每個人都有自己的夏日故事。寫歌者會把自己的夏日經驗寫到歌曲裡頭。例如蘭恩‧薛爾德 (Ren Shields) 在他的歌曲快樂的夏季時光 (Good Old Summertime1902) 就這樣寫著:

那是每年我們擁抱彼此的時光,
那是快樂的夏季時光;
鳥兒在樹上開心的鳴叫著,
甜美的微風徐徐吹來,
那是快樂的夏季時光。


此外,喬治‧葛斯文 (George Gershwin) 與愛拉‧葛斯文 (Ira Gershwin) ,還有杜柏斯‧海沃德 (Dubose Heyward) 在共同完成的歌劇乞丐與蕩婦 (Porgy and Bess) 中指出:「夏日的生活是那麼的自在。」你在夏天會唱什麼歌曲呢?


Everyone has a summer story. Songwriters have immortalized their summer experiences in numerous songs over the ages. In his song, "In the Good Old Summertime" (1902), lyricist Ren Shields declares:

There's a time in each year that we always hold dear,
Good old summertime;
With the birds and the trees,
And the sweet-scented breezes,
Good old summertime.

Collaborators George and Ira Gershwin and DuBose Heyward said, "Summertime, and the livin' is easy," in the song from the opera Porgy and Bess. What songs of summer do you sing?
