[English]

Snowflakes fall on Marylebone

To lovers on the cobblestones

With scarves wrapped over collarbones

And you wrapped around me

Angels in the window panes

And two pints on a single tray

The ten bells full of runaways

Just for Christmas Eve

'Til it's time (it's time) for goodbye (goodbye)

And we both ride off into the night (the night)

And I hope

That you know

I wanna deck the halls

Hang mistletoe around ya

So when I sing Last Christmas

I hope it's not the last without ya

So you should listen up

'Cause this wish is about ya

Can we have forever

Or at least can we be together babe for Christmas?

Oh, can we be together babe for Christmas?

(La-la, la-la-la-la)

(La-la, la-la-la-la)

(La-la, la-la-la-la)

Can we be together babe?

Red my lips and gloss my eyes

Railway stops and frosted skies

Can't wait to be by your side

Countdown's almost done

Running as the train pulls in

We collide, I hear violins

I kiss you and the choirs all sing

Merry Christmas, everyone

'Til it's time (it's time) for goodbye (goodbye)

And we both ride off into the night (the night)

And I hope

That you know

I wanna deck the halls

Hang mistletoe around ya

So when I sing Last Christmas

I hope it's not the last without ya

So you should listen up

'Cause this wish is about ya

Can we have forever

Or at least can we be together babe for Christmas?

Oh, can we be together babe for Christmas?

(La-la, la-la-la-la)

(La-la, la-la-la-la)

(La-la, la-la-la-la)

Can we be together babe?

Together babe for Christmas
