The Waitresses – Christmas Wrapping (Sibge Edit)

Lyrics

"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from
Last year, ski shop,
Encounter, most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines.
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
I just need to catch my breath,
Christmas by myself this year.
Calendar picture, frozen landscape,
Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flashback to springtime, saw him again,
Would've been good to go for lunch,
Couldn't agree when we were both free,
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me,
Sunburn in the third degree.
Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
Hardly dashing through the snow
Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards a few calls
'Cause it's r-s-v-p
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites.
Last fall I had a night to myself,
Same guy called, halloween party,
Waited all night for him to show,
This time his car wouldn't go,
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.
A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
So on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!
"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break; this year's been crazy."
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending! "
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year!

Paroles (Traduction)

« Bah, humbug ! » Non, c'est trop fort
Parce que c'est ma fête préférée
Mais toute cette année a été un tourbillon occupé
Je ne pense pas avoir l'énergie
D'ajouter à ma course folle déjà existante
Juste parce que c'est la saison.
Le cadeau parfait pour moi serait
Des réalisations et des liens laissés par
L'année dernière, magasin de ski,
Rencontre, la plus intéressante.
J'avais son numéro mais jamais le temps
La plupart de l'année 81 s'est déroulée ainsi.
Alors décorez ces salles, taillez ces arbres
Levez les coupes de joie de Noël,
J'ai juste besoin de reprendre mon souffle,
Noël en solitaire cette année.
Image du calendrier, paysage gelé,
Cette pièce gelée pendant vingt-quatre jours,
Sapins, neige étincelante
Faites passer cet hiver vite !
Retour au printemps, je l'ai revu,
Ça aurait été bien d'aller déjeuner,
Nous n'avons pas pu nous mettre d'accord quand nous étions libres tous les deux,
Nous avons essayé, nous avons dit que nous resterions en contact.
Nous ne l'avons pas fait, bien sûr, jusqu'à l'été,
Direction la plage sur son bateau, pourrais-je le rejoindre ?
Non, cette fois c'était moi,
Un coup de soleil au troisième degré.
Maintenant le calendrier n'est plus qu'une page
Et, bien sûr, je suis excitée
Ce soir c'est le soir, mais j'ai décidé
De ne pas en faire trop à ce sujet.
Joyeux Noël ! Joyeux Noël !
Mais je pense que je vais manquer celui-ci cette année.
Joyeux Noël ! Joyeux Noël !
Mais je pense que je vais manquer celui-ci cette année.
Joyeux Noël ! Joyeux Noël !
Mais je pense que je vais manquer celui-ci cette année.
Joyeux Noël ! Joyeux Noël !
Mais je pense que je vais manquer celui-ci cette année.
À peine en train de traverser la neige
