Cantece de Mos Nicolae

Ghetutele lui Mos Nicolae

Cand vine Mosul Nicolae,

Cel mai darnic dintre sfinti,

Cadouri lasa in ghetute,

Celor care-au fost cuminti.

Ghetutele, toate ghetutele,

Nerabdatoare stralucesc.

Ghetutele, toate ghetutele,

Asteapta daruri si zambesc.

As fi dorit o bicicleta,

Sau un mic automobil.

Dar e mare si nu-ncape,

In ghetute de copil.

Ghetutele, toate ghetutele,

Nerabdatoare stralucesc.

Ghetutele, toate ghetutele,

Asteapta daruri si zambesc.

Ar fi putut sa-ncapa darul,

Ghete mari de-as fi avut.

Bunicul poarta 44,

I le iau cu imprumut.

Ghetutele, toate ghetutele,

Nerabdatoare stralucesc.

Ghetutele, toate ghetutele,

Pentru cadouri multumesc.

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas

Jolly Old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way;
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say,

Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Now you dear old man,
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve,
When I'm fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black
With your pack you'll creep;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one;
You'll be sure to know. (In unele versiuni: "Mended at the toe.")

Johnny wants a pair of skates;
Susy wants a dolly;
Nellie wants a story book.
She thinks dolls are folly; (In unele versiuni: "She thinks they are jolly.")
As for me, my little brain
Isn't very bright;
Choose for me, old Santa Claus,
What you think is right.
