《Over the Rainbow》(也称为“Somewhere Over the Rainbow”)的歌声伴随着一代又一代的儿童在纯真和童趣中成长。每一句台词、每一个音符、每一样道具都已成为电影史的瑰宝。现代科技大可以把特技做得更真,但谁能複製朱迪·加兰的歌声?静下心品味来自上世纪的经典,洗净你的心灵。
而近60年后,吴宇森在他导演的动作巨片《变脸》之中引用这首经曲歌曲(片中的版本是由Olivia Newton John所演唱的),则使这首长青曲获得不少新一代的歌迷。电影《九》中留声机播放的就是这首曲子。

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
彩虹之上,有个高高的地方
在彩虹之上,有个很高的地方
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
那个仙境你曾在摇篮曲中梦到
有一块乐土,我曾在摇篮曲中听到过
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
彩虹之上,天空蔚蓝
在彩虹之上的某个地方,天空是蔚蓝的
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
在那仙境你敢于梦想,在那仙境你的梦想都会实现
只要你敢做的梦,都会实现
Someday I wish up on a star
我期待有一天到那星星之上,
有一天,我会对着星星许愿
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
梦中醒来,白云匍匐在脚下
然后在云远天高的地方醒来
Where troubles smelt like lemon drops
一切麻烦迎刃而解
在那里,烦恼像柠檬汁一样溶化
A way above the chimney tops
高于烟囱的顶端,
远离烟囱的顶端
That's where you'll find me
你们将在那儿找到我
你就可以找到我
Somewhere over the rainbow blue birds fly
彩虹之上,有个青鸟飞翔的地方(天高任鸟飞)
在彩虹之上的某个地方,青鸟悠然飞翔
Birds fly over the rainbow
青鸟飞跃了彩虹
青鸟飞跃了彩虹
Why then, oh why can't I?
为何,噢为何我不能?
那幺,我为何不能?
If happy little blue birds fly beyond the rainbow
如果快乐的小青鸟儿飞过了彩虹
如果快乐的小青鸟儿飞过了彩虹
Why, oh why can't I?
为何,噢为何我不能?
那幺,我为何不能?

专辑Over the rainbow (Transcribed by ) When all the world is a hopeless jumble And the raindrops tumble all around Heaven opens a magic lane When all the clouds darken up the skyway There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your windowpane Judy Garland To a place behind the sun Just a step beyond the rain Somewhere, over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I dreamed of once in a lullabye Somewhere, over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Some day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me Where laughter falls like lemon drops away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere, over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I
