Count on Christmas

• By: Bebe Rexha

Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

There's something stirring

有些东西在悸动着

Something crackling like the firewood

像柴火噼啪作响

A certain spirit that has lightened up the neighborhood

某种精神点亮了整个街区

I think it's time for the timeless time of the year

我想是时候迎接这永恒的节日了

Time of the year

节日时光

You're bundled up

你裹得严严实实

Got a blizzard coming on the way

暴风雪正在赶来的路上

The family fighting like they do 'cause it's the holidays

家人们像往常一样争吵，因为这是节日

And every memory you're holding in your heart is alive once more, right here

而你心中所有的回忆都再次鲜活起来，就在此刻

Feels like you're a kid again

感觉又回到了童年

Making you remember when life was good

让你想起生活美好的时光

Just watching the snow fall down

只是静静地看着雪花飘落

Doesn't matter if the year's got you feeling down

即使这一年让你感到沮丧也没关系

Just remember in December what is coming 'round

只要记住十二月会迎来什么

And you'll find the feeling that you always found

你就会找回那熟悉的感觉

You can count on Christmas, count on Christmas

你可以期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

Coming back home to the old address

回到熟悉的家

Something burning in the kitchen with the house a mess

厨房里烧着东西，家里一团糟

And this year is promising nothing less

而今年也一定不会缺少这些

You can count on Christmas, count on Christmas

你可以期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah

耶，耶，耶，喔

Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah

耶，耶，耶，喔

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

耶，耶，耶，耶，耶

Count on Christmas, count on Christmas

期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

We got a Christmas song Sing-a-long around the tree

我们围着圣诞树唱着圣诞歌

Keep the eggnog flow until we're all tipsy

让蛋奶酒畅饮，直到我们都微醺

There's another movie marathon on TV

电视上又开始了电影马拉松

Which one could it be?

会是哪一部呢？

But with all of the presents, all of the gifts

尽管有这么多的礼物

It's really about who you're sharing them with

重要的是你和谁分享它们

And just for Christmas Eve

就在圣诞夜

The world's the way it used to be

世界仿佛回到了过去

Doesn't matter if the year's got you feeling down

即使这一年让你感到沮丧也没关系

Just remember in December what is coming 'round

只要记住十二月会迎来什么

And you'll find the feeling that you always found

你就会找回那熟悉的感觉

You can count on Christmas, count on Christmas

你可以期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

Waiting up and then you hear the jingle bells ring

等待着，然后你听到了叮当铃声

Santa Claus is coming what's he gonna bring

圣诞老人来了，他会带来什么？

There's a little bit of magic to everything

每件事都带有一点魔法

You can count on Christmas, count on Christmas

你可以期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah

耶，耶，耶，喔

Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah

耶，耶，耶，喔

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

耶，耶，耶，耶，耶

Count on Christmas, count on Christmas

期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah

耶，耶，耶，喔

Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah

耶，耶，耶，喔

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

耶，耶，耶，耶，耶

Count on Christmas, count on Christmas

期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

Doesn't matter if the year's got you feeling down

即使这一年让你感到沮丧也没关系

Just remember in December what is coming 'round

只要记住十二月会迎来什么

And you'll find the feeling that you always found

你就会找回那熟悉的感觉

You can count on Christmas, count on Christmas

你可以期待圣诞节，期待圣诞节

Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah
