In the mood for Christmas

Säv., San. & Sov. Tuomas Kannisto

1. Cinnamon, clove,

Gingerbread dough

shapes in a row, row, row.

No hustle no, no, no,

not in my home.

Porridge mellowing  

on a stove

boiling so slow, slow, slow.

No hustle no, no, no,

not in my home.

I’m in the mood for Christmas.

I’m in the mood for you.

I’m in the mood for love and the two of us

having our first Christmas.

2. Near the window,

coated in snow

branches droop low, low, low.

No hustle no, no, no,

not in my home.

Last embers glow.

I think I'll throw

some wood in, oh, and blow!

No hustle no, no, no,

not in my home.

I’m in the mood for Christmas.

I’m in the mood for you.

I’m in the mood for love and the two of us

having our first Christmas.

And one more time

I fantasize about your smile.

I see your star twinkling so far away.

And when you will stand by me

I'm starting to see the beauty

of Christmas time together with you!
