Chapter 99: Two Birthday Songs (3/3, Added for the Elder's "Leisure")
Just when Murphy was secretly surprised that Yang Yi had really learned guitar, Yang Yi had already started his singing.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you......"
When the first sentence was sung, Murphy was a little surprised, there are birthday songs in this world, but they are not sung like this, and the expression is also a bit subtle, a bit like the kind of "I wish you a good life and Tianqi" in the previous Cantonese songs, where is it as straightforward as Yang Yi?
However, when he heard the second and third sentences, Murphy was happy: This Yang Yi, really, how did the lyrics repeat.
That's right, the birthday song is as simple as that, the lyrics are only one sentence, and then they are simply repeated, just a slight change in tone.
However, Xixi likes this kind of simple repetition, which is in line with the acceptance level of her age, like "Let_ it_ go", how long has Xixi learned with her father, and she can only sing the sentence "let_ it_ go" when she learns to learn.
“…… Happy Birthday" was repeated a few times, and Xi Xi was able to clap her little hands and hum along with a smile.
Yang Yi became interested, and in one repetition, it became an English lyric: "Happy_ birthday_ to_ you, Happy_ birthday_ to_ you......"
Murphy was stunned, it was really the first time she had heard Yang Yi speak English, although it was a simple repetition of a sentence, but Yang Yi's words were still very clear.
Especially birthday, the pronunciation of θ in the middle phonetic alphabet, many people who have learned it are not standard!
"He can speak English?" Murphy felt that his understanding of Yang Yi had been greatly subverted today.
She didn't suspect that Yang Yi hadn't studied English, after all, Yang Yi had only dropped out of high school for less than a year to join the army, and at least he had taken English classes in junior high school, right?
But Murphy knew that with Yang Yi's disdain for English and foreign countries, he might have forgotten how to say English after so long!
But now Yang Yi is singing English songs in a straight voice, which makes Murphy puzzled.
This series of surprises also made Murphy forget to find out who wrote the song, she had never heard it!
However, sometimes women will be cranky, this is not necessarily a bad thing, just like Murphy now, she herself found the answer to Yang Yi: "Is he the change he made for me?"
Naturally, he was embarrassed to ask, but thinking of Yang Yi's getting better and better personality and getting along with her attitude in the past two months, Murphy's heart, which is no longer a girl, also jumped like a deer colliding with her.
Here, Yang Yi had already finished singing, and Xi Xi happily clapped her little palms and cheered: "It's good!
Yang Yi smiled and reached out to high-five her daughter in celebration.
Then he handed the guitar to Murphy, although Murphy dodged his gaze a little shyly, but Yang Yi didn't care, he smiled: "It's your turn!"
When Murphy came to sing, Murphy was not reserved, she took the guitar generously, walked to the microphone heroically, and sat down.
"Let's sing a birthday song too!" Murphy looked at Xixi and smiled, "This is what Ma Ma sang on Ma Ma's birthday before!
Murphy's string of "hemp" seemed to be said smoothly, which made Yang Yi suddenly think of what he often said in the cross talk of his previous life, "There is a lama from the east, a mute from the west, and the lama is carrying a five-pound tart in his hand......"
It's a play in an instant!
"I like to listen to Ma Ma's songs!" Xi Xi laughed sweetly. Today is really amazing, Mom and Dad are revolving around her, just like the stars and the moon!
After a beautiful melody, Murphy hummed softly:
(PS: The following lyrics, a small part of Xiaohan is rewritten from a song "Birthday Gift" by Lin Zhiying, just read the lyrics~)
"There is a bouquet of flowers in my heart / dedicated to my beloved baby / I have watered my tears and grown up slowly with a smile ......"
Yang Yi's ears were very sharp, and he glanced at Murphy with some surprise, who was smiling and singing to Xixi while playing the guitar.
Murphy sings really well, but it is very different from her usual singing, no longer obsessed with using skills to render emotions, but really warm and natural!
"Accompany you through the sunshine and light rain / Accompany you through sadness and sweetness / Now I will plant it forever in your heart......"
This kind of warm birthday song is not as straightforward as Yang Yi sings, Yang Yi even believes that this lyric is so subtle that Xixi may not be able to understand it!
But the melody was very good, and the little girl sat in her chair and smiled silly, shook her head with her mother, and clapped her hands to the beat.
"Everyone has a blessing / Every birthday has a gift / My most beloved baby / I will give you the most beautiful blessing and the best gift ......"
"No matter how many wishes you have/No matter how many dreams you have/My gift is my heart, growing with you......"
At the end of the song, Xixi jumped up from her chair happily, she heard the gift from beginning to end, so she cheered and asked, "Then, what about my birthday present?"
Yang Yi was still immersed in Murphy's sweet singing, which was a rare way for Murphy to sing warmly, until he saw Murphy take out her gift to Xixi.
"Wait a minute! The gift can't be opened yet!" Yang Yi hurriedly stopped.
Sure enough, Yang Yi saw Murphy's disappointed little eyes, and Yang Yi glanced at her: What a gamble, I actually want to run away!
Murphy turned his head away angrily.
"Why?" Xixi's face was full of joy, and she stretched out her hand to receive the gift, but was stopped, and she asked unhappily, "Why don't you let the gift be opened?"
"Because I still have to eat cake!" Yang Yi reacted quickly and replied quickly.
"And the cake?" Xixi immediately put the gift behind her mind, she ran to her father's side with bright eyes, and took her father's hand, "There?" Xixi wants to eat cake!"
"Dad bring it right away!" Yang Yi comforted the little girl, and then said to Murphy, "Murphy, you go and turn off the lights." ”
"Can you not turn off the lights?" Xixi was afraid. The little girl said immediately.
Murphy also nodded violently, she was also afraid!
Yang Yi comforted helplessly: "It's not to turn off all the lights, just turn off the headlights, these lanterns are still there!"
Murphy still shook his head...... Forget it, let's come on, Yang Yi went to the door of the store and turned off the incandescent light, and then the figure disappeared into the darkness.
Although the front of the bar is flickering, it seems to be a shining star in the night sky, and it is a colorful kind, which is very beautiful, but Murphy and Xixi have no time to appreciate it.
"I'm afraid, what about Baba?" Xixi asked as she squeezed into her mother's arms.
Although Murphy was not too scared, she was also looking forward to Yang Yi's appearance, Xixi asked her where her father had gone, Murphy really didn't know, she didn't know where Yang Yi took the cake from, so she could only wait now.
Suddenly, a few candles flickered in the darkness ahead, and gradually, in the faint light of the colored lights, Murphy and Xixi both saw that a large cake was pushed over with a wheelbarrow.
