White Winter Hymnal (Cover)

About the Song

This is my cover of "White Winter Hymnal," originally released on Fleet Foxes' debut album in 2008. While widely known as a Christmas song with most covers featuring a hymnal style, I've arranged it with a more groovy approach, bringing new energy to this beautifully harmonious winter song.

Although often interpreted as a Christmas song due to its winter imagery, it's actually a unique piece that can be enjoyed throughout the winter season. Not only is the melody wonderful, but the distinctive "Ooh" sections without lyrics are particularly memorable and captivating.

White Winter Hymnal

I was following the
I was following the
I was following the
I was following the

I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And Michael you would fall
And turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime

OooOooOOoOoooOooooOOOOOOOOOOO

※日本語意訳

私は付いて行った
私は付いて行った
私は付いて行った
私は付いて行った

私は群れについて行った
みんなコートに包まれて
赤いスカーフを首に巻いて
小さな頭が
雪の中に落ちないように
振り返ると、そこで
マイケル、君は倒れて
白い雪を
夏のイチゴのように赤く染めた

OooOooOOoOoooOooooOOOOOOOOOOO
