At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

在聖誕時節 迎接光明 遺棄黑暗

And in our world of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy

在我們豐饒的世界裡 散播著歡快的微笑

Throw your arms around the world at Christmas time

在聖誕時節 敞開雙臂 擁抱世界

But say a prayer and pray for the other ones

讓我們低頭禱告 為他人祈福

At Christmas time, it's hard but while you're having fun

在聖誕時節玩樂的時候 要靜下心祈禱十分困難

There's a world outside your window and it's a world of dread and fear

但有個世界的人們仍處於恐懼與害怕

Where a kiss of love can kill you

在那裏 一個吻都可能致命

And there's death in every tear

淚水中 死亡遍布

And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom

那裡沒有聖誕鐘聲 只有令人絕望的喪鐘

Well tonight we're reaching out and touching you

今晚 我們伸手擁抱

Bring peace and joy this Christmas to West Africa

帶著和平與喜悅的聖誕節來到西非

A song of hope where there's no hope tonight

讓充滿希望的歌曲取代絕望

Why is comfort to be feared, why is to touch to be scared

為何安慰如此讓人害怕 為何擁抱讓人恐懼

How can they know it's Christmas time at all

他們又怎麼知道今天是聖誕節呢

Here's to you

讓我們舉杯

Raise a glass to everyone

敬所有人

Here's to them

向他們致敬

And all their years to come

祝福他們早日脫離恐懼

Can they know it's Christmas time at all

他們又怎麼知道今天是聖誕節？

Feed the world, let them know it's Christmas time again

回饋這個世界 讓所有人知道聖誕即將到來
