'Twas the Night Before Christmas - Michael Bublé (麦可·布雷)
Lyrics by:Jochem van der Saag/Michael Bublé
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
就在圣诞节的前一晚 整个家里静悄悄
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse
就连老鼠也不闹
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
长袜已细心的挂在壁炉旁
In the hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there
满心期待着圣诞老人能立马出现
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
孩子们都已经在舒适的小床上酣然入睡了
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads
各种甜蜜的梦想还萦绕在他们的脑海中
Mom in her 'kerchief and I in my cap
妈妈戴着头巾 我戴着帽子
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap
当我们刚躺下 准备在这个冬日里好好地睡上一觉时
When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter
在门外的草坪上 突然传来了一阵喧哗声
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
我一下从床上跳了下来 想一探究竟
Away to the window I flew like a flash
于是我像闪电般冲到窗前
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
我打开百叶窗 猛地推开窗户
The moon on the breast of a new-fallen snow
只见月光洒落在皑皑白雪的大地
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below
好像给万物披上了正午的阳光
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
我看到令人难以置信的景象
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer
竟是一辆精巧的小雪橇和八只小驯鹿
With a little old driver so lively and quick
上面坐着一个驾车的小老头 他无比愉悦 马车开的飞快
Well I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick
我立刻明白了 他就是圣诞老人
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came
小鹿像骏马般冲锋 比老鹰还要快速
And he whistled and shouted and he called them by name
他吹着口哨 吆喝 还叫小鹿的名字
On Dasher on Dancer
(驯鹿名字)
On Prancer on Vixen
On Comet on Cupid
On Donner and Blitzen
To the top of the porch
冲向门廊顶上
To the top of the wall
冲向围墙顶上
Now dash away dash away
快冲啊 加油
Dash away all
飞奔吧
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
在飓风肆虐前 枯叶早已凋零
When they meet to an obstacle mount to the sky
只要他们遇到阻挡 就会攀向天空
So up to the rooftop of the courses they flew
所以骏马向上飞翔 飞到屋顶之上
With a sleigh full of toys and saint Nicholas too
雪橇上载满了各种玩具 圣诞老人也坐在雪橇上
Then in a twinkling I heard on the roof
然后一眨眼的工夫 我听到屋顶传来了一阵欢呼雀跃的声音
The prancing the pawing of each little hoof
连小鹿也高兴地蹦蹦跳跳
As I drew in my head and was turning around
我的脑海中一直萦绕着这样的场景
Down the chimney Saint Nicholas came with a bound
圣诞老人背着一个大包袱从烟囱那里跳下来
He was dressed in all furs from his head to his foot
他从头裹到脚穿着裘皮大衣
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
他的衣服上布满了尘土和烟灰
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back
背着一袋子沉甸甸的玩具
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack
他看起来就像一个小贩正在打开他的包裹
His eyes how they twinkled his dimples how merry
他眨着明亮的双眸 他笑得多么开心
His cheeks were like roses his nose like a cherry
他的面颊红得像红玫瑰 他的鼻子被冻得通红
His droll little mouth was drawn up in a bow
他张着小嘴就像拉开的弓一样向上翘起
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow
他下巴上的胡须像雪花一樣白
The stump of his pipe he held tight in his teeth
他的嘴里紧紧地叼着一支烟斗
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
吐出的烟雾像花环盘旋在他的头顶上
He had a broad face and a little round belly
他的脸庞很宽 他的小肚子圆滚滚的
That shook when he laughed like a bowl full of jelly
当他哈哈大笑的时候 那圆滚滚的肚子就像会果冻一样
He was chubby and plump a right jolly old elf
他圆圆的 胖胖的
And I laughed when I saw him in spite of myself
他丰满圆润 像是传说中的小精灵
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
他向我眨了眨眼 点了点头
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread
他让我立刻明白了 我根本就不需畏惧
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work
他什么都没说 但是 他恪尽职守
And he filled all the stockings and then turned with a jerk
将礼物塞进所有的长筒袜中 然后他就急急忙忙地离开了
And laying a finger to the side of his nose
他摸了摸冻得通红的鼻子
And giving a nod up the chimney he rose
心满意足地点了点头 爬上烟囱离开了
He sprang to his sleigh and to his team gave a whistle
跳上雪橇 向驯鹿队吹了一声口哨
And away they flew like the down of a thistle
就飞驰而去了 不留一丝痕迹
But I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight
但是 在他离开之前 我听到了他的一声惊叹
Merry Christmas to all and to all good night
祝大家圣诞快乐
Good night
大家晚安
