[English]

By now in New York City, there's snow on the ground

And out in California, the sunshine's falling down

And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights

And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines

Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight

...

It's windy here in Chicago, the kids are outta school

There's magic in Motown, the city's on the move

In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline

And all across the nation, it's a peaceful Christmastime

Christmas in Dixie, it's snowing in the pines

Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight

Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight

...
