歌曲介紹
Colbie Caillat 於 2012 年所發佈的歌曲。
這軌收錄在個人首張同名節慶專案中的主打作品，
一推出就顛覆了全球大眾對於過往寒冬銀白佳節的刻板印象。
創作者將壁爐與雪景抽離，
轉而搬移至充滿美西陽光的溫暖海灘線。
將海灘陽光與佳節符號進行巧妙融合。
歐美主流傳媒紛紛給予這部節慶大碟相當不錯的評價，
激賞其採取輕快流暢的木吉他彈奏，
成功打造出極具度假感的雷鬼流行律動。
音樂錄影帶的感官視覺呈現同樣別具張力，
畫面中捕捉了歌手身穿夏日泳裝在熱帶沙灘上漫步，
甚至安排了穿著海灘褲的聖誕老人
一邊衝浪一邊開懷大笑的逗趣常態。
一邊衝浪一邊開懷大笑的逗趣常態。
這款將嚴冬習俗徹底解構的無厘頭嘗試，
配合著完美音效，
成功安撫了無數在沉悶冬日裡渴望陽光的漂泊靈魂。
無論歲月如何更迭，
每當這首作品在歲末響起，
依舊是數位串流平台裡最獨樹一幟的熱帶避風港。
歌詞翻譯
[Verse 1]
I love Christmas in the snow
我愛銀裝素裹的傳統雪景聖誕
But Christmas in the sand, oh, man
但在金黃沙灘上過節，老天爺啊
I tell you that's where it's at
我敢打包票那才是最頂級的享受
Hawaiian Tropic on my skin
塗滿夏威夷防曬油的肌膚
Candy cane of peppermint, a hint
嘴裡嚼著薄荷拐杖糖，還帶著一絲
Of cocoa on my lips
殘留在雙唇上的香甜熱可可風味
[Pre-Chorus]
It could've been the sun, it could've been the sea
這或許是烈日帶來的致幻魔力，也可能是汪洋大海的催化
Could've been my childhood fantasy
更可能是我從小到大一直憧憬的童話幻想
[Chorus]
But I saw Santa in his bathing suit
但我確實親眼看見聖誕老人穿著清涼泳裝
Tryin' to catch a wave, but he tried too soon
正大展身手想要逐浪衝浪，卻太急著站起身來
He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe
他自己也笑到花枝亂顫、差點沒法度呼吸
And washed up next to me
最後被海浪一路沖到了我的腳邊
He said, "You look naughty, but I'm sure you're nice"
他調侃著說「妳看起來有點調皮，但我敢打包票妳骨子裡很善良」
He was soaking wet, but he cracked a smile
雖然他全身早已濕透，卻還是擠出了個燦爛的微笑
With a present in his hand
手裡還死死攥著一份精美禮物
He said, "It's Christmas in the sand"
他對我說「這就是屬於熱帶沙灘的聖誕節啦」
[Verse 2]
I must've had too much to drink
我想我昨晚一定是貪杯喝了太多烈酒
'Cause Rudolph's nose was shinin' green, I think
因為我竟然恍惚看見紅鼻鹿魯道夫的鼻子變成了綠色
He was playin' reindeer games on me
牠肯定是在跟我玩什麼惡作劇的馴鹿博弈
Well, Santa only called him once
好啦，雖然聖誕老人只出聲呼喚了牠那麼一次
But you should have seen him run, so fast
但妳真該看看牠狂飆逃跑的速度，簡直快到破表
They were gone in a dash
一眨眼的功夫，牠們就徹底消失在視線盡頭
[Pre-Chorus]
It could've been the sun, it could've been the sea
這或許是烈日帶來的致幻魔力，也可能是汪洋大海的催化
Could've been my childhood fantasy
更可能是我從小到大一直憧憬的童話幻想
[Chorus]
But I saw Santa in his bathing suit
但我確實親眼看見聖誕老人穿著清涼泳裝
Tryin' to catch a wave, but he tried too soon
正大展身手想要逐浪衝浪，卻太急著站起身來
He laughed so hard that he could barely breathe
他自己也笑到花枝亂顫、差點沒法度呼吸
And washed up next to me
最後被海浪一路沖到了我的腳邊
He said, "You look naughty, but I'm sure you're nice"
他調侃著說「妳看起來有點調皮，但我敢打包票妳骨子裡很善良」
He was soaking wet, but he cracked a smile
雖然他全身早已濕透，卻還是擠出了個燦爛的微笑
With a present in his hand
手裡還死死攥著一份精美禮物
He said, "It's Christmas in the sand"
他對我說「這就是屬於熱帶沙灘的聖誕節啦」
[Post-Chorus]
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
沙灘上的聖誕節，哇—噢—噢
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
沙灘上的聖誕節，哇—噢—噢
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
沙灘上的聖誕節，哇—噢—噢
Christmas in the sand
這就是屬於熱帶海灘的聖誕佳節
[Bridge]
Don't need your winter coat, don't need you winter hat
在這裡你不需要厚重的防寒大衣，也不需要毛呢冬帽
Just grab the one you love and say, "You're never coming back"
只需要緊緊牽起你心肝底的最愛，對冷酷的世界宣誓「老子再也不回去了」
[Chorus]
And you'll see Santa in his bathing suit
而你定會看見聖誕老人穿著清涼泳裝
Tryin' to catch a wave, but he'll try too soon
正大展身手想要逐浪衝浪，卻太急著站起身來
He'll laugh so hard that he can barely breathe
他定會笑到花枝亂顫、差點沒法度呼吸
It's what he did to me (It's what he did to me)
這就是他當初對我展現的英姿呢（這就是他對我做過的事）
He said, "You look naughty, but I'm sure you're nice" (Sure you're nice)
他調侃著說「妳看起來有點調皮，但我敢打包票妳骨子裡很善良」（沒錯妳很善良）
He was soaking wet, but he cracked a smile
雖然他全身早已濕透，卻還是擠出了個燦爛的微笑
With a present in his hand
手裡還死死攥著一份精美禮物
He said, "It's Christmas in the sand" (Christmas in the sand)
他對我說「這就是屬於熱帶沙灘的聖誕節啦」（海灘上的聖誕節）
[Post-Chorus]
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
沙灘上的聖誕節，哇—噢—噢
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
沙灘上的聖誕節，哇—噢—噢
Christmas in the sand, whoa-oh-oh
沙灘上的聖誕節，哇—噢—噢
I love Christmas in the sand
我是這呢渴望在溫暖沙灘上度過聖誕節
註解補記
Hawaiian Tropic on my skin
這句歌詞巧妙借用了美國歷史悠久的著名防曬乳商標，
來與寒冷北國的冬日印象形成強烈反差。
字面上精準打破了傳統聖誕節必須穿著厚重毛衣的規矩，
逼真具象化了美西海濱的休閒氛圍，
為原本沉悶的佳節增添了甚高的趣味色彩。
reindeer games
馴鹿遊戲在西方大眾文化圈內，
不僅指代幫忙拉雪橇的動物娛樂，
同時也是衍生自經典故事
《紅鼻子馴鹿魯道夫》中的知名典故。
創作者在此處高明挪用為帶有調侃意味的惡作劇隱喻，
透露出主角在半夢半醒間，
與現實博弈的玩味心理。
naughty, but I'm sure you're nice
調皮與善良的兩極對比，
翻玩了耶誕傳統文化中關於
「乖巧與淘氣名單」的著名考核制度。
相傳老人在分發禮物前會仔細審查每位孩童一整年的表現，
此處被轉化為海灘重逢時，
男女幽默拉扯的感官修辭，
極具黑色幽默。
