Vánoční koledy jsou u nás v Česku klasikou a můžeme je ve vánočním období slyšet všude. Na trzích, v restauracích, obchodních centrech, ve školách, v práci, ale můžete si je pustit i doma. Ale nejsou to jen ty v češtině, ale i v jazyce anglickém. Jaké by to pak byly Vánoce bez zpívání vánočních koled? Pokud třeba žádné neznáte, i když věříme, že ano, ukážeme vám 7 nejznámějších v angličtině. Přidáme i text a video, které si můžete pustit a zpívat společně. Schválně, kolik koled budete znát a jestli pro vás budou nějaké novinkou.

1. Silent night (Tichá noc)
Silent night, holy night!
All is calm, all is bright.
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born
Silent night, holy night!
Son of God love’s pure light.
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
2. Rockin‘ Around The Christmas Tree
Rockin‘ around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop,
Mistletoe hung where you can see,
Every couple tries to stop,
Rockin‘ around the Christmas tree,
Let the Christmas spirit ring,
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie,
And we’ll do some caroling.
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear,
Voices singing, „Let’s be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly“,
Rockin‘ around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday,
Everyone dancin‘ merrily,
In the new old-fashioned way.

3. Santa Baby
Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For me.
been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
Light blue.
I’ll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Think of all the fun I’ve missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you’ll check off my Christmas list,
Santa baby, I wanna yacht,
And really that’s not a lot,
Been an angel all year,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa honey, there’s one thing I really do need,
The deed
To a platinum mine,
Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight.
Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex,
And checks.
Sign your ‚X‘ on the line,
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.
Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany’s,
I really do believe in you,
Let’s see if you believe in me,
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring.
I don’t mean on the phone,
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry down the chimney tonight,
Hurry, tonight.
4. Down in the Salley Gardens
Down by the Salley Gardens
My love and I did meet
She passed the Salley Gardens
With little snow-white feet.
She bid me take love easy
As the leaves grow on the tree
But I, being young and foolish
With her did not agree.
In a field by the river
My love and I did stand
And on my leaning shoulder
She laid her snow-white hand.
She bid me take life easy
As the grass grows on the weirs
But I was young and foolish
And now am full of tears
Vánoční koledy v angličtině
5. I believe
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above a storm the smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone in the great somewhere
Hears every word
[Chorus]
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why
I believe (believe, I believe)
Every time I hear a new born baby cry
Or touch a leaf or see the sky
Then I know why
I believe (I believe)
6. Jingle Bell Rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin‘ and blowin‘ up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin‘ and prancin‘ in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin‘ in a one-horse sleigh
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin‘ feet
That’s the jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin‘ and prancin‘ in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin‘ in a one-horse sleigh
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
7. Santa brings my baby back to me
I don’t need a lot of presents
To make my Christmas bright
I just need my baby’s arms
Wound around me tight
Oh oh santa hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
The Christmas tree is ready
The candles all aglow
But with my baby far away
What good is mistletoe
Oh oh Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
Please make these reindeer hurry
Well their time is drawing near
It sure won’t seem like Christmas
Until my baby’s here
Fill my sock with candy
And a bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
Please make these reindeer hurry
Well their time is drawing near
It sure won’t seem like Christmas
Until my baby’s here
Fill my sock with candy
And a bright and shiny toy
You wanna make me happy and fill my heart with joy
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
Then Santa, hear my plea
Santa bring my baby back to me
