Ave Maria, Schubert


Dona Gelsinger


Ave Maria
Gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus
Dominus tecum
Benedicta tu in mulieribus
Et benedictus
Et benedictus fructus ventris
Ventris tuae, Jesus.
Ave Maria


Ave Maria
Mater Dei
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Ora pro nobis
Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
Nunc et in hora mortis
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Et in hora mortis nostrae
Ave Maria

Apesar desta canção não ter letra de Natal, gosto muito de a ouvir durante as festas porque me transmite muita Paz e Serenidade. Assim deviam correr os dias...

Christmas without you


Max Weber


White Christmas and I'm blue
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The fireplace keeps burning and my thoughts keep turning
The pages of memories of time spent with you
Old Christmas songs we knew and used to make love to
Make it hard to get used to
Christmas without you

Refrão:
Christmas without you
White Christmas and I'm blue
I love you I miss you
So sad but so true
Christmas without you
Like a mystery with no clues
Like fireworks with no fuse
Christmas without you
The sweetest gift I know would be if the new snow
Could fall on your footsteps on this Christmas eve
The most joyous Christmas if luck could be with us
Would be if Saint Nicholas brought you home to me

Refrão

Letra e música de Dolly Parton e Steve Goldstein

Já é Natal


Bill Bell

Já é Natal
Jesus nasceu
Os homens vem salvar
Recebe o seu amor
Prepara-lhe um lugar
E canta em seu louvor

Já é Natal
Jesus é Rei
Aclama o teu senhor
A Terra e o Céu
Os campos e o mar
Exultam no Criador

Já é Natal
A luz brilhou
E a Terra despertou
Num canto triunfal
Proclamou com amor
A glória do Senhor

Já é Natal
Jesus nasceu
Os homens vem salvar
Recebe o seu amor
Prepara-lhe um lugar
E canta em seu louvor


A todos os visitantes e amigos do amorizade, desejo-vos um Natal sereno recheado de momentos felizes e de muito afecto!

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, Judy Garland


Egidio Antonaccio


Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.


Esta canção foi imortalizada por Judy Garland. A música é de Hugh Martin e a letra de Ralph Blane. Surgiu em 1943 e é considerada a canção de Natal mais triste de sempre.

Alegrem-se os céus e a terra


Fada de Natal encontrada na Fairyland


Refrão:
Alegrem-se os céus e a terra
Cantemos com alegria
Já nasceu o Deus Menino
Filho da Virgem Maria

Entrai pastorinhos, entrai
Por este portal sagrado
Vinde adorar o menino
Numas palhinhas deitado

Refrão

Em Belém à meia-noite
Meia-noite de Natal
Nasceu Jesus num presépio
Maravilha sem igual

Refrão

Ai que Menino tão Belo
Ai que tanto graça tem
Ai que tanto se parece
com a virgem Sua mãe

Refrão

Gloria in excelsis deo

Ah! Vinde todos neste dia
Cantar um hino de louvor
Hino de paz e de alegra
Que os anjos cantam ao senhor

Refrão:
Glória in excelsis Deo
Glória in excelsis Deo

Naquela hora abençoada
Em que nasceu o Senhor
A terra inteira foi abraçada
Pelas palavras deste clamor

Refrão

Há uma voz pela campina
Anunciando que Deus nasceu
Naquela gruta tão pobrezinha
Cantam os anjos do céu

Refrão

Winter Wonderland


Joseph Farquharson


Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
Until the other kiddies knock him down.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Walking in a winter wonderland,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Esta canção é de 1934. Foi composta por Felix Bernard (1897-1944) e a letra é de Richard B. Smith (1901-1935). É uma das canções clássicas de Natal mais famosas porque contribuiu para dar uma visão mágica de Natal à neve e aos seus bonecos. Foi interpretada por the Andrews Sisters e Perry Como.

Merry Christmas Baby, Otis Redding


Merry Christmas baby
Sure do treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby

Bought me a diamond ring for Christmas
I feel like I'm in paradise

I feel mighty fine, y'all

For my baby and for me, ha, ha, ha

For everything that you give me
I love you, honey...

Christmas through your eyes, Gloria Estefan


Red eye landscape, by Alfred Gockel


Till I had you I didn't know
That I was missing out
Had to grow up and see the world
Through different shades of doubt
Give me one more chance to dream again
One more chance to feel again
Through your young heart
If only for one day let me try

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was mine
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

I see the rain, you see the rainbow hiding in the clouds
Never afraid to let your love show
Won't you show me how
Wanna learn how to believe again
Find the innocence in me again
Through your young heart
Help me find a way, help me try

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was kind
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I want everything to be the way it used to be
Back to being a child again thinking the world was kind
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes

I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas, I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I wanna see, I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see, I wanna see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes
I wanna see Christmas
I want to see Christmas
I wanna see Christmas through your eyes

Happy Christmas, war is over - John Lennon

Merry Xmas (WAR IS OVER)
(Happy Xmas Kyoko
Happy Xmas Julian)

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas

Do they know it's Christmas time, Band Aid


Eugene Steele


It's Christmastime,
there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime,
we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
at Christmastime

But say a prayer,
pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard,
but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window,
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life(Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Esta música ainda hoje me arrepia ou em dias de blues, até me vêm as lágrimas aos olhos. Foi muito bonito ver as pessoas unirem-se em torno da música para salvar da fome milhões de pessoas... :) E já se passaram 20 anos!

Driving home for Christmas, Chris Rea


I’m driving home for christmas
Oh, I can’t wait to see those faces
I’m driving home for christmas, yea
Well I’m moving down that line
And it’s been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas

It’s gonna take some time
But I’ll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
But soon there’ll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground

So I sing for you
Though you can’t hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
I am driving home for christmas
Driving home for christmas
With a thousand memories

I take look at the driver next to me
He’s just the same
Just the same

Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights on the run
I’m driving home for christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can’t hear me
When I get trough
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for christmas
Driving home for christmas
With a thousand memories

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town

You’d better watch out
You’d better not cry
You’d better not pout
I’m telling you why

Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town

He’s making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice

Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town

He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

Oh, you’d better watch out
You’d better not cry
Better not pout
I’m telling you why

Oh! santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town

Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town

Little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toot
And rump-a-tum-tum
Curly-haired dolls
That tootle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too

Oh! santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town

One more time now..

Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town
Santa claus is comin’ to town

Here comes Santa Claus


Imagem de Tom Browning


Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
Oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed and cover your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He doesn't care if you're rich or poor
He loves you just the same
Santa Claus knows we're all Gods children
That makes everything right
So fill your hearts with Christmas cheer
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He'll come around when the chimes ring out
That it's Christmas morn again
Peace on earth will come to all
It we just follow the light
So lets give thanks to the lord above
That Santa Claus comes tonight!

White Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Especialmente para a Rute.

Esta canção foi escrita em 1942 por Irving Berlin e é cantada pelo Bing Crosby na banda sonora do filme Holiday Inn, que fala sobre os soldados da 2ª guerra mundial num Natal Branco com saudades das suas famílias. Depois fez-se outro filme chamado White Christmas também com o Bing Crosby. É talvez a mais conhecida canção de Natal em todo o mundo.

Last Christmas, Wham

Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special (2X)

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus:

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Oooh Oooh
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus:

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
(Gave you my heart)
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Next year
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
special, someone, someone
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
who'll give me something in return
I'll give it to someone
hold my heart and watch it burn
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
I've got you here to stay
I can love you for a day
I thought you were someone special
gave you my heart
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone
last christmas I gave you my heart
you gave it away
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

Esta canção de Natal fala dum amor desiludido e contudo é tão alegre. Gosto muito dela. Sempre que ouço os sininhos das renas integrados nesta música, fico bem-humorada :)

Qual é a tua canção favorita de Natal (nacional ou estrangeira)?

Publicado por jacky às 12:43 PM

Let it snow

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of Pauseping,
And I've bought some corn for popping,
The lights are turned way down low,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight,
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bying,
But as long as you love me so,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Especialmente para a ponto azul :)

Natal de Elvas


Raphael

Refrão
Olhei para o céu, estava estrelado
Vi o Deus Menino empalhas deitado.
Em palhas deitado, em palhas estendido,
Filho duma rosa, dum cravo nascido!

Estas palavras disse a Virgem
Ai quando nasceu o Menino
Ai vinde cá meu anjo loiro
Meu sacramento divino

Refrão

Eu hei-de dar ao Menino
Uma fitinha pró chapéu
E ele também me há-de dar
Um lugarzinho no céu.

Refrão

Mon beau sapin

Mon beau sapin, roi des forêts
Que j'aime ta verdure !
Quand par l'hiver, bois et guérets
Sont dépouillés de leurs attraits
Mon beau sapin, roi des forêts
Tu gardes ta parure.

Toi que Noël planta chez nous
Au saint anniversaire,
Mon beau sapin, comme il est doux
De te voir briller par nous,
{variante:
Mon beau sapin, comme ils sont doux
et tes bonbons et tes joujoux}
Toi que Noël planta chez nous
Scintillant de lumière.

Mon beau sapin tes verts sommets
Et leur fidèle ombrage
De la foi qui ne ment jamais
De la constance et de la paix.
Mon beau sapin tes verts sommets
M'offrent la douce image.

Petit Papa Noel


Peggy Abrams


C'est la belle nuit de Noël
La neige étend son manteau blanc
Et les yeux levés vers le ciel,
A genoux, les petits enfants,
Avant de fermer les paupières,
Font une dernière prière.

{Refrain:}
Petit Papa Noël
Quand tu descendras du ciel
Avec des jouets par milliers
N'oublie pas mon petit soulier

Mais, avant de partir,
Il faudra bien te couvrir
Dehors tu vas avoir si froid
C'est un peu à cause de moi

Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève
Pour voir si tu m'as apporté
Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêve
Et que je t'ai commandés

{Refrain}

Le marchand de sable est passé
Les enfants vont faire dodo
Et tu vas pouvoir commencer
Avec ta hotte sur le dos
Au son des cloches des églises
Ta distribution de surprises

Et quand tu seras sur ton beau nuage
Viens d'abord sur notre maison
Je n'ai pas été tous les jours très sage
Mais j'en demande pardon

{Refrain}
Petit Papa Noël...

Douce nuit, sainte nuit !
Dans les cieux ! L'astre luit.
Le mystère annoncé s'accomplit
Cet enfant sur la paille endormi,
C'est l'amour infini ! {x2}

Saint enfant, doux agneau !
Qu'il est grand ! Qu'il est beau !
Entendez résonner les pipeaux
Des bergers conduisant leurs troupeaux
Vers son humble berceau ! {x2}

C'est vers nous qu'il accourt,
En un don sans retour !
De ce monde ignorant de l'amour,
Où commence aujourd'hui son séjour,
Qu'il soit Roi pour toujours ! {x2}

Quel accueil pour un Roi !
Point d'abri, point de toit !
Dans sa crèche il grelotte de froid
O pécheur, sans attendre la croix,
Jésus souffre pour toi ! {x2}

Paix à tous ! Gloire au ciel !
Gloire au sein maternel,
Qui pour nous, en ce jour de Noël,
Enfanta le Sauveur éternel,
Qu'attendait Israël ! {x2}

Sino de Belém - Jingle Bells


Letra de Lúcia Carvalho


Em Belém, em Belém
O sino a tocar
Vem lembrar, vem lembrar
Que já é Natal

Vamos a correr
Pelos campos fora
Para ver Jesus
Que nasceu agora
Jesus pequenino
Tão lindo que é
Junto de Maria
e do velho S. José

Em Belém, em Belém
O sino a tocar
Vem lembrar, vem lembrar
Que já é Natal

Canta a voz do sino
Cantemos também
Ao Jesus Menino
que está em Belém
Jesus pequenino
Vinde adorar
Diz a voz do sino
Sempre, sempre a badalar

Em Belém, em Belém
O sino a tocar
Vem lembrar, vem lembrar
Que já é Natal

Letra e música de James Pierpont(1857)

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

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, misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank and we got upset

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

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

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

Blue Christmas


Letra e música de Billy Hayes e Jay Johnson (1948)


I'll have a blue Christmas without you;
I'll be so blue thinking about you.
Decorations of red
on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing if
you're not here with me.

I'll have a blue Christmas, that's certain;
And when that blue heartache starts hurting,
You'll be doing all right
with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas


Gosto muito da versão desta canção cantada pelo Elvis Presley. Até gosto da maioria das suas versões do seu cd especial Natal :)

Muitos milhões de meninos, felizes

A todos um Bom Natal
A todos um Bom Natal
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós

Vão aos saltos pela casa
Descalças ou com chinelos
Procurar suas prendas, tão belas

A todos um Bom Natal
A todos um Bom Natal
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós

Depois há danças de roda
As crianças dão as mãos
No Natal todos se sentem irmãos

A todos um Bom Natal
A todos um Bom Natal
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós

Se isto fosse verdade
Para todos os Meninos
Era bom ouvir os sinos tocar.

A todos um Bom Natal
A todos um Bom Natal
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós
Que seja um Bom Natal, para todos vós

Adeste Fidelis - O Come all ye faithful


Imagem de Joyce Cleveland


Adeste Fideles
Laeti triumphantes
Venite, venite in Bethlehem
Natum videte
Regem angelorum
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum

Cantet nunc io
Chorus angelorum
Cantet nunc aula caelestium
Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum

Ergo qui natus
Die hodierna
Jesu, tibi sit gloria
Patris aeterni
Verbum caro factus
Venite adoremus, Venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
Oh come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;
come and behold him, born the King of angels;
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

God of God, light of light,
lo, he abhors not the virgin's womb;
very God, begotten not created:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation,
sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
glory to God in the highest:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

See how the shepards summoned to his cradel,
leaving their flocks, draw nigh with lowly fear;
we too will thither hend our joyful footsteps;
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Child, for us sinners, poor and in the manger,
We would embrace thee, with love and awe;
Who would not live thee, loving us so dearly?
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning;
Jesus, to thee be glory given;
word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Noite Feliz - Silent Night


Barbara Mock


Noite Feliz,
Noite Feliz
Ó Senhor
Deus do amor
Pobrezinho nasceu em Belém
Eis na lapa Jesus nosso bem
Dorme em paz, ó Jesus
Dorme em paz, ó Jesus

Noite Feliz,
Noite Feliz
Ó Jesus
Deus da luz
Quão afável é teu coração
Que quisestes nascer nosso irmão
E a nós todos salvar
E a nós todos salvar

Noite feliz,
Noite feliz
Eis que no ar vem cantar
Aos pastores Seus anjos no céu
Anunciando a chegada de Deus
De Jesus Salvador
De Jesus Salvador

Qual é a tua canção de Natal favorita?
A minha é mesmo esta, cantada em qualquer língua do mundo :)

Silent Night

Silent night
Holy night
All is calm
All is bright
?round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night
Holy night
Son of god
Oh love?s pure light
Radiant beams from
Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus lord at thy birth
Oh jesus lord at thy birth...

Sleep
Sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Peace
Sleep
Sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace

All I want for Christmas is you, Mariah Carrey


Carol Robinson

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true...
All I want for Christmas is
You... yeah yeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
(and I) Don't care about presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you...
You baby

Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
(and I) I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You baby

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere (so brightly yeah)
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing (oh yeah)
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need -
won't you please bring my baby to me...

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You (You) baby

All I want for Christmas is you baby... (repeat)

Quem desejas este Natal?
