Christmas

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas! The happy birth mass for Christ’s sake season is here We amass ourselves in the cold with our crowns Bestowed on us by the holy birth of Jesus Christ We celebrate the gift God gave for our sake For His gift of immortality, God gave Christ for our eternal life Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas! The weather is cold everywhere Pointing to the chills everywhere Over here, the dry wind blows Air filled with dry dusty hot chilled wind blows Hardening the ankles and lips to crack While in the night cold swallows the heat from the track By the fireside storytelling and roasting of ‘brodidwo’ (plantain) becomes a necessity The season calls to unite us around the fire and the Christmas tree While the fire gives use warmth, we celebrate the bread of life’s birth Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Afehyia pa oooo! Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas! The weather is cold everywhere Pointing to the chills everywhere Over there, the snowy wind blows Air filled with snowy-ice chilled wind blows Hardening the waters that now and then crack While in the night cold swallows the fun from the track The woolen jackets with red and white fur becomes a necessity Not just for the sake of their decorative beauty The season calls to unite us around the chimney and the Christmas tree While the fire and jacket give warmth, we celebrate the bread of life’s birth Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, season’s greetings oooo! The weather is cold everywhere Pointing to the chills everywhere Everywhere harvest time is over Yet the best of meals are shared at dinner and the rest handed over To friends, families and foes Wishing you Merry Christmas; Season’s greetings, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Do you have Christ, the gift of eternal life? If you don’t the gift is born for you this day Wish anyone in sight Merry Christmas with your gift box in hand now or on Boxing Day. As God gave His only one child, and all who accepts this Gift becomes children of God The gift you give multiplies not from the receiver but from the creator of Kalmar. To fill your ban abundantly in the days ahead of you in diverse ways Throw away your sinful ways, Engross Christ in you this Christmas. Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Season’s greetings! Afehyia pa oooo!!!
