[English]

This is the time of year we can give it, give it, give it, give it all

One through ten on your list you can get it, get it, get it, get it all

Make your wish tonight, when you open your eyes

When the lights go bright, girl, I'll be right there

Baby you deserve everything you want, it's your night, oh

Wanna put my ear to your chest girl

Baby, I hear melodies when your heart beats

Baby it sings to me like (fa la la, fa la la)

Baby, I hear melodies when your heart beats

Baby it sings to me like (fa la la, fa la la)

Know that it's Christmastime

You got on my favourite dress

You're looking, looking, looking, good

Snow falling on your hair, and I don't, I don't wanna get it off

Even the stars in the sky can't outshine your eyes

I wanna be your biggest gift

Baby, you deserve everything you want

It's your night, oh

I wanna put my ear to your chest, now

Baby, I hear melodies when your heart beats

Baby it sings to me like (fa la la, fa la la)

Baby, I hear melodies when your heart beats

Baby it sings to me (fa la la, fa la la)

Know that it's Christmastime

I'll deck your heart with boughs of holly

(Fa la la, la la la, la, la, la, la)

Baby 'cause you're the reason to be jolly

Fa la la, fa la la (baby girl) la la la

I hear melodies when your heart beats

Baby it sings to me like (fa la la, fa la la)

Baby, I hear melodies when your heart beats

Baby it sings to me like (fa la la, fa la la)

Know that it's Christmastime

Fa la la, fa la la

Like Christmas, oh oh oh

Know that it's Christmastime (fa la la, fa la la)

La la la la la

Know that it's Christmastime

Yeah, yeah, baby, oh

Oh, yeah
