Christmas Wrapping [Single Edit]
Chris Butler
Bah Humbug, now 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
Chill this room for twenty-four days
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with
Flash back to spring time saw him again
Would have 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 summer time
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
Of course I am excited
Tonight's the night 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-dos
A few cards, a few calls because it's RSVP
No, thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turn 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
"Spending this one alone," he said
"I 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
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Bah Humbug, now that's too strong
Bah Humbug, c'est trop fort
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
Car c'est ma fête préférée
But all this year's been a busy blur
Mais toute cette année a été un flou occupé
Don't think I have the energy
Je ne pense pas avoir l'énergie
To add to my already mad rush
Pour ajouter à ma course déjà folle
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
Juste parce que c'est la saison
The perfect gift for me would be
Le cadeau parfait pour moi serait
Completions and connections left from last year
Des achèvements et des connexions restés de l'année dernière
Ski shop encounter most interesting
Rencontre au magasin de ski très intéressante
Had his number but never the time
J'avais son numéro mais jamais le temps
Most of '81 passed along those lines
La plupart de '81 est passée ainsi
So deck those halls trim those trees
Alors décorez ces halls, taillez ces arbres
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
Levez des verres de joie de Noël
I just need to catch my breath
J'ai juste besoin de reprendre mon souffle
Christmas by myself this year
Noël seul cette année

Flash back to spring time saw him again
Retour au printemps, je l'ai revu
Would have been good to go for lunch
Ça aurait été bien d'aller déjeuner
Couldn't agree when we were both free
On n'a pas pu se mettre d'accord quand on était tous les deux libres
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
On a essayé, on a dit qu'on resterait en contact
Didn't of course 'til summer time
Bien sûr, on ne l'a pas fait jusqu'à l'été
Out to the beach to his boat, could I join him?
À la plage, à son bateau, pourrais-je le rejoindre?
No This time it was me
Non, cette fois c'était moi

Last fall I had a night to myself
L'automne dernier, j'ai passé une nuit seule
Same guy called, Halloween party
Le même gars a appelé, fête d'Halloween
Waited all night for him to show
J'ai attendu toute la nuit qu'il se montre

Oublie ça, il fait froid, il se fait tard

Alors enfilez les bottes
Back out in the snow
De retour dans la neige
To the only all night grocery
À l'épicerie ouverte toute la nuit
When what to my wondering eyes should appear

In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
Dans la file d'attente, c'est ce gars que je poursuis toute l'année
"Spending this one alone," he said
"Passer celui-ci seul", a-t-il dit
"I need a break, this year's been crazy"
"J'ai besoin d'une pause, cette année a été folle"
I said, 'Me too, but why are you
J'ai dit, 'Moi aussi, mais pourquoi es-tu
You mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Tu veux dire que tu as aussi oublié les canneberges?'
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Puis soudainement nous avons ri et ri
Caught on to what was happening
Compris ce qui se passait

Bah Humbug, now that's too strong

Don't think I have the energy
Não acho que tenho energia
To add to my already mad rush
Para adicionar à minha já louca pressa
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
Só porque é a época natalícia
The perfect gift for me would be
O presente perfeito para mim seria
Completions and connections left from last year
Conclusões e conexões deixadas do ano passado
Ski shop encounter most interesting
Encontro na loja de esqui mais interessante

Most of '81 passed along those lines

So deck those halls trim those trees
Então enfeite esses corredores, corte essas árvores
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer

I just need to catch my breath

Na fila está aquele cara que eu tenho perseguido o ano todo

I said, 'Me too, but why are you
Eu disse, 'Eu também, mas por que você
You mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Você quer dizer que esqueceu os cranberries também?'

Ma penso che quest'anno ne perderò uno
Hardly dashing through the snow
Difficilmente correndo sulla neve
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Perché mi sono coperto troppo
Last minute have-to-dos
Ultimo minuto devo fare
A few cards, a few calls because it's RSVP
Alcune carte, alcune chiamate perché è RSVP
No, thanks, no party lights
No, grazie, no luci di festa
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
È la vigilia di Natale, mi rilasserò
Turn down all of my invites
Rifiuto tutti i miei inviti
Last fall I had a night to myself
L'autunno scorso ho avuto una notte per me
Same guy called, Halloween party
Stesso ragazzo ha chiamato, festa di Halloween
Waited all night for him to show
Aspettato tutta la notte per lui per mostrare
This time his car wouldn't go
Questa volta la sua auto non andava
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Dimenticalo, fa freddo, si sta facendo tardi
Trudge on home to celebrate
Trascina a casa per festeggiare
In a quiet way unwind
In un modo tranquillo rilassarsi
Doing Christmas right this time
Fare il Natale giusto questa volta
A&p has provided me
A&p mi ha fornito
With the world's smallest turkey
Con il tacchino più piccolo del mondo
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Già nel forno, bello e caldo
Oh damn, guess what I forgot
Oh dannazione, indovina cosa ho dimenticato
So on with the boots
Quindi con gli stivali
Back out in the snow
Di nuovo fuori nella neve
To the only all night grocery
All'unico negozio di alimentari aperto tutta la notte
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
Quando cosa ai miei occhi meravigliati dovrebbe apparire
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
Nella fila c'è quel ragazzo che ho inseguito tutto l'anno
"Spending this one alone," he said
"Passando questo da solo," ha detto
"I need a break, this year's been crazy"
"Ho bisogno di una pausa, quest'anno è stato pazzo"
I said, 'Me too, but why are you
Ho detto, 'Anche io, ma perché sei tu
You mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Vuoi dire che hai dimenticato anche i mirtilli?'
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Poi improvvisamente abbiamo riso e riso
Caught on to what was happening
Capito cosa stava succedendo
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
Quella magia del Natale ha portato questa storia
To a very happy ending
A un finale molto felice
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Buon Natale, Buon Natale
Couldn't miss this one this year
Non potevo perdere questo quest'anno
