춤추는 마틸다 / 호주민요

     

                                                                                 Opera House, Sydney, Australia 

 

       * 호주의 대표적인 민요로 '비공식 國歌'로 까지 불리는 <춤추는 마틸다>는

          80년대 학창시절에 해외 단파방송을 즐겨 듣던 시절, 호주국영 ABC방송

          의 시그널 뮤직이기도 했습니다. 

          그 경쾌하고 목가적인 경음악과, 끝부분 타조의 울음소리가 어우러진 시

          그널 뮤직은 지금도 잊혀지지 않는, 제가 그때까지 듣던 음악중 가장 환

          상적인 멜로디였습니다.  지금도 ABC방송의 시그널 뮤직은 그대로인지?..

          Waltzing Matilda  (춤추는 마틸다)

 

                           1. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,

   Under the shade of a coolibah tree,    

   And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled.     

   You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?

 

   [후 렴]

   Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

   You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me

   And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled.

   You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?  

       

               2. Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong.

  Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.

  And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag.

  You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

 

           3. Down came the squatter, mounted on his thorough-bred,

  Down came the troopers, one, two, three,

  Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?

  You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

 

               4. Up jumped the swagman sprang into the billabong,

  You'll never catch me alive, said he,

  And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,

  You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
