Lyrics
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
– Ukubhaka ama-chestnut emlilweni ovulekile
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
– Ujack Frost nipping at ekhaleni lakho
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
– Izingoma ze-yuletide eziculwa ikwaya
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
– Futhi abantu bagqoke njengama Eskimo
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
– Wonke umuntu uyazi i turkey ne mistletoe ethile
Help to make the season bright
– Usizo ukwenza isizini bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
– Izimbongolo ezincane ezinamehlo akhanyayo
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
– Kuyoba nzima ukulala kulobubusuku
They know that Santa’s on his way
– Bayazi Ukuthi Usanta usendleleni
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
– Ulayishe amathoyizi amaningi nezinto ezinhle esikebheni sakhe
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
– Futhi wonke umntwana kamama uzoba inhloli
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
– Ukuze ubone ukuthi reindeer ngempela ukwazi ukundiza
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
– Ngakho nginikeza le nkulumo elula
To kids from one to ninety-two
– Ezinganeni ezisukela koyedwa kuya kwabangamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nambili
Although it’s been said many times
– Nakuba kuye kwashiwo izikhathi eziningi
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you
– Izindlela eziningi, Merry Christmas kuwe
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
– Ngakho nginikeza le nkulumo elula
To kids from one to ninety-two
– Ezinganeni ezisukela koyedwa kuya kwabangamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nambili
Although it’s been said many times
– Nakuba kuye kwashiwo izikhathi eziningi
Many ways, Merry Christmas to you
– Izindlela eziningi, Merry Christmas kuwe
