Puff the magic dragon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmTlu2zLg_k

Puff the magic dragon, adalah sebuah lagu lama yang di populerkan oleh Peter, Paul dan Mary.  Lagu ini juga dinyanyikan oleh Brother Four. Dan entah berapa penyanyi lain yang juga telah menyanyikan lagu ini. Sebuah lagu santai yang cocok sebagai lagu pengantar tidur
Lagu ini juga telah diangkat menjadi animasi. Hebatnya lagi, lagu ini ternyata berawal dari sebuah puisi. Yang kemudian diubah menjadi lirik lagu.
Liriknya menceritakan tentang seekor naga ajaib  bernama Puff, dan seorang temannya yang bernama Jackie Paper. Cerita ini terjadi di laut di tanah fiktif  yang bernama Honah Lee.
Sebuah lagu yang sangat menarik menurut saya! Tapi sayangnya saya baru tau lagu ini setelah Kyuhyun menyanyikannya di Super Show II…,
Lirik:
Puff, the magic dragon,
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail.
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff’s gigantic tail.
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
A dragon lives forever,
But not so little boys.
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon,
He ceased his fearless roar.
His head was bent in sorrow,
Green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play
Along that cheery lane.
Without his life-long friend,
Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee
