JINGLE BELLS
This song was originally composed in 1857
by an American minister called James
Pierpoint, to celebrate Thanksgiving.
As it was so popular, it was repeated
for Christmas and then, it became a
traditional carol.

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, whatfun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bobtails ring,
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

Oh, 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 we, we got upset.

Oh, 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.
Dashing through the snowIn a one-horse open sleighOver the fields we goLaughing all the wayBells on bobtail ring / Hear our voices ringMaking spirits brightWhat fun it is to laugh and sing / What fun it is to ride and sing / Oh, what fun it is to singA sleighing song tonight(chorus)Jinglebells, jingle bells,Jingle all the way;Oh! what fun [joy] it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh.Jingle bells, jingle bells,Jingle all the way;Oh! what fun [joy] it is to rideIn a one-horse open sleigh.A day or two agoI thought I'd take a rideAnd soon, Miss Fanny BrightWas seated by my side,The horse was lean and lankMisfortune seemed his lotHe got into a drifted bankAnd then we [And we—we] gotupsot.(chorus)A day or two ago,The story I must tellI went out on the snow,And on my back I fell;A gent was riding byIn a one-horse open sleigh,He laughed as there I sprawling lie,But quickly drove away.(chorus)Now the ground is whiteGo it while you're young,Take the girls tonightand sing this sleighing song;Just get a bobtailed bayTwo forty as [for] his speed[and] Hitch him to an open sleighAndcrack! you'll take the lead.(chorus) | Corriendo por la nieveEn un trineo abierto de un solo caballoVamos sobre los camposRiendo todo el caminoSuenan las campanas de la corta cola / Oye nuestras voces sonarHaciendo brillar a los espíritusQué divertido es reír y cantar / Qué divertido es conducir y cantar / Oh, qué divertido es cantarUna canción de trineo esta noche(coro)Suenan las campanas, Suenanlas campanas,Suenan todo el camino;¡Oh! qué divertido es conducirUn trineo abierto de un solo caballo.Suenan las campanas, Suenan las campanas,Suenan todo el camino;¡Oh! qué divertido es conducirUn trineo abierto de un solo caballo.Hace un día o dosPensé ir a dar un paseoY pronto, la señorita Fanny BrightEstaba sentada a mi lado,El caballo era flaco y lacioLa desgracia parecía su suerteSe metió enun montón de nieveY luego nosotros, nosotros nos caímos.(coro)Hace un día o dosLa historia debo contarSalí a la nieve,Y a mi espalda sentí;Un hombre que conducíaUn trineo abierto de un solo caballo,Se echó a reír cuando yo yacía tumbado,Pero rápidamente se alejó.(coro)Ahora el suelo es blancoVe mientras seas joven,Lleva a las chicas esta nochey canta esta canción de trineos;Sólo consigue un caballobayo de cola cortadaQue haga una milla en dos minutos y cuarenta segundos[y] engánchale un trineo abiertoY ¡crac! cogerás la delantera.(coro) |
