Rockin’ around the Christmas tree at the Christmas party hop
– Ka huri ki te rākau Kirihimete i te rōpū kirihimete hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see, every couple tries to stop
– Ka whakairihia te rākau ki te wāhi e kite ai koe, ka whakamātau ia tokorua ki te whakamutu
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, let the Christmas spirit ring
– Ka huri ki te rakau Kirihimete, kia tangi te wairua Kirihimete
Later, we’ll have some pumpkin pie, and we’ll do some caroling
– I muri mai, ka whai mātou i tētahi keke kākano, ā, ka mahi mātou i ētahi waiata
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
– Ka whiwhi koe i te mana’o mana’o ina rongo koe
Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly”
– Ka waiata ngā reo, “Let’s be jolly”
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
– Whakakikoruatia nga whare ki nga manga o holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday
– Ka huri ki te rakau Kirihimete, he hararei harikoa
Everyone’s dancin’ merrily in the new old-fashioned way
– E kanikani ana te katoa i runga i te ahuareka i runga i te huarahi tawhito hou
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
– Ka whiwhi koe i te mana’o mana’o ina rongo koe
Voices singing, “Let’s be jolly”
– Ka waiata ngā reo, “Let’s be jolly”
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
– Whakakikoruatia nga whare ki nga manga o holly
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree, have a happy holiday
– Ka huri ki te rakau Kirihimete, he hararei harikoa
Everyone’s dancin’ merrily in the new old-fashioned way
– E kanikani ana te katoa i runga i te ahuareka i runga i te huarahi tawhito hou
