[캠프송]월칭마틸다-이동수 ( Write : 2003/04/15, hit :2758 )
캠프송으로 부르는 월칭마틸다입니다.
가사는 1895년 시인 Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson이 지은 시인데, 여기에 곡을 붙인
월칭마틸다(Waltzing Matilda)는 1977년까지 호주의 국가였으나, 1977년 국민투표에 의해 ‘Advance Australia Fair’ 43.2% (2,940,854), ‘Waltzing Matilda’ 28.3% (1,918,206), ‘God Save the Queen’ 18.7% (1,257,341), ‘Song of Australia’ 9.8% (652,858) 로 Advance Austrailia Fair로 결정되었으나, 이후 계속 국가로 애창되다가, 이 노래가 1984년 최종적으로 국가로 지정되었습니다.
그러나 아직까지도 호주의 '비공식적 국가'로 사랑받고 있습니다.
"Waltzing Matilda"
Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water hole
Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee
And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me'".
Up rode the Squatter a riding his thoroughbred
Up rode the Trooper - one, two, three
"Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me".
But the swagman he up and jumped in the water hole
Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree,
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
