I Believe in Father Christmas
Greg Lake, Peter John Sinfield, Serge Prokofieff
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
'Til I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
That I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'd be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth
Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
Ils ont dit qu'il y aurait de la neige à Noël
They said there'll be peace on earth
Ils ont dit qu'il y aurait la paix sur terre
But instead it just kept on raining
Mais au lieu de cela, il a juste continué à pleuvoir
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
Un voile de larmes pour la naissance de la vierge
I remember one Christmas morning
Je me souviens d'un matin de Noël
A winter's light and a distant choir
Une lumière d'hiver et un choeur lointain
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
Et le carillon d'une cloche et cette odeur de sapin de Noël
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
Et leurs yeux remplis de guirlandes et de feu
They sold me a dream of Christmas
Ils m'ont vendu un rêve de Noël
They sold me a silent night
Ils m'ont vendu une nuit silencieuse
And they told me a fairy story
Et ils m'ont raconté une histoire de fées
'Til I believed in the Israelite
Jusqu'à ce que je croie en l'Israélite
And I believed in father Christmas
Et j'ai cru au Père Noël
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
J'ai regardé le ciel avec des yeux excités
That I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
Puis je me suis réveillé avec un bâillement à la première lumière de l'aube
And I saw him and through his disguise
Et je l'ai vu et à travers son déguisement
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
Je vous souhaite un Noël plein d'espoir
I wish you a brave new year
Je vous souhaite une nouvelle année courageuse
All anguish, pain and sadness
Toute angoisse, douleur et tristesse
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
Quittez votre cœur et laissez votre route être claire
They said there'd be snow at Christmas
Ils ont dit qu'il y aurait de la neige à Noël
They said there'll be peace on earth
Ils ont dit qu'il y aurait la paix sur terre
Hallelujah, Noel be it heaven or hell
Alléluia, Noël soit-il au ciel ou en enfer
The Christmas we get we deserve
Le Noël que nous obtenons, nous le méritons
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
Eles disseram que haverá neve no Natal

But instead it just kept on raining
Mas em vez disso, continuou apenas chovendo
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
Um véu de lágrimas pelo nascimento virginal
I remember one Christmas morning
Eu me lembro de uma manhã de Natal
A winter's light and a distant choir
Uma luz de inverno e um coral distante
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
E o toque de um sino e aquele cheiro de árvore de Natal
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
E seus olhos cheios de tinsel e fogo
They sold me a dream of Christmas
Eles me venderam um sonho de Natal
They sold me a silent night
Eles me venderam uma noite silenciosa
And they told me a fairy story
E eles me contaram uma história de fadas
'Til I believed in the Israelite
Até eu acreditar no israelita
And I believed in father Christmas
E eu acreditei no Papai Noel
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Eu olhei para o céu com olhos excitados
That I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
Que eu acordei com um bocejo na primeira luz da alvorada
And I saw him and through his disguise
E eu o vi e através de seu disfarce
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
Eu te desejo um Natal esperançoso
I wish you a brave new year
Eu te desejo um novo ano corajoso
All anguish, pain and sadness
Toda angústia, dor e tristeza
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
Deixe seu coração e deixe seu caminho ser claro

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
Dijeron que habría nieve en Navidad
They said there'll be peace on earth
Dijeron que habría paz en la tierra
But instead it just kept on raining
Pero en lugar de eso, simplemente siguió lloviendo
A veil of tears for the virgin birth
Un velo de lágrimas por el nacimiento virginal
I remember one Christmas morning
Recuerdo una mañana de Navidad
A winter's light and a distant choir
Una luz de invierno y un coro distante
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
Y el repique de una campana y ese olor a árbol de Navidad
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
Y sus ojos llenos de oropel y fuego
They sold me a dream of Christmas
Me vendieron un sueño de Navidad
They sold me a silent night
Me vendieron una noche silenciosa
And they told me a fairy story
Y me contaron un cuento de hadas
'Til I believed in the Israelite
Hasta que creí en el israelita
And I believed in father Christmas
Y creí en Papá Noel
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Miré al cielo con ojos emocionados
That I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
Que desperté con un bostezo en la primera luz del amanecer
And I saw him and through his disguise
Y lo vi y a través de su disfraz
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
Te deseo una Navidad llena de esperanza
I wish you a brave new year
Te deseo un valiente año nuevo
All anguish, pain and sadness
Todo angustia, dolor y tristeza
Leave your heart and let your road be clear

A veil of tears for the virgin birth
Ein Schleier aus Tränen für die Jungfrauengeburt
I remember one Christmas morning
Ich erinnere mich an einen Weihnachtsmorgen
A winter's light and a distant choir
Ein Winterlicht und ein ferner Chor

And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
Und ihre Augen voller Lametta und Feuer

Sie verkauften mir eine stille Nacht
And they told me a fairy story
Und sie erzählten mir eine Märchengeschichte
'Til I believed in the Israelite
Bis ich an den Israeliten glaubte
And I believed in father Christmas
Und ich glaubte an den Weihnachtsmann
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Ich schaute mit aufgeregten Augen in den Himmel
That I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
Dass ich mit einem Gähnen im ersten Licht der Morgendämmerung aufwachte
And I saw him and through his disguise
Und ich sah ihn und durch seine Verkleidung
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
Ich wünsche dir ein hoffnungsvolles Weihnachtsfest

I remember one Christmas morning
Ricordo una mattina di Natale
A winter's light and a distant choir
Una luce invernale e un coro lontano
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell
E il rintocco di una campana e quel profumo di albero di Natale
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
E i loro occhi pieni di tinsel e fuoco
They sold me a dream of Christmas
Mi hanno venduto un sogno di Natale
They sold me a silent night

E ho creduto in Babbo Natale
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Ho guardato il cielo con occhi eccitati

Dan mata mereka penuh dengan kilauan dan api
They sold me a dream of Christmas
Mereka menjualku mimpi tentang Natal
They sold me a silent night
