[English]

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 Yule-tide 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

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

...

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

...

Here we are as in olden days

...

Happy golden days of yore

Faithfull friends who are dear to us

Gather near to us once more

Through the years

We all will be together

If the fates allow

So hang a shining star upon the highest bough

...

And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

...
