Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
Gene Autry - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Os anos vão e vêm e a idade também. Mas, por mais tempo que passe, por mais canções que componham e inventem, esta continua imbatível: coroada em glória, no topo do Top das Minhas Favoritas de Natal.
... Simplesmente DE-LI-CI-O-SAAAAA!!!
Amo (mas, A-M-O de paixão!) o compasso que os sininhos e guizos em fundo vão marcando, pachorrentos e saltitantes, canção a fora!... Ao primeiro acorde já estou a ver Rudolph, a Rena-do-Nariz-Diferente, a trotar orgulhosamente pela neve, a levantar voo na noite e a ganhar os céus, rumo ao meu bairro, à minha chaminé, a parcar no parapeito da minha janela e a vir lamber os pés da minha cama com uma daquelas felicidades que não se explicam...
É divinal! É... Lindoooo!
The famous Christmas song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer started life as a poem created by an American advertising executive called Robert May. He was requested to produce a poem that could be given away to children by the Santa Claus employed by Department Stores at Christmas!
Working as an Advertising Executive Robert May had a natural flair with words and was able to compose the Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer poem which was specifically designed to appeal to children. This marketing ploy was a massive success and approximately 2.5 million Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer poems were given away in the first year of its publication!
In 1949 the singer Gene Autry recorded a musical version of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer composed by Johnny Marks.
