[English]
(festive music)
♪ Snow falls down from the gray sky ♪
♪ Ashes fall in the sea ♪
♪ Plans are thrown to the wayside ♪
♪ Frozen days of the week ♪
♪ But everybody wants to make it home this year ♪
♪ Even if the world is crumblin' down ♪
♪ 'Cause everybody's got somebody ♪
♪ Who's got their name on a shelf ♪
♪ With cheap decor and flavored cheer ♪
♪ You rest assured that Christmas saves the year ♪
♪ Dust off old photo boxes ♪
♪ This one's marked '92, yeah ♪
♪ Years past seemed so much grander ♪
♪ This one needs to come through ♪
♪ 'Cause everybody wants to make it home this year ♪
♪ Even if the world is crumblin' down ♪
♪ 'Cause everybody's got somebody ♪
♪ Who's got their name on a shelf ♪
♪ With cheap decor and flavored cheer ♪
♪ You rest assured that Christmas saves the year ♪
