1. The First Noel

Merupakan salah satu lagu Natal klasik asal Inggris yang ditulis pada abad ke-18.

Lagu “The First Noel” merupakan salah satu lagu Natal yang banyak digemari.

Noel sendiri merupakan Bahasa Perancis yang memiliki makna “Natal” atau “Ulang Tahun”. 

Adapun lirik lagunya sebagai berikut :

The first Noel the angel did say

was to certain poor shepards in fields as they lay

in fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep

on a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star,

shining in the east, beyond them far:

and to the earth it gave great light,

and so it continued both day and night.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star

three wise men came from the country far;

to seek for a King was their intent,

and to follow the star wherever it went.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

born is the King of Israel.

This star drew nigh to the north-west;

o'er Bethlehem it took its rest,

and there it did both stop and stay,

right over the place where Jesus lay.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

born is the King of Israel.

Then entered in those wise men three,

fell reverently upon their knee,

and offered there in his presence

their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

born is the kind of Israel.

Then let us all with one accord

sing praises to our heavenly Lord,

that hath made heaven and earth of nought,

and with his blood mankind has bought.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

born is the King of Israel.

2. The Christmas Song – Nat King Cole

Berbicara mengenai lagu Natal klasik, tentu takkan lengkap tanpa memasukkan lagu Natal “The Christmas Song” dalam daftar.

Ditulis pada 1945 oleh Robert Wells dan Mel Tormé, lagu Natal terbaik ini kemudian menjadi populer setelah dinyanyikan oleh Nat King Cole pada 1953.

Adapun liriknya adalah sebagai berikut :

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 ev'rymother's child is gonna spy

To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

and so I'm offering this simple phrase

To kids from one to ninety-two

Although its been said many times,

Many ways: "Merry Christmas to you".

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance

But you still catch my eye

Tell me, baby

Do you recognize me?

Well, it's been a year

It doesn't surprise me

(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying, "I love you, " I meant it

Now, I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now

I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice

My god, I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Now, I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man under cover but you tore him apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it to someone special

I don't want a lot for Christmas

Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true oh

All I want for Christmas is you

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need, and I

Don't care about the presents

Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking

There upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won't make me happy

With a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you

I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow, and I

I just wanna keep on waiting

Underneath the mistletoe

I won't make a list and send it

To the North Pole for Saint Nick

I won't even stay awake

To hear those magic reindeer click

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What more can I do

Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you

All the lights are shining

So brightly everywhere

And the sound of children's

Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa won't you bring me

The one I really need

Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly

I don't want a lot for Christmas

This is all I'm asking for

I just wanna see my baby

Standing right outside my door

I just want you for my own

More than you could ever know

Make my wish come true

Baby all I want for Christmas is you

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square

In the frosty air

What a bright time, it's the right time

To rock the night away

Jingle bell time is a swell time

To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet

That's the jingle bell rock

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock

Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time

Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square

To rock the night away

To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh

Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet

Jingle around the clock

Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet

That's the jingle bell

That's the jingle bell

That's the jingle bell rock
