Legenda jazz dari Amerika Serikat Frank Sinatra menyanyikan lagu “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” sekitar tahun 1950an dan masih menjadi salah satu lagu favorit yang menggambarkan suasana Natal berselimut salju.
Frank Sinatra pertama kali merilis album Natal “Christmas Songs by Sinatra” pada 1948. Label rekaman kemudian beberapa kali merilis ulang album itu dan menambah lagu baru, salah satunya rilisan 1957 dengan tambahan “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”.
Frank Sinatra bukan penyanyi yang pertama kali membawakan “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”, ialah Vaughn Monroe yang merekam lagu ciptaan Sammy Cahn dan Jule Styne tersebut sekitar 1945.
Meskipun lirik “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!” tidak secara spesifik menyebut Natal, lagu itu diasosiasikan sebagai perayaan Natal karena menceritakan kenyamanan dan kehangatan bersama orang-orang tersayang saat musim dingin, yang identik dengan Natal.
Lirik Frank Sinatra “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!”
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It doesn’t show signs of stopping
And I brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
When we finally kiss good-night
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we’re still good-bye-ing
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow https://jasonwiles.net
