《Mary's Boy Child》是美国最著名的圣诞歌曲之一,中文名常被译为《玛利亚的小男孩》或《圣婴》。该曲由美国著名音乐人Jester Hairston[杰斯特·海尔斯顿,1901-2000]在1956年创作,同年由著名歌手Harry Belafonte[亨瑞·贝拉方特]演唱,并收录于由RCA Victor公司为贝拉方特出版的《An Evening with Belafonte》专辑中。作为一名非洲裔美国人,海尔斯顿所写下的这首圣诞歌曲能大获成功,成为音乐史上的一段佳话。该曲自问世以来,曾被改编成各种类别、无数个版本,最为出名的一个莫过于前西德迪斯科组合“Boney M”在1978年推出的《Mary's Boy Child-Oh My Lord》。
歌词
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Bible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live for evermore
Because of Christmas day
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a bright new shining star
They heard a choir sing a song
The music seemed to come from afar
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A newborn King today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Now, Joseph and his wife, Mary
Come to bethlehem that night
They found no place to bear her child
Not a single room was in sight
Hark, now hear the angels sing
A newborn King today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
