Le canzoni di Natale cantate dalle dive, i testi: prima parte

Le canzoni di Natale intramontabili hanno anche bisogno di una sublime interpretazione. Moltiossime dive hanno provato a rendere unici pezzi storici o scritti da loro. Noi vi riportiamo i testi dei singoli più famosi:

Alicia Keys – “The Christmas Song”

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is going to be spy
To see reindeer really know how to fly

And so, I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so, I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said, many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you!

Ashanti – “Christmas Melody”

t’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’
It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’

Its kinda cold outside but its alright
‘Cause its Christmas time
So let the snow begin to decorate the city
Christmas time is oh so pretty, I love

It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’
It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’

The house is filled with cheer ‘cause we’re all here
Tryna guess what gifts we got this year
The kids can’t wait to see
If Santa left a shiny box underneath the Christmas tree

It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’
It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’

It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’
It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’

I remember the first time I made Christmas cookies at Aunt MeMe’s
Me and my cousin Sha stayed up all night to put the icin’ on
And then everybody came over ‘cause MeMe cooked and baked pies
And all my Mom and Dad brought was two gallons of ice-cream
That is what I remember about Christmas

It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’
It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’

It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’
It’s Christmas time again
Can’t wait to hear those sleigh bells ringin’
