Remember last Christmas Eve 还记得去年圣诞节前夕

When we sat next to our first tree 当我们坐在旁边给我们的第一棵树

Ornaments reflected light 饰品反射光

Of a candle in the night 在黑夜的蜡烛

   

And I gave you a music box 我给你一个音乐盒

Back then that seemed like so much 当时不知道是不是这么多

We watched it go round and round 我们看着它走了一圈又一圈

As the melodies unwound 随着旋律展开

   

But all these things are now long gone 但是，所有这些东西现在早就没了

And not to be wished upon again 并且不被再次希望时

   

But the musical box continues to turn 但音乐盒继续转

The candle in the window continues to burn 在该窗口中的蜡烛继续燃烧

But I know they're just memories 但我知道，他们只是回忆

Like Christmas past and you and me 像过去的圣诞节，你和我

   

Remember that old fireplace 请记住，老壁炉

That held the room in warm embrace 那举行了房间温暖的怀抱

And as we watched for Christmas ghosts 正如我们看到的圣诞鬼

The fire held the shadows close 消防举行的阴影接近

   

But now upon that Christmas scene 但是现在在这圣诞场景

The candle wax of melted dreams 熔化的梦想的蜡烛

And ornaments of shattered glass 破碎的玻璃和饰物

Now belonging to the past 现在属于过去

   

But all these things are now long gone 但是，所有这些东西现在早就没了

And not to be wished upon again 并且不被再次希望时

   

But the musical box continues to turn 但音乐盒继续转

The candle in the window continues to burn 在该窗口中的蜡烛继续燃烧

But I know they're just memories 但我知道，他们只是回忆

Like Christmas past and you and me 像过去的圣诞节，你和我
