Chanson de Christmas<\/a>:\u00a0 Sleigh Ride – Promenade en Traineau<\/p>\n

Origin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sleigh Ride, also known as Promenade en pouleau, is a musical piece composed in 1946 by Leroy Anderson. The idea for this piece came to him during the month of July of that year, during a heat wave. However, it was not until February 1948 that he completed his work. The lyrics were written by Mitchell Paris two years later, in 1950.<\/p>\n

The instrumental version of Sleigh Ride was first recorded in 1949 by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra. Two subsequent versions were also recorded by the Boston Pops Orchestra, with John Williams, conductor from 1979 to 1995, and Keith Lockhart, current conductor. Leroy Anderson himself recorded the version he composed in 1950.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Although Sleigh Ride is often associated with Christmas, the song's lyrics make no reference to the religious holiday. In fact, the mention of "pumpkin pie" in the last verse suggests an association with Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Selon l\u2019ASCAP (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine des compositeurs, auteurs et \u00e9diteurs), Sleigh Ride se classe r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement dans le Top 10 de la plupart des chansons interpr\u00e9t\u00e9es au cours de la p\u00e9riode de No\u00ebl \u00e0 travers le monde<\/a> entier. Et selon l\u2019auteur Steve Metcalf, Sleigh Ride a \u00e9t\u00e9 jou\u00e9 et enregistr\u00e9 par un plus large \u00e9ventail de musiciens que n\u2019importe quel autre dans toute l\u2019histoire de la musique occidentale.<\/p>\n

Many artists and orchestras have performed and interpreted the famous Sleigh Ride. These include Bing Crosby, the Andrew Sisters, Ferrante & Teicher, Johnny Mathis, Ray Conniff, Ella Fitzgerald, the Ronettes, and Andy Williams. More recently, Kenny G, Andre Rieu, Spice Girls, Garth Brooks, and Chicago have all performed their own versions.<\/p>\n

Roch Voisine, C\u00e9line Dion, Ginette Reno, Fernand Gignac and Carmen Campagne are just a few of the many Quebec artists who have recorded the popular song "Promenade en sleigh" (Sleigh Ride).<\/p>\n

Sleigh Ride with Lyrics
\n<\/object><\/p>\n

Lyrics French version<\/strong><\/p>\n

The horse goes off at a trot
\nWith its bells
\nAnd the sleigh joyfully rolls down
\nAcross the hillsides.<\/p>\n

In the valley winter clings
\nBut the sky is blue
\nAh! How good it is to take a walk in the fresh air
\nLike lovers.<\/p>\n

Ho di up ho di up ho di up oh\u00e9, oh\u00e9 of the sleigh
\nWrap up warm in your coats
\nHo di up ho di up ho di up oh\u00e9, to keep warm
\nWe cuddle up against each other
\nLike two sparrows in a nest.<\/p>\n

It's wonderful to see it parade
\nLike a painted decor
\nBefore our eyes the white villages
\nAnd the little fir trees.
\nSometimes you scream because it leans a little
\nIt's the moment of terror
\nI smile, my heart is in love
\nAnd the tip of the nose is cold.<\/p>\n

The hitch has already taken
\nthe way back
\nWe will be surprised
\nBy the fall of day
\nFor it is the hour when the night
\nWithout noise flourishes
\nLike a flower
\nAnd the sky lights up
\nWhich changes color.<\/p>\n

But here is our house
\nWho waves to us from afar
\nIts light on the horizon
\nShimmers like a dot.
\nI already see myself near you
\nLaughter in the eyes, a happy heart
\nNear the big wood fire
\nWhich is burning and waiting for us.<\/p>\n

The horse goes off at a trot
\nWith its bells
\nAnd the sleigh joyfully rolls down
\nAcross the hillsides.<\/p>\n

In the valley winter clings
\nBut the sky is blue
\nAh! How good it is to take a walk in the fresh air
\nLike lovers.<\/p>\n

English version lyrics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just hear those sleigh bells jingle-ing
\nRing ting tingle-ing too
\nCome on, it's lovely weather
\nFor a sleigh ride together with you<\/p>\n

Outside the snow is falling
\nAnd friends are calling \u201cYou Hoo\u201d
\nCome on, it's lovely weather
\nFor a sleigh ride together with you<\/p>\n

Giddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap let's go
\nLet's look at the snow
\nWe're riding in a wonderland of snow
\nGiddy-yap giddy-yap giddy-yap it's big
\nJust holding your hand
\nWe're gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land<\/p>\n

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we
\nWe're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
\nLet's take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
\nCome on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you<\/p>\n

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
\nIt'll be the perfect ending of a perfect day
\nWe'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop
\nAt the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop
\nPop! Pop! Pop!<\/p>\n

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy
\nWhen they pass around the coffee and the pumpkin pie
\nIt'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
\nThese wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
