Canciones de Navidad: Santa, tell me (Ariana Grande)
Empezamos por una canción de Ariana Grande en la que puedes ver que todo está basado en la Navidad, tanto el videoclip como la propia letra.
Santa, tell me if you’re really there
Don’t make me fall in love again
If he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
‘Cause I can’t give it all away
If he won’t be here next year
Feeling Christmas all around
And I’m trying to play it cool
But it’s hard to focus when I see him walkin’ ‘cross the room
«Let it Snow» is blasting out
But I won’t get in the mood
I’m avoiding every mistletoe until I know
It’s true love that he thinks of
So next Christmas
I’m not all alone, boy
Santa, tell me if you’re really there
Don’t make me fall in love again
If he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
‘Cause I can’t give it all away
If he won’t be here next year
I’ve been down this road before
Fell in love on Christmas night (ooh, babe)
But on New Year’s Day, I woke up and he wasn’t by my side
Now I need someone to hold
Be my fire in the cold (yeah, yeah)
But it’s hard to tell if this is just a fling
Or if it’s true love that he thinks of (of)
So next Christmas
I’m not all alone, babe
Santa, tell me if you’re really there
Don’t make me fall in love again
If he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares
‘Cause I can’t give it all away
If he won’t be here next year
Oh, I wanna have him beside me like oh-oh-oh
On the 25th by the fire place, oh-oh-oh
But I don’t want a new broken heart
This year I’ve got to be smart
Ooh, baby
(Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
If he will be, if he will be
(Santa, tell me, Santa, tell me)
Oh-oh-oh
Santa, tell me if you’re really there (Santa, tell me, ‘cause I really care)
Don’t make me fall in love again
If he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if he really cares (tell me, tell me, boy)
‘Cause I can’t give it all away
If he won’t be here next year
Santa, tell me if you’re really there (tell me, tell me, baby)
Don’t make me fall in love again
If he won’t be here next year (if he won’t be, if he won’t be here)
Santa, tell me if he really cares (tell me, do you care?)
‘Cause I can’t give it all away
If he won’t be here next year
Canciones de Navidad: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas, Michael Bublé
Otro de los cantantes que ha dedicado un álbum y muchas canciones a la Navidad es Michael Bublé. En este caso te rescatamos una que no es tan conocida.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it’s glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that’ll talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There’s a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well
It’s the sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start
And the thing that’ll make ‘em ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door
Sure, it’s Christmas once more
Canciones de Navidad: Last Christmas, Wham!
En este caso nos vamos a un grupo, Wham!, que también quis cantarle a la Navidad. Tienes una canción bastante conocido, de hecho cuando las escuchas te va a sonar como una de las que escuchabas de niño. Te dejamos a continuación la letra.
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
Happy 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
Ooh
Oh, oh, baby
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
Oh, oh 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, 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
Special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you mine)
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
Special
So long
Canciones de Navidad: Oh, Santa, Mariah Carey
Esta es una de las canciones que más ritmo vas a encontrar, pero es muy pegadiza, desde ya te lo decimos. En este caso tenemos a Mariah Carey cantando y la verdad es que te va a gustar mucho.
Oh, Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, mine (oh, Santa)
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas (oh, Santa)
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, mine
Santa
If you get this letter
Won’t you help me out?
I know you’re kinda busy with your elves right now
And I don’t know how
You do the things you do while I sleep on Christmas Eve
But it’s amazing
And I bet that you could bring me back my baby
Because every time I see Christmas lights
I feel this burn inside
And I just can’t take it
I saw them shopping last week
And his new girl was so bleak
And then I swore to myself
Santa’s gonna come and make you mine this Christmas night
Ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas night
Oh, Santa
I heard that it’s really gonna snow this year
So I hope Rudolph and them other eight reindeer
Get you safely here
So you can scoop him up
And scoop him right down my chimney
I’ve been really, really, really good this year
So put on that red suit and make him appear
Make this Christmas cheer
Just ain’t the same without my baby
Come on, oh, Kris Kringle send me-
They say it’s unrealistic
But I believe in you, Saint Nick
So grant this wish for me right quick
Santa won’t you come and make him mine this Christmas night?
Ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas night
Oh Santa, oh Santa, oh Santa (come on, Santa)
Santa gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa gon’ come and make you mine, mine
Santa gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa gon’ come and make you mine, mine
Oh, Santa Claus
If you get this letter
Please don’t make me wait
‘Cause all December I’ll be counting down the days
So hop on your sleigh
I promise that I won’t forget the milk and cookies
The trees all sparkly and gold
But inside I feel so cold
So soon as you leave the North Pole
Santa won’t you come and make him mine this Christmas?
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, mine
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, mine
(Santa’s gonna come and make you mine this Christmas)
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, ho-ho-ho
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine, mine
Santa’s gon’ come and make you mine this Christmas
Canciones de Navidad: Santa baby, Madonna
Una canción diferente es esta de Madonna, en la que tiene relación con la Navidad pero con un ritmo completamente diferente (incluso podríamos decir un poco picante). Eso sí, la letra no lo es.
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
Been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, an out-of-space convertible, too, light blue
I’ll wait up for you, dear
Santa baby, and 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 oh so good
If you’d check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo
Santa honey, I want a yacht and really that’s
Not a lot
I’ve been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa cutie, there’s one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Santa baby, I’m filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your ‘X’ on the line
Santa baby, 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
Boo doo bee doo
Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don’t mean on a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
Canciones de Navidad: Rockin around the Christmas tree, Brenda Lee
Esta canción es bastante más antigua, aunque otros cantantes la han rescatado. Nosotros hemos escogido la de Brenda Lee ya que es la más original. Échale un vistazo porque a lo mejor y te suena de haberla escuchado en algún momento.
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
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
Canciones de Navidad: Run Rudolph run, Chuck Berry
Con un estilo de manga tienes un vídeo en el que, cuando escuches lo primero, te va a encandilar. Es una canción muy rápida y con un ritmo que se pega mucho (digamos que vas a tener el estribillo en tu cabeza). Te dejamos la letra.
Out of all the reindeers you know you are the mastermind
Run, run Rudolph, Randolph ain’t too far behind
Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s gotta make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph ‘cause I’m reelin’ like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a boy child, «What have you been longin’ for?»
«All I want for Christmas is a rock ‘n’ roll ‘lectric guitar»
And then away went Rudolph whizzin’ like a shootin’ star
Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s has to make it in town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, reelin’ like a merry-go-round
Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s gotta make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, I’m reelin’ like a merry-go-round
Said Santa to a girl child, «What would please you most to get?»
«A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, drink and wet»
And then away went Rudolph, whizzin’ like a Saber jet
Run, run Rudolph, Santa’s gotta make it to town
Santa, make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph I’m reelin’ like a merry-go-round
Canciones de Navidad: What Christmas means to me, Stevie Wonder
¿La habías escuchado alguna vez? Es una de las canciones de Navidad que muchos fans de Steve Wonder conocen, pero al ser tan antigua ha ido olvidándose. Por eso te la recordamos aquí.
Oh, yeah
Candles burnin’ low
Lots of mistletoe
Lots of snow and ice
Everywhere we go
Choirs singin’ carols
Right outside my door
All these things and more (all these things and more)
Whoa, that’s what Christmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me, my love) whoa, yeah
Yeah
And ya know what I mean
I see your smilin’ face
Like I never seen before
Even though I love ya madly
It seems I love you more
The little cards you’ll give me
Will touch my heart for sure
All these things and more, darling (all these things and more)
Whoa, that’s what Christmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me my love) oh, yeah, I
I feel like runnin’ wild (runnin’ wild)
As anxious as a little child
Greet you ‘neath the mistletoe
Kiss you once and then some more
And wish you a Merry Christmas baby (wish you a Merry Christmas baby)
Whoa, and such happiness in the comin’ year
Oh, baby (happiness in the comin’ year)
Let’s deck the halls with holly
Sing sweet silent night
Fill the tree with angel hair
And pretty, pretty lights
Go to sleep and wake up
Just before daylight
And all these things and more, baby (all these things and more)
Whoa, that’s what Christmas means to me my love
(That’s what Christmas means to me my love) oh, baby, baby
Candles burnin’ low
Lots and lots of snow (alright)
Christmas bells are ringin’
Christmas choirs singin’
Christmas mistletoe
Canciones de Navidad: Cozy Little Christmas, Katy Perry
Katy Perry tiene también una canción sobre la Navidad que, si bien no es tan conocida como otros éxitos de la cantante, no está mal para unirla a tu selección.
Everybody’s in a hurry, in a flurry
Shopping ‘til they’re droppin’ in the snow
Kids are cryin’, dogs are barkin’
Catching up with folks we barely know
Sure it’s madness, but it’s magic
As soon as you hang up the mistletoe
‘Cause you’re the reason for the season
No, we don’t need to keep up with the Jones
Our love is something priceless
I don’t need diamonds, no sparkly things (no, oh, oh, oh, oh)
‘Cause you can’t buy this a-feeling (no, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Nothing lights my fire or wraps me up, baby, like you do
Just want a cozy, a cozy little Christmas here with you
So, Mr. Santa (Mr. Santa)
Take the day off (take the day off)
Get a massage (get a massage)
‘Cause we’ve got this one all under control
A little whiskey (a little whiskey)
We’re getting frisky (ooh!)
And slow dancing to Nat King Cole
No, we ain’t stressin’ (we ain’t stressin’)
Just caressin’ (mm-hmm)
Warming up our popsicle toes
Nothing’s missin’ (nothing’s missin’)
‘Cause you’re a blessin’ (‘cause you’re the blessin’)
Yet, you’re the only one I’m wishing for
Our love is something priceless
I don’t need diamonds, no sparkly things (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
‘Cause you can’t buy this a-feeling (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Nothing lights my fire or wraps me up, baby, like you do
Just want a cozy, a cozy little Christmas here with you
I don’t need anything
Take back all the Cartier, and the Tiffany’s and the Chanel
Well, can I keep that Chanel? Please?
No, no, no, no
I don’t need diamonds, no sparkly things (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
‘Cause you can’t buy this a-feeling (No, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Nothing lights my fire or wraps me up, baby, like you do
Just want a cozy, a cozy little Christmas here with you
Just you and me, under a tree
(Fa la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la la la)
A cozy little Christmas here with you
Christmas Isn’t Canceled (Just You), Kelly Clarkson
Una canción movidita, en la que no solo escucharás sino que al final acabarás por bailar e incluso por cantar a la vez.
Out in the cold
Standing where the trees meet the road
This used to be our favorite spot in this town
Memories with you and me ruin it now (woah-woah-woah)
That’s where we met
Like a winter dream and I bet
I wasn’t the first, and I won’t be the last
Underneath that mistletoe, you’ve been so bad (woah-woah-woah)
You ruined all my favorite things (all my favorite things)
But you won’t take Christmas from me
I’ll be hanging every light I find in this house
Playing Christmas music so loud
This year Christmas won’t be quite so blue
And I’m gonna shout too much and dance in the snow
Drink just enough to let us go
Christmas isn’t canceled, just you
Lost at first
Thinking that I might (I might) be cursed
Winter Wonderlands weren’t made for one
So we’ve all been told since we were young (woah-woah-woah)
But I’m not feeling incomplete (feeling incomplete)
Turns out I don’t need a thing underneath my tree
I’ll be hanging every light I find in this house
Playing Christmas music so loud
This year Christmas won’t be quite so blue
And I’m gonna shout too much and dance in the snow
Drink just enough to let us go
Christmas isn’t canceled, just you
without you is still fun
(Christmas) and when the New Year comes
Don’t you worry ‘bout me, I’ll be alright
Baby, by New Year’s night, ooh
I’ll be ringing in the New Year with all my friends
Kissing goodbye to what might’ve been
This year New Year’s, I won’t be your fool
And I bet you see me out wondering what’s wrong
Watching me have fun with you gone
But New Year’s isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled
Just you
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled, just you
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled, just you
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled, just you
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled, just you
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled
Christmas isn’t canceled, just you
Christmas isn’t canceled
Canciones de Navidad: Snowman, Sia
Si bien no está relacionada con la Navidad, sí con algo típico de esta época como son los muñecos de nieve y lo poquito que duran.
Don’t cry, snowman, not in front of me
Who’ll catch your tears if you can’t catch me, darling
If you can’t catch me, darling
Don’t cry, snowman, don’t leave me this way
A puddle of water can’t hold me close, baby
Can’t hold me close, baby
I want you to know that I’m never leaving
‘Cause I’m Mrs. Snow, ‘til death we’ll be freezing
Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons
So come on, let’s go
Let’s go below zero and hide from the sun
I love you forever where we’ll have some fun
Yes, let’s hit the North Pole and live happily
Please don’t cry no tears now, it’s Christmas, baby
My snowman and me
My snowman and me
Baby
Don’t cry, snowman, don’t you fear the sun
Who’ll carry me without legs to run, honey
Without legs to run, honey
Don’t cry, snowman, don’t you shed a tear
Who’ll hear my secrets if you don’t have ears, baby
If you don’t have ears, baby
I want you to know that I’m never leaving
‘Cause I’m Mrs. Snow, ‘til death we’ll be freezing
Yeah, you are my home, my home for all seasons
So come on, let’s go
Let’s go below zero and hide from the sun
I love you forever where we’ll have some fun
Yes, let’s hit the North Pole and live happily
Please don’t cry no tears now, it’s Christmas, baby
My snowman and me
My snowman and me
Baby
Canciones de Navidad: Winter Wonderland, Pentatonix
El ritmo te va a sonar bastante, y sobre todo con una canción más veraniega y no invernal. Pero lo cierto es que no es así. Y es que cuando empiecen a cantar cambiará por completo.
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
The beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman (we can build a snowman)
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say, «Are you married?» We’ll say, «No man»
But you can do the job when you’re in town
Later on, we’ll conspire (Later on)
As we dream by the fire (As we dream)
To face unafraid, the plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Oh, walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman (We can build a snowman)
And pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
When it snows, ain’t it thrilling (When it snows)
Though your nose gets a chilling (Though your nose)
We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Here’s a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy
Don’t worry be happy now
Don’t worry, oh no
Don’t worry (don’t worry), be happy
Don’t worry, be happy now
Oh, don’t worry,
‘Cause we’re walking in a winter wonderland
