New Zealand Jingle Bells 聖誕鈴聲- 紐西蘭版

我問一個本來是英國人後來搬去紐西蘭定居的客戶，在南半球過聖誕節還習慣嗎？他寄給我下文...

Dashing through the bush,
in a rusty Holden Ute,
Kicking up the dust,
Turkey in the boot,
Kids are by my side,
singing Christmas songs,
It's Summer time and I am in
my singlet, shorts and thongs.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in New Zealand on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Engine's getting hot;
We better stop for ice
Put it in the chiller
to keep the beer just nice.
All the family's here,
sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Kiwi way,
by the barbecue.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in New Zealand on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Come the afternoon,
Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce,
are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes 'round to go,
we take the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through,
before the washing up.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in New Zealand on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
