Jingle Bells

Com votos de Boas Festas ouça Frank Sinatra & Bing Crosby em Jingle Bells.

Jingle Bells, originalmente conhecida como One Horse Open Sleigh, é uma das mais comuns e conhecidas canções natalícias do mundo. Foi escrita e composta por James Lord Pierpont (1822–1893) e publicada como One Horse Open Sleigh em 1857. Tratava-se, contudo, de uma canção para o dia de ação de graças e não para o Natal. A canção retrata as experiências do eu lírico ao andar pela neve num trenó puxado a cavalo.

Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Refrão

Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh! What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh (2x)

Refrão

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side,
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot

Refrão

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
But quickly drove away

Refrão

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight
and sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty as for his speed
And hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead
