Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas ist ein Weihnachtslied, welches erstmals 1944 von Judy Garland im Musical Meet Me in St. Louis vorgestellt wurde. Frank Sinatra nahm später eine weitere Version des Liedes mit einem erweiterten Text auf, welche heute die berühmtere Version ist.

Geschichte

Das Lied erschien erstmals in einer Szene des Musicals Meet Me in St. Louis, in der eine Familie bestürzt über die Pläne des Vaters wegen eines Jobs nach New York City aus St. Louis zu ziehen ist. In einer Szene, die am Weihnachtsabend spielt, singt Judy Garlands Charakter, Esther, für ihre fünfjährige, mutlose Schwester, Tootie (gespielt von Margaret O'Brien), das Lied, um diese aufzumuntern.

Text

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, it may be your last,
Next year we may all be living in the past
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, pop that champagne cork,
Next year we will all be living in New York.

No good times like the olden days, happy golden days of yore,
Faithful friends who were dear to us, will be near to us no more.

But at least we all will be together, if the Fates allow,
From now on we'll have to muddle through somehow.
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
