'Twas ib puas xyoo dhau los no Christmas Eve
Ntuj zoo li muab cov tub rog tawm mus
Txawm muab lawv rab phom tso tseg, thiab hauv kev phooj ywg ntseeg.

Christmas carols nrov thoob plaws lub ntiaj teb uas tawg
tshaib plab thiab nkees, ob tog npau suav ntawm tsev thiab hearth
Sawv ntawm nws lub trench, ib tug tub hluas German tau taug kev mus rau qhov Tsis Muaj Txiv Neej Lub Tebchaws
Nyob rau hauv nws txhais tes yog ib tug tswm ciab ci tsob ntoo Christmas, nws zaj nkauj yog ib hmo uas ntsiag to.
Tseem, tsis muaj kev txhaj tshuaj los ntawm sab hnub poob. Zaj nkauj ua tau tiav, tsob ntoo cog rau ntawm lub plhaub-blasted stump.
Tom qab ntawd, los ntawm ob sab, cov tub ceev xwm taug kev mus rau tsob ntoo thiab sib tham, tau txiav txim siab.
Cov txiv neej ntawm ob tog txiav txim siab tias, txawm tias tsis ntev lawv yuav tsum tua dua, Christmas yuav tsum yog lub sijhawm muaj kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb.
Nyob rau pem hauv ntej muaj kev sib tw, raws li cov txiv neej ntsib, sib koom nkauj, rations thiab cawv, duab ntawm tsev neeg thiab cov phooj ywg.
Kev ncaws pob tsuas yog kev tsov rog hmo ntawd, Cov phoojywg tiv thaiv Germans, thiab tsis muaj leej twg paub leej twg "yeej".

Hmo ntawd muaj kev hlub thiab kev ua kwv tij, zaub mov thiab schnapps, brandy, rum thiab nkauj.
Paub tias lawv tab tom sib ntaus "lawv tus kheej," phem heev lawv tsis tau muab lawv rab phom pov tseg.
nce thiab nqis pem hauv ntej nws tuaj yeem kis tau, cov tub rog pov lawv rab phom, taug kev mus tsev.
Hu tawm mus rau cov thawj coj, yog tias lawv xav ua tsov rog tiag tiag, los tawm tsam ntawm lawv tus kheej.
Xaus plaub xyoos ntawm kev ntshai heev, ua ntej nws tsis tau pib.
