跟囚犯无关,因为这里说的是伦敦桥,不是伦敦塔
这首歌最早的书面记载是1744年,在一本名为Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book 的书出现。
1823年The Gentlemen's Magazine 的一名男性读者的回信也提到孩提时曾经听过一名妇女唱到:
London Bridge is broken down(注意:歌词有变,后来的版本是“falling down”,也就是“正在倒下来”,在这里是“已经倒踏”,有趣的是:后世的版本反而是“正在倒下来”。)
With a Gay lady.
这首歌的寓意因为年代久远已经没有人说的清了。而且这首歌在欧洲几个国家都有相应的版本。所以各地的寓意应该都有不同。基本上很明显有述说当年筑桥艰辛,以及该桥命途坎坷的含义。
现在所见的伦敦桥已经是第三个改建版本,1973年落成,其实只是在同一位置用同一个名字而已。
第一条伦敦桥是木质构造,两千年前(50AD)的罗马时期就有了。不过这条桥很短命,五年后就毁于战乱。
第二条桥是砖建的,1014年被侵略英国的维京王Olaf拆毁。目的是将英国一分为二,阻断两地的交通。这首歌据说就是当时开始流传开来的。
至于里面的fair lady有两种说法
1。古代建桥基于迷信,落成后会将一名*杀死奉献给上天,然后尸体埋在地基里。
2。指的是该桥过桥税的获益人,也就是英国皇后。(这是古代的安排,过桥费是皇后的个人收入)
以下是1950年的版本
