[English]

Ah ha

Bells will be ringing the glad glad news

Oh what a Christmas to have the blues

My baby's gone I have no friends

To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing "Silent Night"

Oh, Christmas carols by candlelight

Please come home for Christmas

Please come home for Christmas

If not for Christmas by New Years night

Friends and relations send salutations

Sure as the stars shine above

Oh this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear

The time of year to be with the ones you love

Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?

Christmas and New Years will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain

Because I'll be happy, happy once again

Mmm yeah

Oh oh oh ya

No more sorrow, no grief, no pain

Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again

Oh, friends and relations send salutations

Sure as the stars shine above

Oh this is Christmas, yes, Christmas my dear

The time of year to be with the one you love

Then won't you tell me you'll never more roam?

Christmas and New Years will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow, no grief, no pain

Because it's Christmas, Christmas once again
