Lyrics
It was Christmas Eve babe
– Se Te nwèl Eve babe
In the drunk tank
– Nan tank la bwè
An old man said to me: “Won’t see another one”
– Yon granmoun te di m: “Mwen Pap wè yon lòt”
And then he sang a song
– Apre sa li te chante yon chante
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
– Rare Old Mountain Dew La
I turned my face away
– Mwen vire figi m
And dreamed about you
– Ak reve sou ou
Got on a lucky one
– Te gen yon chans
Came in eighteen to one
– Te vini nan dizwit nan yon sèl
I’ve got a feeling
– Mwen gen yon santiman
This year’s for me and you
– Ane sa a se pou mwen ak ou
So happy Christmas
– Se konsa Bon Nwèl
I love you baby
– Mwen renmen ou ti bebe
I can see a better time
– Mwen ka wè yon pi bon moman
When all our dreams come true
– Lè tout rèv nou yo rive vre
They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
– Yo gen machin gwo tankou ba, yo gen rivyè lò
But the wind goes right through you
– Men van an pase dwat nan ou
It’s no place for the old
– Li pa yon kote pou granmoun
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
– Lè ou te premye pran men m ‘ sou yon Frèt Nwèl Eve
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
– Ou te pwomèt mwen Broadway te ap tann pou mwen
You were handsome
– Ou te bèl
You were pretty
– Ou te bèl
Queen of New York City
– Rèn Vil New York
When the band finished playing
– Lè gwoup la te fini jwe
They howled out for more
– Yo te kriye pou plis
Sinatra was swinging,
– Sinatra te ap balanse,
All the drunks they were singing
– Tout moun ki te bwè yo te chante
We kissed on a corner
– Nou bo sou yon kwen
Then danced through the night
– Lè sa a, danse nan mitan lannwit lan
The boys of the NYPD choir
– Ti gason yo nan nypd chwa a
Were singing “Galway Bay”
– Te chante “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day
– Epi klòch yo te sonnen pou jou Nwèl la
You’re a bum, you’re a punk
– Ou se yon boul, ou se yon punk
You’re an old slut on junk
– Ou se yon vye fanm sou fatra
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
– Kouche la prèske mouri sou yon gout nan kabann sa a
You scumbag, you maggot
– Ou scumbag, ou maggot
You’re cheap and you’re haggard
– Ou pa chè e ou se haggard
Happy Christmas your arse
– Bon Nwèl bourik ou
I pray God it’s our last
– Mwen priye Bondye se dènye Nou
The boys of the NYPD choir
– Ti gason yo nan nypd chwa a
Still singing “Galway Bay”
– Toujou ap chante “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out
– Epi klòch yo ap sonnen
For Christmas Day
– Pou Jou Nwèl La
I could have been someone
– Mwen te kapab yon moun
Well so could anyone
– Oke se konsa te kapab nenpòt moun
You took my dreams from me
– Ou te pran rèv mwen nan men m
When I first found you
– Lè m te jwenn ou pou premye fwa
I kept them with me babe
– Mwen te kenbe yo avè m babe
I put them with my own
– Mwen mete yo ak pwòp mwen
Can’t make it alone
– Pa ka fè l pou kont li
I’ve built my dreams around you
– Mwen te bati rèv mwen bò kote ou
The boys of the NYPD choir
– Ti gason yo nan nypd chwa a
Still singing “Galway Bay”
– Toujou ap chante “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out
– Epi klòch yo ap sonnen
For Christmas Day
– Pou Jou Nwèl La
