Letra:

[English]

Stockings are hung with care, as children sleep with one eye open

Well, now there's more than toys at stake 'cause I'm older now

But not done hoping

...

The twinkling of the lights

As Santa carols fill the household

Old Saint Nick has taken flight with a heart on board

So please be careful

Each year I ask for many different things

But now I know what my heart wants you to bring

So please just fall in love with me, this Christmas

There's nothing else that I will need, this Christmas

Won't be wrapped under a tree

I want something that lasts forever

So kiss me on this cold December night

...

A cheer that smells of pine, a house that's filled with joy and laughter

The mistletoe says stand in line, loneliness is what I've captured

Oh, that this evening can be a holy night

Let's cosy on up by the fireplace and dim those Christmas lights

So please just fall in love with me, this Christmas

There's nothing else that you will need, this Christmas

Won't be wrapped under a tree

I want something that lasts forever

So kiss me on this cold December night

...

They call it the season of giving

I'm here, I'm yours for the taking

They call it the season of giving

I'm here, I'm yours

Just fall in love with me, this Christmas

There's nothing else that we will need, this Christmas

Won't be wrapped under a tree

I want something that lasts forever

'Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight

I'll wear you like a Christmas sweater

Walk you proudly to the mistletoe tonight

I want something that lasts forever

So kiss me on this cold December night

...

They call it the season of giving

I'm here, I'm yours for the taking

They call it the season of giving

I'm here, I'm yours

...

Gramática:

  • Stockings are hung with care, as children sleep with one eye open

    ➔ Voz pasiva ('are hung') y 'as' como conjunción de simultaneidad.

    ➔ La voz pasiva "are hung" describe la acción que reciben los calcetines. "as" conecta dos acciones que suceden al mismo tiempo: los calcetines se cuelgan y los niños duermen.

  • Well, now there's more than toys at stake 'cause I'm older now

    ➔ Construcción 'There is/are' y 'cause' (because) como conjunción abreviada.

    "There's" indica existencia. "'cause" es una abreviatura informal de "because", que se utiliza para explicar la razón de la declaración.

  • Each year I ask for many different things

    ➔ Uso de 'each' para enfatizar la individualidad dentro de un grupo, y el presente simple 'ask' para una acción repetida.

    "Each year" aclara que cada año el hablante hace solicitudes. El presente simple "ask" muestra que esta es una acción habitual.

  • But now I know what my heart wants you to bring

    ➔ Cláusula sustantiva como objeto de 'know' ('what my heart wants you to bring').

    ➔ La frase "what my heart wants you to bring" actúa como un solo sustantivo, siendo lo que el hablante sabe.

  • So please just fall in love with me, this Christmas

    ➔ Modo imperativo ('fall in love') y uso de 'just' para suavizar la orden. 'This Christmas' como adverbio de tiempo.

    "Fall in love" es una petición directa. "Just" hace que la petición sea menos exigente. "This Christmas" especifica cuándo debe ocurrir la acción solicitada.

  • Won't be wrapped under a tree

    ➔ Futuro simple pasivo negativo ('won't be wrapped').

    ➔ Esto describe algo que no sucederá en el futuro y también enfatiza que el hablante no está realizando la acción de envolver, sino que está siendo actuado sobre.

  • I want something that lasts forever

    ➔ Cláusula relativa ('that lasts forever') modificando 'something'.

    ➔ La cláusula relativa "that lasts forever" proporciona más información sobre qué tipo de "something" desea el hablante.

  • A cheer that smells of pine, a house that's filled with joy and laughter

    ➔ Cláusulas relativas ('that smells of pine', 'that's filled with joy and laughter') modificando 'cheer' y 'house' respectivamente. Elipsis del verbo 'is' en la primera cláusula.

    "that smells of pine" describe el tipo específico de cheer. "that's filled with joy and laughter" describe el tipo específico de house. La omisión de "is" (A cheer *is* that smells of pine) es una licencia poética.

  • Let's cosy on up by the fireplace and dim those Christmas lights

    ➔ Uso de 'Let's' (Let us) para hacer una sugerencia o invitación, verbo frasal 'cosy on up' (ponerse cómodo y cerca), y demostrativo 'those' para especificar luces.

    "Let's" es una forma común de sugerir una actividad compartida. "Cosy on up" implica un deseo de cercanía y comodidad. "Those Christmas lights" especifica a qué luces se refiere el hablante.
