Hi guys!
I wanted to say a special "Merry Christmas" to ATS and its members, but I didn't knew how to make it memorable.
So, I thought that perhaps everyone could post their favorites Christmas songs, and bring a bit of atmosphere in ATS for the holidays, just to stop
bickering and fear for a couple of minutes and listen to beautiful music.
So, let's post some great Christmas songs. I'll start with my top three favorites.
My first top favorite, the most meaningful song that I've heard on radio, "Do They It's Christmas":
My second most favorite, a song that I've heard only once on the radio, and never heard it again until now (because it was a Christian song, see),
"Mary Did You Know":
This song was made 1980 and became one of the songs which you can´t avoid hearing from radio on Christmas time. It´s different and renders some
wretchedness of Christmas. In Scandinavia we prefer ham over Turkey on christmas table.
Translation
Pig
Our x-mas celebration starts already on May
At that time the pigs have the delicatessen in their mouths, it gets fatter
it grows bigger, it grows stronger
And come the November
and children's singing goes like this: it is no doubt the star of the x-mas
Pig - it takes a bullet in its head
Pig - nice man will slaughter it
Pig - and nice man will drink its blood
Pig - and it brings the X-mas spirit
I looked at the lying boar in the pig sty
With a painful expression, with a swelling stomach
At X-mas I don't remember the pig
Only ham I slobber after
and children's singing goes like this: it is no doubt the star of the x-mas
Pig - we put salt on it
Pig - we slobber together
Pig - and daddy is pleased
Pig - to drool
In the X-mas rush hour a man runs blindly
the Advent plows the slush in the streets
Someone looks at a human being, turns his head
When a person bathes in his/her pig sty
and children's singing goes like this: it is no doubt the star of the x-mas
Pig - it going to be put in the oven soon
Pig - its rear is going to be eaten
Pig - it is in the electric oven
Pig - and ma is working
Look mother has put in plenty
Pig's wearing a mustard veil
Big brother is sharpening his knife
And from the bones you know a pig
and children's singing goes like this: it is no doubt the star of the x-mas
Pig - finally it has been killed
Pig - environment gastric acid
Pig - oh how daddy eats
Pig - daddy's belt won't stretch any further
X-mas is full of ham, bacon, shank,
fat, neck and, of course, vodka
When the X-mas is over and the night set in
Then is the man what he eats

I see what you mean. Luckily for us, if there wouldn't have been your translation, we don't understand it. Otherwise, nobody would eat after
hearing that song!
