[歌詞]
Bells will be ringing this sad sad news
(鐘聲將響著這個傷心的傷心的消息)
Oh what a Christmas to have the blues
(喔這樣一個聖誕節卻有著這樣的憂愁)
My baby's gone I have no friends
(我的寶貝走了)
To wish me greetings once again
(也沒有朋友會再祝福我問候我)
Choirs will be singing Silent Night
(唱詩班正唱著"聖善夜")
Christmas carols by candle light
(秉著燭光唱著聖誕頌歌)
Please come home for Christmas
(請為聖誕回家來吧)
Please come home for Christmas
(拜托看在聖誕節的份上回家來吧)
If not for Christmas by New Years night
(就算不為聖誕也為了除夕夜吧)

Friends and relations
(親朋和好友)
Send salutations
(捎來問候)
Sure as the stars shine above
(真如天上閃耀的星星)
But this is Christmas
(但這是聖誕啊)
Yeah, it's Christmas my dear
(是的，是聖誕節啊我心愛的)
It's the time of year to be with the one you love
(是一年一度，和你所愛的人共度的時刻啊)
So won't you tell me
(所以你不告訴我)
You'll never more roam
(你將不再遲疑)
Christmas and New Year
(聖誕和新年)
Will find you home
(將指引你回家)
There be no more sorrow
(再沒有哀愁)
No grief and pain
(再沒有苦惱和痛楚)
And I'll be happy, happy, once again
(而我又將再度，開心起來，開心起來)
Ooo, there be no more sorrow
No grief and pain
And I'll be happy, Christmas, once again

[小感]
原曲早在1960年發布，原唱者是美國藍調樂手兼鋼琴家Charles Brown，
陸續由EAGLES老鷹合唱團、Bon Jovi邦喬飛等樂手翻唱，
銷售成績都相當亮眼。
由於曾被用在電影"Home Alone"(中譯：小鬼當家)為電影主題曲，
所以更加家喻戶曉。

整首歌洋溢著濃厚的經典的blues風格，
節奏鮮明卻很慢拍，
製造出深情氛圍，
傳達央求情人回來共度佳節的心聲。
