White Christmas
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas be white
Bianco Natale
Quel lieve tuo candor, neve,
discende lieto nel mio cuor.
Nella notte santa il cuor esulta
d’amor, è Natale ancor.
E viene giù dal ciel lento,
un dolce canto ammaliator
che ti dice “Spera anche tu.”
È Natale, non soffrire più.
Oh…oh oh oh oh
E viene giù dal ciel lento,
un dolce canto ammaliator
che ti dice “Spera anche tu.”
È Natale, non soffrire più.
Jingle bells
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight.
chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh,
O Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank And there we got upsot.
A day or two ago The story I must tell
I went out on the snow And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You’ll take the lead.
