Текст песни: The Holly & The Ivy + перевод

The holly and the ivy

When both are full grown

Of all the trees in the wood

The holly bears the crown

Oh, the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

And the playing of the merry organ

Sweet singing of the choir

The holly bears a blossom

As white as lily flower

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To be our sweet Saviour

Oh, the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

And the playing of the merry organ

Sweet singing of the choir

The holly bears a berry

As red as any blood

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To do poor sinners good

Oh, the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

And the playing of the merry organ

Sweet singing in the choir

The holly bears a prickle

As sharp as any thorn

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

On Christmas Day this morn

Oh, the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

And the playing of the merry organ

Sweet singing in the choir

Last Christmas I drove home

Just my sister and me

Two-hundred miles from London

To a small town by the sea

The subtle trails of snowfall

Swept round our rental van

And we drifted into morning

As Christmas day began

And the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

And the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)

And the rising of the sun (The sun)

And the running of the deer (The deer)
