The week before Thanksgiving Day
感恩节前一周
This town puts up its old display
这座城市又旧事重提
Streetlights hung with candy canes and bows
街灯上挂着拐杖糖和蝴蝶结
The earlier it gets each year
一年比一年早
The scarcer is my Christmas cheer
难得一见的东西是我的圣诞快乐
I guess I just like taking these things slow
我想我只是喜欢慢慢来
I really don't remember much
我真的记不太清了
Of Christmases growing up
成长的圣诞节
Except the year the Beatles came to play
除了披头士乐队登场的那一年
On my record player that came from Sears
用我的唱片播放器播放来自西尔斯的歌
That white album filled my ears
那张白色的专辑在我耳边响起
In 1968 on Christmas Day
1968年的圣诞节
I haven't been to church
我没有去过教堂
Since God knows when
天知道什么时候
I'm not someone who usually attends
我一般不会出席
Truth be told there's just two wishes
说实话我只有两个愿望
On my list every Christmas
每个圣诞节都在我的清单上
Peace on earth and a snow storm now and then
大地一片宁静时而暴风雪肆虐
Now I pray that peace comes in our time
现在我祈祷和平降临在我们的时代
It's hard enough to keep from crying
忍住不哭已经很难了
When every bit of news just breaks your heart
每一个消息都让你伤心欲绝
The same old stories same old songs
同样的故事同样的老歌
We dust them off when Christmas comes
圣诞节到来时我们会让他们一败涂地
For one day we just try to do our part
有一天我们只想做好自己的分内事
And around here winter seems to come
冬天似乎就要来了
With rain and mud and bits of sun
雨水泥泞还有些许阳光
It's not exactly Currier and Ives
这不是柯里尔·艾维斯的风格
I don't mind cold if it brings snow
我不介意天气寒冷会下雪
Alberta Clippers come and go
阿尔伯塔快船来来去去
But a dusting would make everything alright
但一场腥风血雨会让一切安然无恙
Perhaps a Christmas Eve from long ago
也许是很久以前的平安夜
Delivered Christmas Day
在圣诞节那天送上门
With knee high snow
雪高及膝
It's something lost but not forgotten
这是一种失落但无法忘怀的感觉
Like candy hidden in a stocking
就像藏在袜子里的糖果
That makes me every year wish it were so
这让我每年都希望真的如此
Because Christmas is for children's joy
因为圣诞节是为了孩子们的欢乐
For every single girl and boy
每一个单身男孩女孩
That's the truth we come to understand
这就是我们渐渐明白的真相
But the memories that don't let go
但那些回忆无法释怀
Like Beatles songs and falling snow
就像披头士的歌和飘落的雪
Can make us feel innocent again
可以让我们再次感到天真无邪
And maybe next year we won't go insane
也许明年我们就不会失去理智
When they rush to hang the bows
当他们冲上云霄
And candy canes
拐杖糖
Because peace will shine in me and you
因为安宁会在你我之间绽放光芒
From Bethlehem to Timbuktu
从伯利恒到廷巴克图
Even if the forecast is for rain
即使天气预报说会下雨
Because peace will shine in me and you
因为安宁会在你我之间绽放光芒
From Bethlehem to Timbuktu
从伯利恒到廷巴克图
Even if the forecast is for rain
即使天气预报说会下雨
