Lyrics
It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark
– Li te 24 desanm Sou Hollis Ave nan fènwa
When I see a man chilling with his dog in the park
– Lè m wè yon nonm ki ap refwadi ak chen l nan pak la
I approached very slowly with my heart full of fear
– Mwen te pwoche trè dousman ak kè m plen pè
Looked at his dog, oh my God, an ill reindeer
– Gade nan chen l’, oh bondye mwen, yon ren malad
But then I was illin’ because the man had a beard
– Men, lè sa a, mwen te malad paske nonm lan te gen yon bab
And a bag full of goodies, 12 o’clock had neared
– Ak yon sak plen bon bagay, 12 è te apwoche
So I turned my head a second and the man had gone
– Se konsa mwen vire tèt mwen yon dezyèm ak nonm lan te ale
But he left his driver’s wallet smack dead on the lawn
– Men li te kite bous chofè li a mouri sou gazon an
I picket the wallet up, and then I took a pause
– Mwen pikèt bous la moute, ak lè sa a, mwen te pran yon poz
Took out the license and it cold said “Santa Claus”
– Te pran lisans lan ak li frèt te di “Santa Claus”
A million dollars in it, cold hundreds of G’s
– Yon milyon dola nan li, frèt dè santèn De g a
Enough to buy a boat and matching car with ease
– Ase pou achte yon bato ak matche machin ak fasilite
But I’d never steal from Santa, ’cause that ain’t right
– Men, mwen pa janm vòlè Nan Men Santa, paske sa pa bon
So I was going home to mail it back to him that night
– Se konsa mwen te ale lakay pou voye l tounen ba li nan aswè a
But when I got home I bugged, ’cause under the tree
– Men lè m te rive lakay mwen mwen te bugged, paske anba pyebwa a
Was a letter from Santa and the dough was for me
– Te yon lèt Ki Soti Nan Santa ak farin lan te pou mwen
It’s Christmastime in Hollis Queens
– Li Nan Nwèl Nan Hollis Queens
Mom’s cooking chicken and collard greens
– Manman an ap kwit poul ak kolye vèt
Rice and stuffing, macaroni and cheese
– Diri ak ranpli, makaroni ak fwomaj
And Santa put gifts under Christmas trees
– Epi Santa mete kado anba pyebwa Nwèl
Decorate the house with lights at night
– Dekore kay la ak limyè nan mitan lannwit
Snow’s on the ground, snow-white so bright
– Nèj sou tè a, nèj-blan tèlman klere
In the fireplace is the yule log
– Nan chemine a se bwa a yule
Beneath the mistletoe as we drink egg nog
– Anba mistletoe a pandan nou bwè ze nog
The rhymes that you hear are the rhymes of Darryl’s
– Rim Ou tande yo se rim Darryl
But each and every year we bust Christmas carols, Christmas carols
– Men chak ane nou kraze nwèl carols, Nwèl carols
Rhymes so loud, I’m proud you hear it
– Rim tèlman fò, mwen fyè ou tande li
It’s Christmastime and we got the spirit
– Se Nwèl e nou gen lespri a
Jack Frost chillin’, the hawk is out
– Jack Frost chillin’, hawk la se soti
And that’s what Christmas is all about
– E se Sa Nwèl la ye
The time is now, the place is here
– Tan an se kounye a, kote a se isit la
And the whole wide world is filled with cheer
– Ak tout mond lan lajè se plen ak kè kontan
My name’s D.M.C. with the mic in my hand
– Non mwen Se D. M. C. ak mikwofòn nan men mwen
And I’m chilling and coolin’ just like a snowman
– E mwen ap chill ak coolin ‘ jis tankou yon moun nèj
So open your eyes, lend us an ear
– Se konsa, louvri je ou, prete nou yon zòrèy
We wanna say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
– Nou vle di Bon Nwèl ak Happy New Year
