In Praise Of Christmas - Loreena McKennitt (罗琳娜·麦肯尼特)[00:00:00]

Traditional English, arranged by Loreena McKennitt[00:00:50]

All hail to the days that merit more praise[00:01:00]

Than all of the rest of the year,[00:01:07]

And welcome the nights that double delights[00:01:14]

As well for the poor as the peer![00:01:21]

Good fortune attend each merry man's friend[00:01:27]

That doth but the best that he may,[00:01:34]

Forgetting old wrongs with carols and songs[00:01:40]

To drive the cold winter away.[00:01:47]

'Tis ill for a mind to anger inclined[00:02:01]

To think of small injuries now,[00:02:07]

If wrath be to seek, do not lend her thy cheek,[00:02:13]

Nor let her inhabit thy brow.[00:02:19]

Cross out thy books malevolent looks,[00:02:25]

Both beauty and youth's decay,[00:02:32]

And wholly consort with mirth and with sport[00:02:38]

To drive the cold winter away.[00:02:44]

This time of the year is spent in good cheer,[00:03:03]

And neighbours together do meet,[00:03:09]

To sit by the fire, with friendly desire,[00:03:15]

Each other in love to greet.[00:03:21]

Old grudges forgot are put in the pot,[00:03:27]

All sorrows aside they lay;[00:03:33]

The old and the young doth carol this song,[00:03:39]

To drive the cold winter away.[00:03:46]

When Christmas's tide comes in like a bride,[00:04:45]

With holly and ivy clad,[00:04:52]

Twelve days in the year much mirth and good cheer[00:04:58]

In every household is had.[00:05:05]

The country guise is then to devise[00:05:11]

Some gambols of Christmas play,[00:05:17]

Whereat the young men do best that they can[00:05:23]

To drive the cold winter away.[00:05:30]

END[00:05:58]
