[English]

Wonderland

Winter wonderland

Wonderland

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?

In the lane, snow is glistening

A beautiful sight, oh, we're happy tonight

Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the bluebird

Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song as we go along

Walking in a winter wonderland

Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman

And pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say, "Are you married? We'll say, "No, man"

But you can do the job when you're in town

Later on, we'll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid of the plans that we made

Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow, we can build a snowman

And pretend that he is Parson Brown

We have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman

Until the other kiddies knock him down

Oh, when it snows, ain't it filling?

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way

Walking in a winter wonderland

Wonderland

Wonderland
