Bài hát “The Bear” là một ca khúc thiếu nhi bằng tiếng Anh, kể lại câu chuyện phiêu lưu hài hước khi gặp một con gấu lớn. Lời bài hát miêu tả cảnh nhân vật chính và gấu nhìn nhau, rồi gấu hỏi “Sao không chạy đi khi không có súng?”. Sau đó là cuộc chạy trốn kịch tính: nhân vật lao về phía cây lớn, nhảy lên nhưng trượt cành, may mắn bám được khi rơi xuống. Kết thúc vui vẻ với lời hứa sẽ kể tiếp nếu gặp lại gấu. Giai điệu nhịp nhàng, lời ca sinh động khiến bài hát trở thành một hành trình thú vị để các bé vừa hát vừa tưởng tượng!
Lời bài hát:
The other day, I met a bear,
A way up there, a great big bear.
The other day, I met a bear,
A great big bear, a way up there.He looked at me, I looked at him.
He sized up me, I sized up him.
He looked at me, I looked at him.
He sized up me, I sized up him.He said to me,
“Why don’t you run?”
“I see you don’t have any gun.”
He said to me, “Why don’t you run?”
“I see you don’t have any gun.”And so I ran away from there,
And right behind me was that bear.
And so I ran away from there,
And right behind me was that bear.Ahead of me I saw a tree,
A great big tree, oh, golly gee.
Ahead of me there was a tree,
A great big tree, oh, golly gee.The lowest branch was ten feet up,
I had to jump and trust my luck.
The lowest branch was ten feet up,
I had to jump and trust my luck.And so I jumped into the air,
And missed that branch away up there.
And so I jumped into the air,
And missed that branch away up there.Now don’t you fret and don’t you frown.
I caught that branch on the way back down.
Now don’t you fret and don’t you frown.
I caught that branch on the way back down.That’s all there is, there is no more.
Until I meet that bear once more.
That’s all there I, there is no more.
Until I meet that bear once more.The end, the end, the end, the end.
The end, the end, the end, the end.
The end, the end, the end, the end.
This time it really is the end!
