Hark! How the bells, sweet silver bells
– Hawu! Indlela iintsimbi, iintsimbi zesilivere ezimnandi
All seem to say, “Throw cares away”
– All seems saying, “fade away”
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
– Ikrismesi ilapha, izisa uvuyo
To young and old, meek and the bold
– Kwabancinci nabadala, abalulamileyo nabanesibindi
Ding, dong, ding, dong, that is their song
– Dong, dong, dong, dong, le yingoma yabo
With joyful ring, all caroling
– Ngendandatho evuyayo, yonke i-caroling
One seems to hear, words of good cheer
– Umntu ubonakala esiva, amazwi okuvuya
From everywhere, filling the air
– From anywhere ukulele
Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
– Owu, indlela abayiphakamisa ngayo, ukuphakamisa isandi
O’er hill and dale, telling their tale
– U-o’er hill kunye nodale, uxelela ibali labo
Gaily they ring, while people sing
– Gay bayakhala, ngoxa abantu becula
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here
– Iingoma Ezimnandi Zekrismesi zilapha
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
– Joyous Celebration, Joyous Celebration, joyous Celebration
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
– Joyous Celebration, Joyous Celebration, joyous Celebration
On-on they send, on without end
– About-endings, endings
Their joyful tone to every home
– Ithoni yabo evuyisayo kwikhaya ngalinye
