It’s Christmas time
– Fotoana Krismasy izao
There’s no need to be afraid
– Tsy misy tokony hatahorana
At Christmas time
– Amin’ny Krismasy
We let in light and we banish shade
– Avelantsika hiditra ny hazavana ary esorintsika ny alokaloka
And in our world of plenty
– Ary ao amin’ny tontolontsika be dia be
We can spread a smile of joy
– Afaka manaparitaka tsiky fifaliana isika
Throw your arms around the world
– Atsipazo manerana izao tontolo izao ny sandrinao
At Christmas time
– Amin’ny Krismasy
But say a prayer
– Fa mivavaha
Pray for the other ones
– Mivavaha ho an’ny hafa
At Christmas time it’s hard
– Amin’ny Krismasy dia sarotra izany
But when you’re having fun
– Fa rehefa miala voly ianao
There’s a world outside your window
– Misy tontolo ivelan’ny varavarankelinao
And it’s a world of dread and fear
– Ary tontolon’ny tahotra sy tahotra izany
Where the only water flowing is
– Izay ny hany rano mikoriana dia
The bitter sting of tears
– Ny ranomaso mangidy
And the Christmas bells that ring there
– Ary ny lakolosy Krismasy izay maneno eo
Are the clanging chimes of doom
– Moa ve ny feon’ny fandringanana
Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you
– Eny, anio alina misaotra An’andriamanitra fa izy ireo fa tsy ianao
And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time
– Ary tsy hisy lanezy Any Afrika amin’ity krismasy Ity
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life, ohh
– Ny fanomezana lehibe indrindra ho azon’izy ireo amin’ity taona ity dia ny fiainana, ohh
Where nothing ever grows
– Izay tsy misy na inona na inona mitombo
No rain or rivers flow
– Tsy misy orana na renirano mikoriana
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all? Ohh
– Fantatr’izy ireo ve Fa fotoana Krismasy izao? Ohh
Here’s to you
– Ity ny anao
Raise a glass for everyone
– Atsangano vera ho an’ny rehetra
Here’s to them
– Ho azy ireo
Underneath that burning sun
– Eo ambanin’io masoandro mirehitra io
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
– Fantatr’izy ireo ve Fa fotoana Krismasy izao?
