Christmastime is here
– Kei konei te kirihimete
Happiness and cheer
– Te harikoa me te harikoa
Fun for all that children call
– Fun hoki katoa e karanga tamariki
Their favorite time of year
– Ko te wā tino pai o te tau
Snowflakes in the air
– Ko ngā kōpae hukarere i te rangi
Carols everywhere
– Ngā waiata i ngā wāhi katoa
Olden times and ancient rhymes
– Ngā wā o mua me ngā waiata o mua
Of love and dreams to share
– O te aroha me ngā moemoea ki te faaite
Sleigh bells in the air
– Ko ngā karaka o te waka i te rangi
Beauty everywhere
– Ataahua nga wahi katoa
Yuletide by the fireside
– Ko te Yuletide i te taha o te ahi
And joyful memories there
– Me ngā maharatanga harikoa i reira
Christmastime is here
– Kei konei te kirihimete
Families drawing near
– Ngā whānau e whakatata mai ana
Oh, that we could always see
– Aue, e taea e tatou te kite i nga wa katoa
Such spirit through the year
– Ko taua wairua puta noa i te tau
Sleigh bells in the air
– Ko ngā karaka o te waka i te rangi
Beauty everywhere
– Ataahua nga wahi katoa
Yuletide by the fireside
– Ko te Yuletide i te taha o te ahi
And joyful memories there
– Me ngā maharatanga harikoa i reira
Christmastime is here
– Kei konei te kirihimete
Families drawing near
– Ngā whānau e whakatata mai ana
Oh, that we could always see
– Aue, e taea e tatou te kite i nga wa katoa
Such spirit through the year
– Ko taua wairua puta noa i te tau
