Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow,
in a one-horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob tails ring,
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight!

Refrain
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
Oh, 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,
Misfortune seemed his lot,
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot.

Au refrain

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.

Au refrain

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.

Au refrain

Vive le vent

Sur le long chemin
Tout blanc de neige blanche ;
Un vieux monsieur s'avance
Avec sa canne dans la main ;
Et tout là-haut le vent
Qui siffle dans les branches
Lui souffle la romance
Qu'il chantait petit enfant.

Refrain :

Vive le vent, vive le vent,
Vive le vent d'hiver
Qui s'en va sifflant, soufflant
Dans les grands sapins verts.
Vive le temps, vive le temps,
Vive le temps d'hiver ;
Boules de neige et jour de l'an ;
Et bonne année grand-mère.

Et le vieux monsieur
Descend vers le village ;
C'est l'heure où tout est sage
Et l'ombre danse au coin du feu ;
Mais dans chaque maison
Il flotte un air de fête ;
Partout la table est prête
Et l'on entend la même chanson.

Refrain
