[English]

You know, my love

Behave yourself

You shouldn’t cry

Do you know why?

Santa Claus arrived in town

He checks everything

He sees it all

And follows your steps

Wherever you are

Santa Claus arrived in town

He watches you when you sleep

He looks at you when you wake

Don’t try to hide from him

Because he will always see you

He knows about you

He knows about me

He knows everything

Don’t try to run

Santa Claus arrived in town

He watches you when you sleep

He looks at you when you wake

Don’t try to hide from him

Because he will always see you

He knows about you

He knows about me

He knows everything

Don’t try to run

Santa Claus has arrived...

Santa Claus has arrived...

Santa Claus arrived in town

...

Sabes mi amor

Pórtate bien

No debes llorar

¿Sabes por qué?

Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Él todo lo apunta

Él todo lo ve

Y sigue los pasos

Estés donde estés

Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Te observa cuando duermes

Te mira al despertar

No intentes ocultarte de él

Pues siempre te verá

Él sabe de ti

Él sabe de mí

Él lo sabe todo

No intentes huir

Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Te observa cuando duermes

Te mira al despertar

No intentes ocultarte de él

Pues siempre te verá

Él sabe de ti

Él sabe de mí

Él lo sabe todo

No intentes huir

Santa Claus llegó...

Santa Claus llegó...

Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad
