美国于1815年1月8日取得纽奥良战争 (Battle
of New Orleans) 的胜利
「我说要记得纽奥良,
那是杰克森让他们知道北方人怎么打仗,
也是击败他们获胜的那一天,
于是我们听到人们说
杰克森将军万岁。」
而「一月的第八天」 (The
Eighth of January) 这首歌,也成为1940年代大家在跳方块舞时喜欢放的音乐之一。也许你的家人曾经听过这首歌。你可以邀请他们一起来听这首「一月的第八天」,然后一起高呼「喝啦!」
"Remember New Orleans I say,
Where Jackson show'd them Yankee play,
And beat them off and gain'd the day,
And then we heard the people say
Huzza! For Gen'ral Jackson."
The song "The Eighth of January" became a favorite tune for square dancing even into the 1940s. Perhaps members of your family have heard the song. Invite them to listen to the traditional fiddle tune "The Eighth of January" and together yell "Huzza!"
