Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Hee
Bells will be ringin' the sad, sad news
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby is gone and I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Choirs be singin' "Silent Night
...
Christmas carols by the candlelight
Please, please come home for
Christmas, please, please come home
If not for Christmas, then by
New Year's night
...
Friends and relations send salutations
Ayy
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas, yeah, Christmas
My dear
Time of the year to be with the
One you love
...
So won't you tell me you'll never roam
Christmas and New Year's
Find you at home
There'll be no sorrow
No grief and no pain
And I'll be happy (Happy)
Happy once again
C'mon
...
Yeah
There'll be no sorrow
No grief and no pain
Oh, I'll be happy (Happy)
Christmas once again
Mmm
...
