Lyrics
It’s Christmas time
– Isikhathi Sikakhisimusi
There’s no need to be afraid
– Asikho isidingo sokwesaba
At Christmas time
– Ngesikhathi Sikakhisimusi
We let in light and we banish shade
– Sivumela ukukhanya futhi sixosha umthunzi
And in our world of plenty
– Futhi ezweni lethu lokuningi
We can spread a smile of joy
– Singasakaza ukumamatheka kwenjabulo
Throw your arms around the world
– Phonsa izingalo zakho emhlabeni wonke
At Christmas time
– Ngesikhathi Sikakhisimusi
But say a prayer
– Kodwa thandaza
Pray for the other ones
– Thandazela abanye
At Christmas time it’s hard
– Ngesikhathi Sikakhisimusi kunzima
But when you’re having fun
– Kodwa uma uzijabulisa
There’s a world outside your window
– Kunomhlaba ongaphandle kwefasitela lakho
And it’s a world of dread and fear
– Futhi izwe lokwesaba nokwesaba
Where the only water flowing is
– Lapho okuwukuphela kwamanzi agelezayo
The bitter sting of tears
– Ukuluma okubabayo kwezinyembezi
And the Christmas bells that ring there
– Nezinsimbi Zikakhisimusi ezishaya lapho
Are the clanging chimes of doom
– Yizingoma ezihlaba umxhwele zokubhujiswa
Well, tonight thank God it’s them instead of you
– Kulobubusuku, ngibonga Unkulunkulu ukuthi yibo esikhundleni sakho
And there won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time
– Futhi ngeke Kube khona iqhwa E Afrika kulesi sikhathi Sikakhisimusi
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is life, ohh
– Isipho esikhulu kunazo zonke abazosithola kulo nyaka ukuphila, ohh
Where nothing ever grows
– Lapho kungekho lutho olukhulayo
No rain or rivers flow
– Akukho mvula noma imifula egelezayo
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all? Ohh
– Ingabe bayazi ukuthi sekuyisikhathi Sikakhisimusi? Ohh
Here’s to you
– Nansi kuwe
Raise a glass for everyone
– Iseisa ingilazi yawo wonke umuntu
Here’s to them
– Nansi kubo
Underneath that burning sun
– Ngaphansi kwalelo langa elivuthayo
Do they know it’s Christmas time at all?
– Ingabe bayazi ukuthi sekuyisikhathi Sikakhisimusi?
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
– Batshele ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sikakhisimusi futhi
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Let them know it’s Christmas time
– Batshele ukuthi sekuyisikhathi Sikakhisimusi
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
– Batshele ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sikakhisimusi futhi
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Let them know it’s Christmas time
– Batshele ukuthi sekuyisikhathi Sikakhisimusi
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Let them know it’s Christmas time again
– Batshele ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sikakhisimusi futhi
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Let them know it’s Christmas time
– Batshele ukuthi sekuyisikhathi Sikakhisimusi
Feed the world
– Yondla umhlaba
Let them know…
– Batshele…
