原歌词
[00:00.000] 作曲 : David Stefan Rovics
[00:05.047] We wake up in the morning, get out of our warm bed
[00:09.516] My daughter often asks me about something someone said
[00:14.032] Often asking questions, why things are the way they are
[00:18.560] Watching Portland passing by from the back seat of the car
[00:23.247] As we drove across the bridge, saw the people underneath
[00:28.104] She said “if they don’t have a door, where do they put their wreath?”
[00:35.548] I couldn’t think of how to answer when she asked me if it’s true
[00:40.455] That Santa brings them presents, too
[00:47.654] We always say hello to the people that we meet
[00:52.357] Give a dollar to the man who asks can you spare something to eat
[00:56.923] We marvel at the tree in the center of the city
[01:01.707] “Look at all the lights,” she says, “they’re so colorful and pretty
[01:06.449] But those kids who live in tents, where do they put the cookie tray?
[01:11.092] With a roof so thin, how can he land his sleigh?”
[01:18.315] I couldn’t think of how to answer when she asked me if it’s true
[01:23.107] That Santa brings them presents, too
[01:52.229] What if they’ve been good all year – what they were supposed to do, they did
[01:56.768] What if they’ve been kind to all the other kids
[02:01.420] What if they got good grades, A’s on every test
[02:05.817] Slept well through the night and let their parents rest
[02:10.453] But where would they put their toys if they got them anyway
[02:15.195] Maybe he could just give them a house on Christmas Day
[02:22.129] I couldn’t think of how to answer when she asked me if it’s true
[02:26.945] That Santa brings them presents, too
[02:31.767] I couldn’t think of how to answer when she asked me if it’s true
[02:36.485] That Santa brings them presents, too
[02:41.450] That Santa brings them presents, too
歌词翻译
[00:05.047] 我们清晨从温暖的床上醒来
[00:09.516] 我的女儿经常问我有关别人的事
[00:14.032] 经常问,为什么事情会这样?
[00:18.560] 她在汽车后座看着路旁的波特兰
[00:23.247] 当我们驶过桥,她看着桥下的人们
[00:28.104] 她说“他们没有门,那把花环放在哪儿?”
[00:35.548] 当她如此问我,我想不出如何回答
[00:40.455] 圣诞老人也会给他们带礼物
[00:47.654] 我们总是向路上的人打招呼
[00:52.357] 给那些乞讨食物的人一美元
[00:56.923] 我们对城市中心的树感到惊奇
[01:01.707] 她说:“看看这些灯多彩又漂亮
[01:06.449] 但帐篷的孩子把饼干盘放在哪儿?
[01:11.092] 屋顶这么薄,圣诞老人的雪橇该怎么降落?”
[01:18.315] 当她如此问我,我想不出如何回答
[01:23.107] 圣诞老人也会给他们带礼物
[01:52.229] 如果他们一整年都表现良好,尽其所能?
[01:56.768] 如果他们和其他孩子相处良好?
[02:01.420] 如果他们成绩好,每门都取得A?
[02:05.817] 如果他们晚上睡得好,让父母安静休息?
[02:10.453] 但如果他们得到玩具,又会放在哪里?
[02:15.195] 也许圣诞老人可以在圣诞节给他们一栋房子
[02:22.129] 当她如此问我,我想不出如何回答
[02:26.945] 圣诞老人也会给他们带礼物
[02:31.767] 当她如此问我,我想不出如何回答
[02:36.485] 圣诞老人也会给他们带礼物
[02:41.450] 圣诞老人也会给他们带礼物
