15 Promenade en traîneau

Au petit trot s'en va le cheval avec ses grelots 
et le traîneau joyeusement dévale à travers les coteaux. 
Dans le vallon s'accroche l'hiver mais le ciel est bleu. 
Ah! Qu'il fait bon faire un tour au grand air comme des amoureux. 

  Ho di up ho di up ohé, ohé du traîneau 
  Emmitouflez-vous bien dans vos manteaux 
  Ho di up ho di up ohé pour se tenir chaud 
  L'un contre l'autre on se blottit comme deux moineaux dans un nid. 

C'est merveilleux de voir défilant comme un décor peint, 
Devant nos yeux les villages tout blancs et les petits sapins. 
Parfois tu cries car ça penche un peu, c'est l'instant d'effroi, 
moi je souris, j'ai le cœur amoureux et le bout du nez froid. 

    L'attelage a déjà  pris le chemin du retour. 
    Nous allons être surpris par la tombée du jour, 
    car c'est l'heure où la nuit sans bruit s'épanouit comme une fleur 
    et s'allume le ciel qui change de couleurs. 

    Mais voici notre maison qui nous fait signe au loin, 
    sa lumière à  l'horizon scintille comme un point. 
    Je me vois déjà  près de toi le rire aux yeux, le cœur content, 
    près du grand feu de bois qui flambe et nous attend. 

Au petit trot s'en va le cheval avec ses grelots 
et le traîneau joyeusement dévale à  travers les coteaux...

15.1 Sleigh Ride

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling too
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you,
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo,"
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

  Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go, Let's look at the show,
  We're riding in a wonderland of snow.
  Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up,it's grand, Just holding your hand,
  We're gliding along with a song of a wintry fairy land.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy
and comfy cozy are we
We're snuggled up together
like two birds of a feather would be
Let's take that road before us
and sing a chorus or two
Come on, it's lovely weather
for a sleigh ride together with you.

    There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray
    It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day
    We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop,
    At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!
    
    There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy,
    When they pass around the chocolate and the pumpkin pie
    It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives
    These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!
