Jingle bells! Jingle bells! Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Dashing through the snow in a one -horse open sleigh,
over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That’s the jingle bell rock.

I’m dreaming of the White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the treetops glisten /ˈɡlɪsən/
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.I’m dreaming of the White Christmas
With every Christmas card I write:
May you days be merry and bright.
And may all your Christmases be White.
Sto sognando un bianco Natale
proprio come quelli che ho vissuto
dove le cime degli alberi luccicano
e i bambini stanno attenti per ascoltare
le campane della slitta nella nevesto sognando un bianco Natale
con ogni bigliettino di Natale che scrivo
possano i tuoi giorni essere felici e luminosi
e possano i tuoi Natali essere bianchi
