学校里的歌是什么（校歌的意思）

校歌以河流开曲，是一种多普遍的现象呢？我们不妨来看看两个例子

Far, far above the waters

Of the deep blue sea,

Lies the campus of the College,

Where we love to be.

（意译：河水边，大海旁，是我们心爱的母校）

选自American University of Beirut 校歌

Southern suns and sky blue water,

Smile upon you Alma mater;

（意译：南方太阳下，天蓝色的河水旁，我们的母校在微笑）

选自University of Miami校歌

事实上，不仅中国大学的校歌，大量的美国大学的效果和香港/新加坡/日本等东亚国家的效果，都有这种起手描写河流特点的歌词。追根溯源，这种趋势又是什么时候开始的呢？

那么就要隆重介绍下这首校歌：

Far Above Cayugas Waters 康奈尔校歌

这首歌填词完成于1874年，作曲参考了1857年的一首流行歌曲"Annie Lisle". 它问世之后广受欢迎，被评价为 "the saddest and oldest of all college songs". 从美国的大学、高中开始，世界各地的学府开始改编这首歌的歌词和旋律来作为自己的校歌。而这首歌的开头是这样的：

Far above Cayugas waters,

With its waves of blue,

Stands our noble Alma Mater,

Glorious to view.

(意译：Cayuga蓝蓝的河水边，坐落着我们挚爱的母校)

这就是引领校歌时尚的源头，所以很多大学的校歌都是以河水怎么样开头。

下面给出改编康奈尔校歌作为自己校歌的学校不完全名单：
