美國鄉村樂紅星［文斯吉爾］──鄉村／傳統流行／爵士／聖誕抒情曲──［Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas／讓自己過個美好聖誕］

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be far away

Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough (highest bough)

And have yourself
A merry little Christmas now
