[English]

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,

but the fire is so delightful.

And since we've no place to go,

let it, let it, let it,

it doesn't show signs of stopping. And I

bought some corn for popping.

The lights are turned away 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 really hold me tight

all the way home, I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying. And my dear

still goodbye.

But as long as you love me, so let it,

let it, let it

finally kiss. Good night. How I hate

going out in the storm.

But if you really hold inside tight

all the way home I'll be warm.

The fire will slowly die and my dear

will tell goodbye. But as long as you

love me, so let it snow. Let it snow.

Let it
