Lyrics
Whenever I see girls and boys
– Noma nini lapho ngibona amantombazane nabafana
Selling lanterns on the streets
– Ukuthengisa izibani emigwaqweni
I remember the Child
– Ngikhumbula Ingane
In the manger, as he sleeps
– E-manger, njengoba elele
Wherever there are people
– Nomaphi lapho kukhona abantu
Giving gifts, exchanging cards
– Ukunikeza izipho, ukushintshanisa amakhadi
I believe that Christmas
– Ngikholelwa Ukuthi Ukhisimusi
Is truly in their hearts
– Ngempela ezinhliziyweni zabo
Let’s light our Christmas trees
– Ake sikhanyise izihlahla zethu Zikakhisimusi
For a bright tomorrow
– Ngekusasa eliqhakazile
Where nations are at peace
– Lapho izizwe zinokuthula khona
And all are one in God
– Futhi bonke bangabodwa Kunkulunkulu
Let’s sing Merry Christmas
– Ake sihlabelele Ukhisimusi Omuhle
And a happy holiday
– Futhi iholide elijabulisayo
This season may we never forget
– Lesi sikhathi sonyaka singase singalokothi sikhohlwe
The love we have for Jesus
– Uthando esinalo Ngojesu
Let Him be the one to guide us
– Makabe nguye ozosiqondisa
As another new year starts
– Njengoba kuqala omunye unyaka omusha
And may the spirit of Christmas
– Futhi kwangathi umoya Kakhisimusi
Be always in our hearts
– Yiba njalo ezinhliziyweni zethu
In every prayer and every song
– Emthandazweni ngamunye nasengomeni ngayinye
The community unites
– Umphakathi uyahlangana
Celebrating the birth
– Ukugubha ukuzalwa
Of our Savior, Jesus Christ
– Umsindisi Wethu, Ujesu Kristu
Let love, like that starlight
– Ake uthando, njengalolo ukukhanya kwezinkanyezi
On that first Christmas morn
– Ngalolo suku lokuqala lukakhisimusi
Lead us back to the manger
– Siholele emuva emkhombeni
Where Christ the Child was born
– Lapho Ukristu Umntwana azalelwa khona
So, come let us rejoice
– Ngakho, woza masijabule
Come and sing a Christmas carol
– Woza uzocula ingoma Kakhisimusi
With one big joyful voice
– Ngezwi elilodwa elikhulu elijabulisayo
Proclaim the name of the Lord
– Memezela igama Lenkosi
Let’s sing Merry Christmas
– Ake sihlabelele Ukhisimusi Omuhle
And a happy holiday
– Futhi iholide elijabulisayo
This season may we never forget
– Lesi sikhathi sonyaka singase singalokothi sikhohlwe
The love we have for Jesus
– Uthando esinalo Ngojesu
Let Him be the one to guide us
– Makabe nguye ozosiqondisa
As another new year starts
– Njengoba kuqala omunye unyaka omusha
And may the spirit of Christmas
– Futhi kwangathi umoya Kakhisimusi
Be always in our hearts
– Yiba njalo ezinhliziyweni zethu
Let’s sing Merry Christmas
– Ake sihlabelele Ukhisimusi Omuhle
And a happy holiday
– Futhi iholide elijabulisayo
This season may we never forget
– Lesi sikhathi sonyaka singase singalokothi sikhohlwe
The love we have for Jesus
– Uthando esinalo Ngojesu
Let Him be the one to guide us
– Makabe nguye ozosiqondisa
As another new year starts
– Njengoba kuqala omunye unyaka omusha
And may the spirit of Christmas
– Futhi kwangathi umoya Kakhisimusi
Be always in our hearts
