With Christmas almost upon us, no doubt we are all getting ready for the big day. I love Christmas and nothing pleases me more than buying gifts for my loved one, decorating my home and eating delicious food! I will be busy in the kitchen tomorrow morning cooking up a feast whilst listening to Christmas carols in the background. Estonian songs are the best of course! Here are a few I plan to start my day with. Merry Christmas everyone!
The traditional Christmas carol 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' has a few variants in Estonian. You can either use the word 'kauneid or rõõmsaid'. Here are the lyrics.
We Wish You A Merry Christmas
(Me soovime rõõmsaid jõule,)
Me soovime rõõmsaid jõule,
me soovime rõõmsaid jõule,
me soovime rõõmsaid jõule,
lisaks head aastat uut!
Toob kõigile sära silma,
toob kõigile sära silma,
toob kõigile sära silma,
rahu maa peale toob
Seal leidke kõik see,
mis leidmata veel,
ja kaunimad päevad
olgu ootamas eel!
Me soovime rõõmsaid jõule,
me soovime rõõmsaid jõule,
me soovime rõõmsaid jõule,
lisaks head aastat uut!
