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!!!
