  1. It's coming on Christmas

    Ça arrive, Noël approche

  2. They're cutting down trees

    Ils abattent les arbres

  3. They're putting up reindeer

    Ils installent des rennes

  4. And singing songs of joy and peace

    Et chantent des chansons de joie et de paix

  5. Oh, I wish I had a river

    Oh, je voudrais avoir une rivière

  6. I could skate away on

    Sur laquelle je pourrais glisser

  7. But it don't snow here

    Mais ici, il ne neige pas

  8. It stays pretty green

    Ça reste plutôt vert

  9. I'm going to make a lot of money

    Je vais gagner beaucoup d'argent

  10. Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

    Puis je vais quitter cette folie

  11. Oh, I wish I had a river

    Oh, I wish I had a river

  12. I could skate away on

    I could skate away on

  13. I wish I had a river so long

    I wish I had a river so long

  14. I would teach my feet to fly

    I would teach my feet to fly

  15. I wish I had a river

    I wish I had a river

  16. I could skate away on

    I could skate away on

  17. I made my baby cry

    I made my baby cry

  18. I made my baby cry

    I made my baby cry

  19. He tried hard to help me

    He tried hard to help me

  20. You know, he put me at ease

    You know, he put me at ease

  21. And he loved me so naughty

    Et il m'aimait si maladroitement

  22. Made me weak in the knees

    Me rendait faible aux genoux

  23. Oh, I wish I had a river

    Oh, je souhaiterais avoir une rivière

  24. I could skate away on

    Sur laquelle je pourrais glisser

  25. I'm so hard to handle

    Je suis si difficile à gérer

  26. I'm selfish and I'm sad

    Je suis égoïste et je suis triste

  27. Now I've gone and lost the best baby

    Maintenant, je suis allée et j'ai perdu le meilleur bébé

  28. That I ever had

    Que j'aie jamais eu

  29. I wish I had a river

    Je souhaiterais avoir une rivière

  30. I could skate away on

    Sur laquelle je pourrais glisser

  31. Oh, I wish I had a river so long

    Oh, I wish I had a river so long

  32. I would teach my feet to fly

    I would teach my feet to fly

  33. I wish I had a river

    I wish I had a river

  34. I could skate away on

    I could skate away on

  35. I made my baby say goodbye

    I made my baby say goodbye

  36. I made my baby say goodbye

    I made my baby say goodbye

  37. It's coming on Christmas

    It's coming on Christmas

  38. They're cutting down trees

    They're cutting down trees

  39. They're putting up reindeer

    They're putting up reindeer

  40. And singing songs of joy and peace

    And singing songs of joy and peace

River

It's coming on Christmas

Ça arrive, Noël approche

They're cutting down trees

Ils abattent les arbres

They're putting up reindeer

Ils installent des rennes

And singing songs of joy and peace

Et chantent des chansons de joie et de paix

Oh, I wish I had a river

Oh, je voudrais avoir une rivière

I could skate away on

Sur laquelle je pourrais glisser

But it don't snow here

Mais ici, il ne neige pas

It stays pretty green

Ça reste plutôt vert

I'm going to make a lot of money

Je vais gagner beaucoup d'argent

Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene

Puis je vais quitter cette folie

Oh, I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long

I wish I had a river so long

I would teach my feet to fly

I would teach my feet to fly

I wish I had a river

I wish I had a river

I could skate away on

I could skate away on

I made my baby cry

I made my baby cry

I made my baby cry

I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me

He tried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease

You know, he put me at ease

And he loved me so naughty

Et il m'aimait si maladroitement

Made me weak in the knees

Me rendait faible aux genoux

Oh, I wish I had a river

Oh, je souhaiterais avoir une rivière

I made my baby say goodbye

I made my baby say goodbye

I made my baby say goodbye

I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer

They're putting up reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace

And singing songs of joy and peace
