Рождественскими песни в Америке.

[Aelen]

Одна из вещей, нежно любимых мною, это книга с рождественскими песнями, которую я привезла из Америки. Она тонкая, но большая по размеру, с красивыми детскими иллюстрациями и кнопочками с динамиком сбоку, нажав на которые можно услышать короткое пиликанье песни.
В этом посте - сбор песен из этой книжки и лириксов к ним.
Не удивляйтесь, если здесь не только амерканские, но и английские по происхождению песни. Как-никак, Америка берет своё начало в основном именно от Англии. Даже не так - почти все песни здесь являются английскими.
Также не все выложенные аудиозаписи являются оригиналами. Есть многие перепевки.
Надеюсь, вам пригодится.

I. Jolly Old St. Nicholas.

Текст песни

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way;
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say,

Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Now you dear old man,
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve,
When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black
With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one;
You'll be sure to know.

Johnny wants a pair of skates;
Susy wants a dolly;
Nellie wants a story book--
She thinks dolls are folly;
As for me, my little brain
Isn't very bright;
Choose for me, old Santa Claus,
What you think is right.

II. Deck the halls.

Текст песни

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
'Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
While I tell of Yuletide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

III. Over the river and through the wood.

Текст песни

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the woods
To have a full day of play.
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling,
For it is Christmas Day.
Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray

IV. Toyland.

Текст песни

Toyland, Toyland
little girl and boy land
While you dwell within it
you are ever happy there

Childhood's joyland
mystic merry Toyland
Once you pass its borders
you can never return again
While you dwell within it
you are ever happy there

Childhood's joyland
mystic merry Toyland
Once you pass its borders
you can never return again

For once you pass its borders
you can never return again.

V. Christmas is coming.

Текст песни

Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat,
Please put a penny
In the old man's hat.

If you haven't got a penny,
A ha'penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha'penny,
Then God bless you.

VI. Jingle Bells.

Текст песни

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
Over 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, O

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O 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;
Mis fortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank,
And we, we got upset. O

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

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 as there
I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away, O

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Now the ground is white
Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you’ll take the lead, O

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

VII. We wish you a merry christmas.

Текст песни

We wish you a merry Christmas;
We wish you a merry Christmas;
We wish you a merry Christmas
and a happy New Year!

Good tidings we bring
wherever you are
Good tidings for Christmas
and a happy New Year!

Now, bring us some figgy pudding;
now, bring us some figgy pudding;
Now, bring us some figgy pudding
and bring some out here!

For we all like figgy pudding;
for we all like figgy pudding;
For we all like figgy pudding:
so bring some out here!

And we won't go until we've got some;
We won't go until we've got some;
And we won't go until we've got some;
so bring some out here!

VIII. O Christmas Tree

Текст песни

O Christmas Tree O, Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us.
They’re green when summer days are bright;
They’re green when winter snow is white.
O, Christmas Tree, O, Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
How oft at Christmas tide the sight,
O green fir tree, gives us delight!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
You give us so much pleasure!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us.
They’re green when summer days are bright;
They’re green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!

IX. Here we come a-caroling.

Текст песни

Here we come a-caroling,
Among the leaves so green!
Here we coma a-wandering,
So fair to be seen!

Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!

We are not daily beggars,
That go from door to door!
But we are friendly neighbours,
Whom you have seen before!

Love and joy come to you,
And to you glad Christmas too,
And God bless you and send you,
A Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year!

X. Up on the housetop.

Текст песни

Up on the housetop
Reindeer paws
Down comes good ole Santa CLaus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones Christmas joys

Ho ho ho who wouldn't go

Could you see what a glorious ??
Here is a hammer and lots of tacks

Up on the housetop click click click
Down through the chimney with good St. Nick
