It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
And then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly high
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
But I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost
The best baby that I ever had
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly high
Oh, I wish I had a river
That I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
Singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
It's coming on Christmas
クリスマスが近づいてきている
They're cutting down trees
木を切り倒してる人たちがいる
They're putting up reindeer
トナカイを飾る人たちがいる
Singing songs of joy and peace
喜びと平和の歌を歌っている
Oh, I wish I had a river
ああ、川があったらいいのに
I could skate away on
スケートで遠くまでいけるような
But it don't snow here
でもここでは雪は降らない
It stays pretty green
緑が続いている
I'm going to make a lot of money
私はたくさんのお金を稼ぐつもり
And then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
そして、この狂った状況から抜け出すの
Oh, I wish I had a river
ああ、川があったらいいのに
I could skate away on
スケートで遠くまでいけるような
I wish I had a river so long
とても長い川があったら
I would teach my feet to fly high
私は自分の足に高く飛ぶことを教えるでしょう
Oh, I wish I had a river
ああ、川があったらいいのに
I could skate away on
スケートで遠くまでいけるような
I made my baby cry
大切なあの人を泣かせてしまった
He tried hard to help me

You know, he put me at ease
そう、私を安心させてくれた
And he loved me so naughty
そして彼は私をとてもいたずらに愛した
Made me weak in the knees

Oh, I wish I had a river
ああ、川があったらいいのに
I could skate away on
私はそこでスケートをして逃げることができる
But I'm so hard to handle
でも私ってとても扱いにくい
I'm selfish and I'm sad
自己中だし悲しい
Now I've gone and lost
今、私は失ってしまった
The best baby that I ever had
