Translation
When my friends call out to me,
decorating the room,
then let’s celebrate a Merry Christmas
on this special day called today

We were too excited to fall asleep
But we’ll be all right even without any sleep

Hey look, my heart goes “ding dong”
The bell of happiness is ringing out
You can hear it too, can’t you?
This joyful carol

Though I’m doing the cooking at the last minute
If I master perfectly
the recipe Mom gave me
then we’re all prepared for a Happy Christmas

Waiting impatiently for the party
I opened the window over and over

Hey look, outside it’s “ding dong”
with the powdered snow glittering silver
I’m sending it to you
This joyful carol

My friends are all gathered
around a huge mound of presents
When we light the candles
then let’s sing of a Holy Christmas

May next year as well
be wonderful for all of you

Hey look, my heart goes “ding dong”
The bell of happiness is ringing out
You can hear it too, can’t you?
This joyful carol

Hey look, outside it’s “ding dong”
with the powdered snow glittering silver
I’m sending it to you
This joyful carol
