금발의 제니는 미국의 작곡가
스티븐 포스터가 1854년에 작곡한 음악입니다.
그러니까 곡이 만들어진지는 올해가 152년이 되었네요.
제니는 그의 아내인데 한적하게 냇가를 거니는
아내의 모습을 보면서작곡한 곡이라고 합니다
한송이 들국화같은 제니
바람에 금발 나부끼면서
오늘도 예쁜 미소를 보내며
굽이치는 강언덕 달려오네
구슬같은 제니의 노래소리에
작은새도 가지에서 노래해
아! 한송이 들국화같은 제니
금발머리 나부끼며 웃음짓네
I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Borne, like a vapor, on the summer air:
I see her tripping where the bright streams play,
Happy as the daisies that dance on her way.
Many were the wild notes her merry voice would pour,
Many were the blithe birds that warbled them o뭙r:
Oh! I dream of Jeanie with the light brown hair;
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
I long for Jeanie with the daydawn smile,
Radiant in gladness, warm with winning guile;
I hear her melodies, like joys gone by,
Sighing round my heart o뭙r the fond hopes that die:
Sighing like the night wind and sobbing like the rain,
Waiting for the lost one that comes not again:
Oh! I long for Jeanie, and my heart bows low,
Never more to find her where the bright waters flow.
I sigh for Jeanie, but her light form strayed
Far from the fond hearts round her native glade;
Her smiles have vanished and her sweet songs flown,
Flitting like the dreams that have cheered us and gone.
Now the nodding wild flowers may wither on the shore
While her gentle fingers will cull them no more:
Oh! I sigh for Jeanie with the light brown hair,
Floating, like a vapor, on the soft summer air.
