美國R&B／嘻哈靈魂巨星［瑪麗布萊姬］──成人流行／靈魂聖誕曲──［Do You Hear What I Hear?／你聽得到我聽到的嗎?］

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see?

Said the night wind to the little lamb

Do you see what I see?

Way up in the sky little lamb

Do you see what I see?

A star, a star

Dancing in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the Shepard boy

Do you hear what I hear?

Ringing through the sky Shepard boy

Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song

High above the trees

With a voice as big as the sea

With a voice as big as the sea

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you see what I see?

Do you see what I see?

Said the Shepard boy to the mighty King

Do you know what I know?

In your palace all mighty King

Do you know what I know?

A child, a child

Shivers in the cold

Let us bring him silver and gold

Let us bring him silver and gold

Silver and gold, all mighty King, all mighty King, ah ah

A child shivers in the cold

Let us bring him silver and gold, silver and gold

Said the King to the people everywhere

Listen to what I say

Pray for peace, people everywhere,

Listen to what I say

A child, a child

Sleeping in the night

He will bring us goodness and light

He will bring us goodness and light

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you hear what I hear?
