It was Christmas Eve babe
– Kien lejliet il Milied babe
In the drunk tank
– Fit-tank fis-sakra
An old man said to me: “Won’t see another one”
– Raġel xiħ qalli: “Mhux se jara ieħor”
And then he sang a song
– U mbagħad kanta kanzunetta
The Rare Old Mountain Dew
– In-Nida Antika Rari Tal – Muntanji
I turned my face away
– Dawwart wiċċi
And dreamed about you
– U ħolmu dwarek
Got on a lucky one
– Ltqajna fuq waħda xortik tajba
Came in eighteen to one
– Daħal fi tmintax għal wieħed
I’ve got a feeling
– Għandi sensazzjoni
This year’s for me and you
– Din is sena għalija u għalik
So happy Christmas
– Allura l-milied it-tajjeb
I love you baby
– Inħobbok tarbija
I can see a better time
– Nista’nara żmien aħjar
When all our dreams come true
– Meta l-ħolm kollu tagħna jseħħ
They’ve got cars big as bars, they’ve got rivers of gold
– Huma ħadthom ltqajna karozzi kbar bħala bars, ħadthom ltqajna xmajjar ta’deheb
But the wind goes right through you
– Imma r riħ jgħaddi minnek
It’s no place for the old
– Mhuwiex post għall-qadim
When you first took my hand on a cold Christmas Eve
– Meta ħadt idejja għall ewwel darba lejliet il Milied kiesaħ
You promised me Broadway was waiting for me
– Int wegħedtni Broadway kien qed jistennieni
You were handsome
– Int kont gustuż
You were pretty
– Int kont sabiħ
Queen of New York City
– Reġina Ta’new York City
When the band finished playing
– Meta l-banda spiċċat iddoqq
They howled out for more
– Huma għajtu għal aktar
Sinatra was swinging,
– Sinatra kienet qed titbandal,
All the drunks they were singing
– Is-sakra kollha li kienu qed ikantaw
We kissed on a corner
– Aħna kissed fuq kantuniera
Then danced through the night
– Imbagħad żfin matul il-lejl
The boys of the NYPD choir
– Is-subien tal-kor NYPD
Were singing “Galway Bay”
– Kienu kant “Galway Bay”
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas day
– U l qniepen kienu jdoqqu għal jum il Milied
You’re a bum, you’re a punk
– Int bum, int punk
You’re an old slut on junk
– Int slut qadim fuq junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
– Mimdud hemm kważi mejjet fuq dripp f’dik is sodda
You scumbag, you maggot
– Inti scumbag, inti maggot
You’re cheap and you’re haggard
– Int irħis u int imdejjaq
Happy Christmas your arse
– Il Milied it tajjeb il ħmar tiegħek
I pray God it’s our last
– Nitlob Lil Alla huwa l aħħar tagħna
The boys of the NYPD choir
– Is-subien tal-kor NYPD
Still singing “Galway Bay”
– Għadu kant “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out
– U l qniepen qed idoqqu
For Christmas Day
– Għal Jum Il-Milied
I could have been someone
– Stajt kont xi ħadd
Well so could anyone
– Ukoll hekk jistaxi ħadd
You took my dreams from me
– Ħadt il ħolm tiegħi mingħandi
When I first found you
– Meta sibtek l-ewwel darba
I kept them with me babe
– Żammejthom miegħi babe
I put them with my own
– Qiegħedhom ma’tiegħi
Can’t make it alone
– Ma tistax tagħmilha waħedha
I’ve built my dreams around you
– Bnejt il ħolm tiegħi madwarek
The boys of the NYPD choir
– Is-subien tal-kor NYPD
Still singing “Galway Bay”
– Għadu kant “Galway Bay”
And the bells are ringing out
– U l qniepen qed idoqqu
For Christmas Day
– Għal Jum Il-Milied
