Jingle bells

Ein sehr bekanntes traditionelles amerikanisches Weihnachtslied von James Lord Pierpont (ca. 1855-1857) für die Advents- und Weihnachtszeit.

Liedtext: Jingle bells

1. Dashing thro’ the snow,
in a one horse open sleigh,
over the hills we go,
laughing all the way;
Bells on bob tail ring,
making spirits bright,
oh, what sport to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.

2. A day or two ago
I tho’t I’d take a ride
and soon Miss Fannie Bright
was seated by my side,
the horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seem’d his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And we – we got up sot.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.

3. 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.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.

4. Now the ground is white,
go it while you’re young,
take the girls to night
and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob tailed bay
two forty as his speed
hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack, you’ll take the lead.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, Jingle bells,
Jingle all the way;
Oh! what joy it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh.
