Who's that? Hey, he's comin' our way Who's that? With the reindeer and sleigh Who's that? Well I'll betcha that the man with the bag Will be up on the roof tonight Up on the housetop, reindeer pause Up jumps good old Santa Claus Down through the chimney with lots of toys All for the little ones' Christmas joys Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down through the chimney with good St. Nick First comes the stocking of little Nell Oh dear Santa fill it well Give to her a dolly that laughs and cries One that can open and shut its eyes Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down through the chimney with good St. Nick Look in the stocking of little Bill Oh just see what a glorious fill Here's a hammer and lots of tacks A whistle and a ball and a whip that cracks Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Up on the house top, a click, click, click Down the chim-i-ney with good St. Nick Down through the chim-i-ney Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn't go? Up on the housetop, click, click, click Down through the chim-i-ney Down through the chim-i-ney Down through the chimney with good St. Nick St. Nick That's it!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow It doesn't show signs of stoppin' And I've brought some corn for poppin' The lights are turned way down low Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow When we finally kiss good night How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you'll really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm The fire is slowly dyin' And my dear, we're still goodbyin' But as long as you love me so Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow We don't care if it's ten below When we're sitting by the fire's gloosy glow We don't care about the cold and the winds that blow We just say, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow It's plain to see that we're in for a storm Why should we worry when we're nice and warm? Side by side, hand in hand with the lights turned low Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow But if you'll really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm, I'll be warm (Yes, I'll be safe and warm) The fire is slowly dyin' And my dear, we're still goodbyin' But as long as you love me so Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow We don't care about the winds that blow We're sittin' by the fire with the lights down low You and me with no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Kalni šonakt sudrabaināk blāzmo Zvaigznes zeltaināk un krāšńāk spīd Lejas siltāk pārslu sagšās tinās Sołi saudzīgāk un klusāk slīd Mazais dievnams kalnā staro Zvani aicina un sauc un lūdz Lai ikviens uz augšu paceł vaigu Kristus gaismai visas sāpes sūdz Lai ikviens kā ziedu atver sirdi Lai ik roka spožu sveci sprauž Jo starp pašām debesīm un zemi Mīlestība šonakt tiltu auž Mazais dievnams kalnā staro Zvani aicina un sauc un lūdz Lai ikviens uz augšu paceł vaigu Kristus gaismai visas sāpes sūdz Lai ikviens kā ziedu atver sirdi Lai ik roka spožu sveci sprauž Jo starp pašām debesīm un zemi Mīlestība šonakt tiltu auž

In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron Water like a stone Snow had fallen Snow on snow on snow on snow In the bleak midwinter Long ago Angels and archangels May have gathered there Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air But his mother only In her maiden bliss Worshiped the beloved With a kiss What can I give him Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would give a lamb If I were a wise man I would do my part Yet what can I give him Give my heart This I still can give him I can give my heart

Pour my cup of coffee And plug in the lights The room is full of holiglo, holiglo But there's one feeling I can't fight I miss you, my family, my friends, my loved ones I wish I could be with you, feel your heart So send me a card for Christmas If I can't be with you And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek Fa la la la la la I'll still bake the cookies And I'll still trim the tree I'll put the candles in the windows and hope it snows And just dream of when you were with me We'd sing and we'd laugh and we'd share our wishes It's this time of year that I need you the most So send me a card for Christmas If I can't be with you And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek Fa la la la la la I need you to know what your words mean to me And how they soothe my heart When I sit alone by the greenery And we're worlds apart But still I hope That your envelope Will find its way to my front door So send me a card for Christmas If I can't be with you And your words will be a kiss upon my cheek Fa la la la la la

Silver Bells 03:54
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks. Dressed in holiday style In the air There's a feeling Of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle You'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day Christmas makes you feel emotional It can bring parties or thoughts devotional Whatever happens or what may be This is what Christmas time means to me Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day Soon it will be Christmas day

The First Noël the angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay In fields where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winter's night that was so deep Noël Noël Noël Noël Born is the King of Israel! They looked up and saw a star Shining in the East beyond them far And to the earth it gave great light And so it continued both day and night Noël Noël Noël Noël Born is the King of Israel! Jūs, ticīgie, nāciet, Gavilējiet priekā, Ak, nākdami nāciet uz Betlemi! Raugait šo bērnu, Kas par mums ir dzimis! Ak, nāciet viņu pielūgt, Ak, nāciet viņu pielūgt, Ak, nāciet viņu pielūgt, šo Ķēniņu! Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, sing, all ye citizens of heav’n above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord! Noël Noël Noël Noël Born is the King Born is the King of Israel!

Klausies, mīłā Ziemassvētki atkal tuvojās Zinu, dārgais Pastā ir jau svētku kartińas Svētku sniegā Varam abi mīłi vārtīties Apgaismotās Ielās iesim rotas iepirkties Bet atkal pienācis ir laiks Kad mums ir jāatbild šis jautājums: Kur mēs šogad svinēsim? Laukos vai Rīgā Senču lauk' mājā Laukos vai Rīgā Tēva penthausā Laukos vai Rīgā Kā lai šo izgudrojam Lai šogad svētkus visi izbaudam? Pēdējā gadā Jūsu kaza dāvanas apēda Bet tavā Rīgā Liftā braucot egle pārlūza Tavs onkulis Tālis Svētku buču ilgi turēja Un tavas māsas Atkal visu vīnu izdzēra Mēs gribam svētkos kopā būt Bet ir grūti kad ir jāizlemj Kur mēs šogad svinēsim? Laukos vai Rīgā Kūtī gulēsim? Laukos vai Rīgā Burzmā nosmaksim? Laukos vai Rīgā Kā lai šo izgudrojam Lai šogad svētkus visi izbaudam? (- Nu, ko dararm? - Tu jau zini, ka svinēt ar tavu gimeni nav mana pirmā izvēle - Jā. Un es? Laukos? Esmu ka izmesta no laivas! Un tad atkal prasu: ko daram? - Kaut kas jādara... - Zini, ir trešā izvēle... - Vai tev prātā tas pats kas man? - Man škiet ka jā! - Sarunāts? - Sarunāts!) Tad varbūt šogad labāk svinēt Mūsu mājā, tikai abi mēs Bez dubłainiem zābakiem Bez dārgajiem pīrāgiem Bez trakajiem rad'niekiem Bez lielajiem notikumiem Mīlestībā, tu un es Divatā pie eglītes Tā mēs šogad svinēsim!

Es skaistu rozi zinu, no sīkas saknes tā Šī rozīte, ko minu, to Dievs mums dāvina Tā plauka dzestrumā pie aukstas ziemas saules, Pie pusnakts tumsībā. Šo brīnumskaisto rozi, ko praviets sludina, Mums Māra atnesusi, tā šķīsta jaunava. Pēc Dieva padoma viens bērniņš tai ir dzimis, Pie pusnakts tumsībā. Tu, rozīt, skaistā, jaukā, tu puķīt svētākā, Kam gribi ziedēt laukā? Zied’ manā sirsniņā! Kas ticīgs tevi kopj, tam sirds no saldas smaržas, Un dvēs`le pilna top.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay From now on our troubles will be miles away Here we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow So have yourself a merry little Christmas now Once again as in olden days Happy golden days of yore Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us once more Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
