Rocking´around the christmas tree Lyrics- Brenda Lee
Rocking around the Christmas Tree at the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Ev'ry couple tries to stop. Rocking around the Christmas Tree Let the Christmas Spirit ring Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
and we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing "Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly" Rocking around the Christmas Tree Have a happy holiday Everyone's dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way
Rocking around the Christmas Tree Let the Christmas Spirit ring Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing "Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly" Rocking around the Christmas Tree Have a happy holiday Everyone's dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way. And now, you can find the translation into spanish:
Bailando alrededorDel árbol de navidad
En la gran fiesta de navidad,
Se puede ver como
Las parejas intentan parar
Bajo el acebo colgado.
Bailando alrededor
Del árbol de navidad
Se puede sentir el espíritu de la navidad,
Después tendremos pastel de calabaza
Y cantaremos algunos villancicos.
(Estribillo)
Sentirás algo especial
Cuando escuches
Voces cantando vamos a ser felices,
Y decores las paredes con ramas de acebo.
Bailando alrededor del árbol de navidad
Deseando disfrutar de unas felices vacaciones,
Todos bailan alegremente
Siguiendo la nueva moda.
Parties and holidays are different in each country, so it's valuable if we know the British Christmas parties:
Advent is the period of four weeks before Christmas. The Advent calendar originated in Germany. It consists of a card with 25 little doors, which are opened each day until Christmas. Behind each door there is a Christmas scene and usually a piece of chocolate for the kids.
Christmas Eve is on December 24th. It's the night when Santa Claus (in the USA) or Father Christmas (in the UK) comes and fills the children's stockings with presents.
Christmas Day is on December 25th. People usually go to mass and have a meal together with their family or friends. The Queen gives a traditional speech.
Boxing Day is on December 26th. People give presents to servants and friends. In the UK it's a public holiday. It originated in medieval times, when every priest was supposed to open the alms box and distribute the money or gifts to the poor people.
Twelfth Night is on January 6th. There's a period of Twelve Days after Christmas, during which people gathers with friends and have parties. The "Three Kings' Day" is not celebrated in England or USA.
