[English]

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Ah

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

Since we've no place to go

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

You know it doesn't show signs of stoppin'

I bought some corn for poppin'

The lights are turned way 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, we're still goodbye-ing

But as long as you love me so

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Woo!

C'mon!

Da-da, da-da-da

Hey!

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

You know the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let it snow (let it snow)

Let it snow (let it snow)

Let it snow

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Oh, the weather outside is frightful

  ➔ Present Simple - Stative Verb

  ➔ The verb "is" describes a state of being (the weather) rather than an action. Stative verbs are typically used in the simple present to describe permanent or long-lasting conditions. "Frightful" is an adjective describing the weather.

• Since we've no place to go

  ➔ Present Perfect with 'since' - Conditional Clause

  ➔ The phrase "we've no place to go" uses the present perfect to indicate a situation that started in the past and continues to the present. 'Since' introduces the reason for the action (let it snow). The contraction 'we've' is a common feature of spoken English.

• How I'll hate going out in the storm

  ➔ Future with 'will' - Expressing a strong feeling

  ➔ The use of 'will' + verb expresses a future action, but in this case, it also conveys a strong negative emotion (hate). The structure 'How I'll...' is an emphatic way to express this feeling.

• But if you really hold me tight

  ➔ First Conditional - 'if' clause

  ➔ This is a classic example of the first conditional. 'If' introduces a possible condition, and the main clause describes the likely result. 'Really' is an intensifier, emphasizing the sincerity of the condition.
