[김정희(뉴욕)]

작품의 모델들의 모습이 찰떡 궁합이네요! 그 중에서도 첫번 선수들은 상 찰떡 궁합으로, 무척 구엽습니다!
