Rasanya semua orang mesti pernah nyanyi lagu 'London Bridge is Falling Down' tak pon mesti at least pernah dengar. Tapi tak tahu keseluruhan lirik lagu ni dan kisah di sebalik seni kata lagu ni.
Pernah tak terlintas yang lirik 'is falling down' tu macam seram dan cuba kalau kita nyanyi Penang Bridge is falling down~ falling down ~ falling down~ . Rasa macam tak patut ja kan?. Seolah-olah mendoakan benda tak baik. So apa sebenarnya maksud dan sejarah di sebalik senikata lagu ni?

London Bridge is falling down, Falling down, falling down, London Bridge is falling down, My fair Lady.
Build it up with wood and clay, Wood and clay, wood and clay, Build it up with wood and clay, My fair Lady.
Wood and clay will wash away, Wash away, wash away, Wood and clay will wash away, My fair Lady.
Build it up with bricks and mortar, Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar, Build it up with bricks and mortar, My fair Lady.
Bricks and mortar will not stay, Will not stay, will not stay, Bricks and mortar will not stay, My fair Lady.

Iron and steel will bend and bow, Bend and bow, bend and bow, Iron and steel will bend and bow, My fair Lady.
Build it up with silver and gold, Silver and gold, silver and gold, Build it up with silver and gold, My fair Lady.

Set a man to watch all nigh, Watch all night, watch all night, Set a man to watch all night, My fair Lady.
Suppose the man should fall asleep, Fall asleep, fall asleep, Suppose the man should fall asleep? My fair Lady.
Give him a pipe to smoke all night, Smoke all night, smoke all night, Give him a pipe to smoke all night, My fair Lady.
Pada abad pertama, London Bridge pada asalnya cuma dibina daripada kayu dan tanah liat seterusnya diubah suai menggunakan batu dan akhirnya pembinaan cara moden. Pengubah suaian awalnya berlaku atas sebab serangan Viking, kebakaran dan bencana.
Terdapat satu kisah tak pasti sama ada berlaku melibatkan London Bridge pada abad-abad lama dahulu. Terdapat ritual dimana-mana kanak-kanak khususnya anak yatim akan dikurung di dalam dinding struktur bangunan-bangunan lama Eropah khasnya gereja, istana dan jambatan atas kepercayaan di mana ianya akan menjamin kestabilan struktur binaan. Hah!? Apakah?!
Ritual yang lebih dikenali sebagai 'immurement' akan mengakibatkan si mangsa yang dikurung mati dengan perlahan akibat ketiadaan makanan dan air. Kejamkan? Jika dilihat daripada permainan kanak-kanak yang diiringi dengan nyanyian 'London Bridge is Falling Down' nampak seperti ada perkaitan dengan ritual tersebut .

Untuk Marsha and the Bear, Annabelle etc saya akan carikan 😉
