以下歌词翻译由文曲大模型提供
The week before Thanksgiving Day
感恩节前的一周时光
This town puts up its old display
小镇挂起往年的节日装潢
Streetlights hung with candy canes and bows
路灯缠绕着拐杖糖与缎带飘扬
The earlier it gets each year
年复一年节日来得匆忙
The scarcer is my Christmas cheer
我的圣诞欢愉却日渐稀朗
I guess I just like taking these things slow
或许我更偏爱从容品味这景象
I really don't remember much
童年圣诞的记忆已泛黄
Of Christmases growing up
往事如烟难追详
Except the year the Beatles came to play
唯有那年披头士来巡演
On my record player that came from Sears
西尔斯唱片机旋转不停
That white album filled my ears
白色专辑在耳畔回响
In 1968 on Christmas Day
1968年圣诞时光
I haven't been to church
我已许久未踏入教堂
Since God knows when
久到记不清年份
I'm not someone who usually attends
素来不是虔诚礼拜之人
Truth be told there's just two wishes
说真的 我只有两个愿望
On my list every Christmas
每年圣诞心愿清单上
Peace on earth and a snow storm now and then
祈愿世界和平 偶尔飘落皑皑白雪
Now I pray that peace comes in our time
此刻我祈祷和平降临人间
It's hard enough to keep from crying
强忍泪水已用尽全部力气
When every bit of news just breaks your heart
每则新闻都让人心碎不已
The same old stories same old songs
循环播放的老故事老歌谣
We dust them off when Christmas comes
我们在圣诞时节轻轻拂去尘埃
For one day we just try to do our part
至少这一天 努力传递温暖光点
And around here winter seems to come
这里的冬天总是如期而至
With rain and mud and bits of sun
伴着细雨泥泞 偶现暖阳
It's not exactly Currier and Ives
虽不如画中圣诞那般诗意
I don't mind cold if it brings snow
若飞雪相随 严寒亦无妨
Alberta Clippers come and go
阿尔伯塔寒流来了又往
But a dusting would make everything alright
薄雪轻覆便胜却人间万象
Perhaps a Christmas Eve from long ago
或许久远前某个平安夜
Delivered Christmas Day
正孕育着明日圣诞晨光
With knee high snow
及膝深的皑皑白雪
It's something lost but not forgotten
是遗失却未曾遗忘的珍贵
Like candy hidden in a stocking
像藏在圣诞袜里的糖果
That makes me every year wish it were so
让我年年祈愿重现这般光景
Because Christmas is for children's joy
因圣诞是孩童的欢愉时光
For every single girl and boy
属于每个纯真的小姑娘小男孩
That's the truth we come to understand
这是我们终将明白的真理
But the memories that don't let go
唯有那些记忆始终萦绕心头
Like Beatles songs and falling snow
如披头士的歌声与飘落的雪花
Can make us feel innocent again
让我们重拾纯真时光
And maybe next year we won't go insane
或许来年我们不再迷失方向
When they rush to hang the bows
当人们匆忙挂起彩带
And candy canes
与拐杖糖的芬芳
Because peace will shine in me and you
因和平之光将照亮你我心房
From Bethlehem to Timbuktu
从伯利恒延至廷巴克图远方
Even if the forecast is for rain
即便天气预报说要下雨
Because peace will shine in me and you
因和平之光将照亮你我心房
From Bethlehem to Timbuktu
从伯利恒延至廷巴克图远方
Even if the forecast is for rain
即便天气预报说要下雨
