Lyrics
Dashing through the snow
– Ukugijimela eqhweni
In a one-horse open sleigh
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa
O’er the fields we go
– O ‘ er amasimu siya
Laughing all the way
– Ukuhleka yonke indlela
Bells on bobtails ring
– Izinsimbi ezisemgqeni we-bobtails
Making spirits bright
– Ukwenza imimoya ikhanye
What fun it is to ride and sing
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela nokucula
A sleighing song tonight
– Ingoma yesileyi kulobubusuku
Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells
– O! Izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
– Izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa
A day or two ago
– Usuku noma ezimbili ezedlule
I thought I’d take a ride
– Ngangicabanga ukuthi ngizohamba
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
– Futhi ngokushesha, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
– Wayehlezi eceleni kwami
The horse was lean and lank
– Ihhashi lalingenawo amanzi futhi lingenawo amanzi
Misfortune seemed his lot
– Inhlekelele yayibonakala iyisici sakhe
He got into a drifted bank
– Wangena ebhange elintantayo
And then we got upsot
– Futhi-ke sathukuthela
Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells
– Sawubona, izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
– Izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa
A day or two ago
– Usuku noma ezimbili ezedlule
The story I must tell
– Indaba okumelwe ngiyitshele
I went out on the snow
– Ngiphume ngiqhwa
And on my back I fell
– Futhi emhlane wami ngawa
A gent was riding by
– Indoda ethile yayigibele
In a one-horse open sleigh
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa
He laughed as there I sprawling lie
– Wahleka lapho ngiqamba amanga
But quickly drove away
– Kodwa ngokushesha wahamba
Jingle bells, jingle bells
– Izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
– Izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa
Now the ground is white
– Manje umhlabathi umhlophe
Go it while you’re young
– Hamba lapho usemusha
Take the girls tonight
– Thatha amantombazane namuhla
And sing this sleighing song
– Futhi ucule le ngoma yokushushuluza
Just get a bobtailed bay
– Vele uthole i-bay ene-bobtailed
Two forty as his speed
– Amashumi amane amabili njengesivinini sakhe
Hitch him to an open sleigh
– Mshaye ngesileyi esivulekile
And crack, you’ll take the lead
– Futhi uqhekeze, uzohola
Jingle bells, jingle bells
– Izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells
– Izinsimbi zomculo, izinsimbi zomculo
Jingle all the way
– Ingoma yonke indlela
Oh, what fun it is to ride
– Yeka ukuthi kumnandi kanjani ukugibela
In a one-horse open sleigh
– Ngesileyi esivulekile sehhashi elilodwa
