Used to laugh
And call him names

Join in any reindeer games

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

As they shouted out with glee

You'll go down in history"

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the down of redeeming grace,

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun.

Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air.

What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.

That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell,
That's the jingle bell rock.

7. Villancico White Christmas en inglés para niños

I'm dreaming
Of a white Christmas
Just like the ones
I used to know
Where the tree-tops
Glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells
In the snow.

I'm dreaming
Of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry
And bright
And may all your Christmases
Be white".

I'm dreaming
Of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry
And bright
And may all your Christmases
Be white".

8. Canción en inglés: Frosty, the snowman

"Frosty the Snowman" es una tradicional canción navideña en inglés que fue escrita por Walter Rollins y Steve Nelson, y grabada por primera vez en 1950, aunque la versión más conocida es la que realizó Jimmy Durante.

Frosty the snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe
And a button nose
and two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the snowman
Is a fairy tale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around

Frosty the snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me

Frosty the snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said, "Let?s run
And we?ll have some fun
Now before I melt away"

Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there
All around the square
Saying "Catch me if you can"

He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler "Stop!"

Frosty the snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye saying,
"Don?t you cry
I?ll be back again some day"

Thumpity, thump, thump
Thumpity, thump, thump
Look at Frosty go

Thumpity, thump, thump
Thumpity, thump, thump
Over the hills of snow.
