Chestnuts roasting on an open fire 00:24

Jack Frost nipping at your nose 00:33

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir 00:44

And folks dressed up like Eskimos 00:52

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe 01:03

Will help to make the season bright 01:12

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow 01:21

Will find it hard to sleep tonight 01:27

They know that Santa's on his way 01:35

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh 01:43

And every mother's child is gonna spy 01:50

To see if reindeer really know how to fly 01:58

So, I'm offering this simple phrase 02:08

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Jack Frost nipping at your nose

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir

And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

Will help to make the season bright

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way

He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

So, I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said many times, many ways

Merry Christmas to you

And every mother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although it's been said, many times, many ways

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you

Gramática:

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

➔ Participio presente como adjetivo ('roasting')

➔ La palabra "roasting" es un participio presente utilizado como adjetivo, modificando el sustantivo "chestnuts". Describe la acción que están experimentando las castañas. Es más conciso que decir "Chestnuts that are roasting...".
Jack Frost nipping at your nose

➔ Participio presente ('nipping') en cláusula relativa reducida o modificador adverbial.

➔ "Nipping" actúa como una descripción de lo que Jack Frost está haciendo. Implica que Jack Frost es "who is nipping at your nose", una cláusula relativa abreviada.
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe

➔ Concordancia sujeto-verbo ('everybody knows')

➔ "Everybody" es un pronombre indefinido singular y, por lo tanto, toma la forma verbal singular "knows".
Will help to make the season bright

➔ Futuro simple ('will help') con infinitivo de propósito ('to make')

➔ "Will help" expresa una acción futura. "To make" expresa el propósito de la ayuda, explicando por qué ayudarán.
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow

➔ Frase preposicional ('with their eyes all aglow') modificando 'tiny tots'

➔ La frase preposicional "with their eyes all aglow" describe la condición de los "tiny tots". Agrega detalles descriptivos al sujeto.
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

➔ Futuro simple ('will find') con 'it' como sujeto de relleno y una frase infinitiva ('to sleep') como el sujeto real.

➔ Usar "it" como sujeto de relleno permite una estructura de oración más natural, especialmente cuando el sujeto es una frase infinitiva más larga. En lugar de decir "To sleep tonight will be hard for them", la oración se reorganiza para usar "it".
They know that Santa's on his way

➔ Contracción ('Santa's') y elipsis de 'is' (Santa is on his way --> Santa's on his way)

➔ La contracción 'Santa's' es una forma común de abreviar "Santa is", haciendo que la oración sea más conversacional e informal.
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

➔ Pregunta indirecta ('if reindeer really know how to fly')

➔ Esta es una pregunta indirecta porque está incrustada dentro de una declaración más grande ("To see"). El orden de las palabras es el mismo que una declaración, no una pregunta directa. Compare con "Do reindeer really know how to fly?" (pregunta directa).
Although it's been said many times, many ways

➔ Pasiva de pretérito perfecto ('it's been said') en una cláusula adverbial ('Although...')

➔ La pasiva de pretérito perfecto "it's been said" indica una acción que sucedió en un momento no especificado en el pasado y sigue siendo relevante. La cláusula adverbial "Although..." introduce una idea contrastante.
