We'll all sing our songs. 我们都会唱我们的歌。

While the kids can't sleep from guessing, 而孩子们不能从猜测睡觉，

When Santa's gonna come. 当圣诞老人会来。

The presents all are waiting, 礼物都在等待，

But I've got what I need. 但我已经得到了我所需要的。

See there's something about the waiting, 看到有一些关于等待，

But knowing what's to come. 但我们知道什么样的来。

And the same old conversations, 和老的谈话，

No one goes to sleep until, 没有人进入睡眠状态，直到

The angel gets his wings. 天使得到他的翅膀。

   

Christmas Eve, 圣诞节前夕，

There's hope in the snow that's falling. 有希望在的落在雪地上。
