ONE WISH (for CHRISTMAS)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh~
If there were no presents
假若聖誕老人的雪橇裡沒了耶誕節禮物
Waiting on Santa's sleigh

What would I wish for Christmas
那聖誕節我還期盼著什麼
And if Frosty, the Snowman
並且原本應該低溫凝固的雪人
Were melting away
卻正在融化
I would pray for hope and unity
我將會為了希望及凝聚而禱告
On Christmas day
在這聖誕節當天

If I had one wish for Christmas
假若我僅有一個聖誕節的願望
There would be joy and peace here on earth
那將是喜悅和平安降臨世界
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
假若我今年僅有一個聖誕節的願望
We would all come together as one
我們將會團聚一起
If Rudolph and his reindeer
假若魯道夫與他的夥伴(馴鹿)
Ran into delays
遲到了
I'd still hope for joy
我依然盼望著喜悅
This season, yeah
在這個季節,耶~
And if somehow Santa
並且聖誕老人不知何故
Got lost on his way
迷失他的方向
I would try to find a way to smile
我依舊試著面帶微笑
Smile on Christmas day, oh
在整個聖誕佳節裡保持微笑

***
If I had one wish for Christmas
假若我僅有一個聖誕節的願望
There would be joy and peace here on earth
那將是喜悅和平安降臨世界
If I had one wish for Christmas this year
假若我今年僅有一個聖誕節的願望
We would all come together as one, oh yeah
我們將會團聚在一起,oh 耶

You know it ain't about
你知道那全不是為了
All those material things, no, no
物質的慾望
What you've gotta think about
所有你想知道的
Is the love Christmas brings, yeah yeah
就是喜愛聖誕節帶來的(喜悅與祥和)

P.S. 相傳在聖誕夜前夕,耶誕老人會乘著由9隻馴鹿(Reindeers)所拉的華麗雪橇,挨家挨戶地給小孩子分送禮物。耶誕老人會將馴鹿及雪橇停在屋頂,然後扛著裝滿各式各樣的禮物袋子從煙囪緩緩爬進屋內,並將屬於這家小孩的聖誕禮物放在聖誕樹底下(另一說是放在掛好的襪子裡)。魯道夫(Rudolph)就是這9隻馴鹿的老大。以下就是這9隻馴鹿的英文名字:

  1. Rudolph 
  2. Dasher 
  3. Dancer 
  4. Prancer
  5. Vixen 
  6. Donder 
  7. Blitzen 
  8. Cupid 
  9. Comet
