happiness and cheer,
fun for all that children
call their favorite time of year.
Snowflakes in the air,
carols everywhere,
olden times and ancient rhymes
and love and dreams to share.
Sleigh bells in the air;
beauty every where;
yuletide by the fireside
and joyful memories there.
Christmas time is here;
we'll be drawing near;
oh that we could always see
such spirit through the year,
such spirit through the year.
Перевод
Сейчас время Рождества
счастье и радость,
весело всем, что дети
называть их любимое время года.
Снежинки в воздухе,
колядки везде,
старины и древних рифмы
и любовь, и мечты, чтобы поделиться.
Бубенцы в воздухе;
салон, где каждый;
Святки у камина
и радостные воспоминания.
Рождество здесь;
мы будем рисовать рядом;
о том, что мы всегда могли видеть
такие Духа через год,
такие Духа через год.
