"Over the Rainbow", also known as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", is a ballad by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Yip Harburg. It was written for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, in which it was sung by actress Judy Garland in her starring role as Dorothy Gale.
Mi cordial saludo para todos en la gran comunidad de Vibes, esta vez quisiera compartir con ustedes otra canción en la Vibes Web 3 Competition Week 37. Quiero hacer un cover de la canción “Somewhere over the Rainbow” de Judy Garlan un clásico de los años 30, específicamente 1939. Esta canción fue el tema principal del filme “El mago de Oz”
"Over the Rainbow", también conocido como "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", es una balada de Harold Arlen con letras de Yip Harburg. Fue escrito para la película de 1939 El mago de Oz, en la que fue cantado por la actriz Judy Garland en su papel principal como Dorothy Gale.
"Over the Rainbow" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became Garland's signature song. It has been included in several all-time lists, and has been covered by several artists in varying languages. In 2017, it was selected for induction into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
On October 7, 1938, Judy Garland recorded the song on the MGM soundstage with an arrangement by Murray Cutter.
In late July 1939, Garland recorded the song for the record label Decca, which she was under contract to. This song and "The Jitterbug"[A] from the same recording sessions are the only songs from The Wizard of Oz that Judy Garland recorded commercially.[13] And it was this recording, not the one from the film soundtrack, that was released on the 78-rpm gramophone record that was part of the Decca four-record album titled The Wizard of Oz. Although this is not the version that appeared in the film, the "studio cast album" was commercially successful, and Decca continued to release it into the 1960s, also reissuing on 331⁄3 rpm.
The film version of "Over the Rainbow" was unavailable for purchase on record until The Wizard of Oz soundtrack album was released by MGM in 1956 to coincide with the television premiere of the movie. The soundtrack album has been re-released several times over the years, including a deluxe edition issued on Rhino Records in 1995.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that l've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream, Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High across the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High across the chimney tops, That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then, oh why can't l?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
