Paroles:

[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

...

Grammaire:

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

    ➔ Voix passive ('are hung') et 'as' comme conjonction de simultanéité.

    ➔ La voix passive "are hung" décrit l'action que subissent les bas. "as" relie deux actions qui se produisent en même temps : les bas sont suspendus et les enfants dorment.

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

    ➔ Construction 'There is/are' et 'cause' (because) comme conjonction abrégée.

    "There's" indique l'existence. "'cause" est une abréviation informelle de "because", utilisée pour expliquer la raison de la déclaration.

  • Each year I ask for many different things

    ➔ Utilisation de 'each' pour souligner l'individualité au sein d'un groupe, et le présent simple 'ask' pour une action répétée.

    "Each year" précise que chaque année l'orateur fait des demandes. Le présent simple "ask" montre qu'il s'agit d'une action habituelle.

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

    ➔ Proposition subordonnée substantive comme objet de 'know' ('what my heart wants you to bring').

    ➔ L'expression "what my heart wants you to bring" agit comme un seul nom, étant ce que l'orateur sait.

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

    ➔ Mode impératif ('fall in love') et utilisation de 'just' pour adoucir l'ordre. 'This Christmas' comme adverbe de temps.

    "Fall in love" est une demande directe. "Just" rend la demande moins exigeante. "This Christmas" précise quand l'action demandée doit avoir lieu.

  • Won't be wrapped under a tree

    ➔ Futur simple passif négatif ('won't be wrapped').

    ➔ Cela décrit quelque chose qui ne se produira pas dans le futur et souligne également que l'orateur n'effectue pas l'action d'envelopper, mais est plutôt agi sur.

  • I want something that lasts forever

    ➔ Proposition relative ('that lasts forever') modifiant 'something'.

    ➔ La proposition relative "that lasts forever" fournit plus d'informations sur le type de "something" que l'orateur désire.

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

    ➔ Propositions relatives ('that smells of pine', 'that's filled with joy and laughter') modifiant 'cheer' et 'house' respectivement. Ellipse du verbe 'is' dans la première proposition.

    "that smells of pine" décrit le type spécifique de cheer. "that's filled with joy and laughter" décrit le type spécifique de house. L'omission de "is" (A cheer *is* that smells of pine) est une licence poétique.

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

    ➔ Utilisation de 'Let's' (Let us) pour faire une suggestion ou une invitation, verbe à particule 'cosy on up' (se mettre à l'aise et se rapprocher), et démonstratif 'those' pour spécifier les lumières.

    "Let's" est une façon courante de suggérer une activité partagée. "Cosy on up" implique un désir de proximité et de confort. "Those Christmas lights" précise à quelles lumières l'orateur fait référence.
