Lyrics
Bah! Humbug! Now that’s too strong
– Ang yuta! Humbug! Kini kuat
‘Cause it is my favorite holiday
– Tungod kay kini ang akong pinalabi nga holiday
But all this year’s been a busy blur
– Bisan pa niining tuiga kini usa ka busy nga blur
Don’t think I have the energy
– Wala akong energy
To add to my already mad rush
– Sa pagdugang sa akong na buang rush
Just ’cause it’s ’tis the season
– Tungod lang kay kini ang season
The perfect gift for me would be
– Ang perpekto nga regalo para sa akon
Completions and connections left from last year
– Ang pagkompleto ug pagkonekta nakuha gikan sa miaging tuig
Ski shop encounter, most interesting
– Skiing store, interesting
Had his number but never the time
– Ang iyang numero apan wala ‘ y panahon
Most of ’81 passed along those lines
– Kadaghanan sa ’81 milabay sa daplin sa mga linya
So deck those halls
– Busa deck sa mga hawanan
Trim those trees
– Guntinga kadtong mga kahoy
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
– Up Up Up Mga Kapalpakan Ng Pasko
I just need to catch my breath
– Kinahanglan ko lang nga moginhawa
Christmas by myself this year
– Pasko sa akong kaugalingon niini nga tuig
Calendar picture, frozen landscape
– Kalendaryo hulagway, frozen nga talan-awon
Chill this room for 24 days
– Pabugnawa kini nga lawak sulod sa 24 ka adlaw
Evergreens, sparkling snow
– Mga evergreen, nagkidlap nga niyebe
Get this winter over with!
– Kuhaa kini nga tingtugnaw!
Flashback to springtime, saw him again
– Springtime, saw usagi
Would have been good to go for lunch
– Maayo unta ug naa pay paniudto
Couldn’t agree when we were both free
– Dili ko makauyon sa diha nga kita duha free
We tried, we said we’d keep in touch
– Gisulayan namon, giingon namon nga magpadayon kami sa paghikap
Didn’t of course, ’til summertime
– Wala lang, till summer
Out to the beach, to his boat, could I join him?
– Sa baybayon, sa iyang sakayan, pwede ba kitang samahan?
No, this time it was me
– Tidak, kali ni saya pulak
Sunburn in the third degree
– Sunburn sa ikatulong ang-ang
Now the calendar’s just one page
– Usa lang ka panid ang kalendaryo
Of course I am excited
– Siyempre excited ako
Tonight’s the night I’ve set my mind
– Karong gabhiona akong gihanduraw
Not to do too much about it
– Dili sa pagbuhat sa daghan kaayo mahitungod niini
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year
– Tahun ni kangen jugak
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year
– Tahun ni kangen jugak
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year
– Tahun ni kangen jugak
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year
– Tahun ni kangen jugak
Hardly dashing through the snow
– Halos dili moagi sa niyebe
‘Cause I bundled up too tight
– Kay sobra ra kaayo ang akong
Last minute have-to-dos
– Last minute-to-dos
A few cards, a few calls because it’s
– Pipila ka mga kard, pipila ka mga tawag tungod kay kini
RSVP
– RSVP
No, thanks, no party lights
– Dili, salamat, wala ‘ y mga suga sa party
It’s Christmas Eve, gonna relax
– Pasko na, relax ka lang
Turned down all of my invites
– I-download ang tanan ko nga imbitasyon
Last Fall I had a night to myself
– Sa Miaging Gabii ako adunay usa ka gabii alang sa akong kaugalingon
Same guy called, Halloween party
– Ang sama nga tawo nga gitawag, halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
– Tibuok gabii siyang nagpaabot sa show
This time his car wouldn’t go
– Kali ni mobil ga ilang
Forget it, it’s cold, it’s getting late
– Ang lamig, ang lamig sayo
Trudge on home to celebrate
– Home tag sa pagsaulog
In a quiet way, unwind
– Way, way unwind
Doing Christmas right this time
– Kali Ni bulan Madu kan
A&P has provided me
– B&B gives me
With the world’s smallest turkey
– Ang labing gamay nga turkey sa kalibutan
Already in the oven, nice and hot
– Na sa hudno, nindot ug init
Oh damn!
– Ang damn!
Guess what I forgot
– Teka anong nalimutan ko
Back out in the snow
– Magbalik sa niyebe
To the only all night grocery
– All day grocery
Here on the line is that guy I’ve been chasing all year
– Sa sini nga tion ang tawo nga akon ginagukod sa bug os nga tuig
“Spendin’ this one alone” he said
– “Mag-isa ka lang” sambit niya
“Need a break, this year’s been crazy”
– “Tapi, bulan ni memang gila”
I said, “Me too, but why are you…?
– Miingon ko, ” ako usab, apan nganong ikaw?..?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?”
– Nakalimot ka ba sa mga cranberry?”
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
– Sa kalit lang kami mikatawa ug mikatawa
Caught on to what was happening
– Nadakpan sa nahitabo
That Christmas magic’s brought this tale
– Kini nga istorya sa pasko sa pagkabanhaw nagdala sa kini nga istorya
To a very happy ending
– Happy ending kaayo
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
– Tahun ni tak ilang lagi
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
– Tahun ni tak ilang lagi
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
– Tahun ni tak ilang lagi
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
– Tahun ni tak ilang lagi
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
– Tahun ni tak ilang lagi
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
– Tahun ni tak ilang lagi
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
– Maayong Pasko, merry Christmas
