It's Christmastime, the news reminds me On the radio
But to look outside at passersby You really wouldn't know
In some distant sky,
Rudolph's flyingBravely through the snow
But the skies right here are crystal clear No sign of Rudolph's nose
It's Christmas time in Taipei
But this town is looking pretty muchLike any other day
It's Christmastime in Taipei
But it seems I'm just a little too far Out of Santa's wayThroughout the day the stores all play Familiar Christmas songs
And I close my eyes and try to find The heart to sing along
But those Christmas carols of Jingle Bells and dashing through the snow
They bring memory of family And friends I used to know
It's Christmastime in Taipei
And I guess I won't be making any angels in the snowIn a waking dream,
I think I see youLooking back at me As you stand below the mistletoe
And you smile tenderly As the vision fades my smile remainsAnd none could ever know
That behind this smile a wayward child
Is much too far from home
It's Christmas time in Taipei
But this town is looking pretty muchLike any other day
It's Christmastime in Taipei
But it seems I'm just a little too far Out of Santa's way

這是耶誕節的時候,這個消息讓我想起了我的收音機
但看看外面的路人你真的不知道
在遙遠的天空中,
魯道夫的飛翔勇敢地穿過雪地
但是這裡的天空是清澈的,沒有魯道夫鼻子的跡象
這是臺北的耶誕節
但這座城市看起來很像其他任何一天
這是臺北的耶誕節
但似乎有點遠離聖誕老人的方式,在一天裡商店都播放熟悉的聖誕歌曲
我閉上眼睛,試著用心來唱歌
但那些聖誕頌歌的鈴兒響叮噹和瀟灑的雪
他們帶來的家人和朋友,我曾經的記憶
這是臺北的耶誕節
我想我不會在白雪中做任何的天使,
我想我看到你回頭看我,像站在槲寄生
和你的微笑一樣溫柔的視野逐漸消失,我的微笑仍然存在,沒有人能知道
在這微笑的背後,是一個任性的孩子
離家太遠
這是臺北的耶誕節
但這座城市看起來很像其他任何一天
這是臺北的耶誕節
但似乎有點遠離聖誕老人的方式
