[Verse 1]

Vi starter dagen med julebryg, ta’r listen frem

We start the day with Christmas brew, take out the list

opgaver fordeles, alle kender deres hjem

tasks are distributed, everyone knows their place

kalkunen fyldt med æbler, svesker, ovnen tændt

the turkey filled with apples, prunes, the oven on

duften er december, og hele huset er vendt

the scent is December, and the whole house is turned upside down

Der skrælles kartofler, de små til karamel

Potatoes are peeled, the small ones for caramel

slikskålen samles, hvor grinene bor i sig selv

the candy bowl is gathered, where laughter lives within itself

Mormor og morfar læner sig, nyder roens magi

Grandma and Grandpa lean back, enjoying the magic of peace

mens vi ruller jul i gang, præcis som vi kan li’

as we get Christmas rolling, exactly as we like it

[Omkvæd] · Chorus

Lys i træet, gaver under, sne i vores sind

Lights in the tree, presents underneath, snow in our minds

vi skåler ind i varmen, familien finder ind

we toast into the warmth, the family gathers in

Traditioner danser rundt i stuen, trygt og fuld af smil

Traditions dance around the living room, safe and full of smiles

det vigtigste i verden er, vi er sammen jul i jul

the most important thing in the world is that we are together Christmas after Christmas

Hey, hey, hele familien—glædelig jul!

Hey, hey, the whole family—Merry Christmas!

[Vers 2] · Verse 2

Sander, Melanie, Emma og Sara—slikskål klar

Sander, Melanie, Emma and Sara—candy bowl ready

Jeff og Brian skåler men de laver mad

Jeff and Brian toast but they are cooking

Ellie kigger stjernestort på træ og pakker bånd

Ellie looks star-eyed at the tree and package ribbons

Camilla, Sebastian holder tiden blid og hånd

Camilla, Sebastian keep time gentle and at hand

Denise og Anja dækker bord og tænder lys

Denise and Anja set the table and light candles

de unge slapper af og venter på det næste kys

the young ones relax and wait for the next kiss

Onkel Steen med mandelgave, Disney passer lige

Uncle Steen with the almond gift, Disney fits just right

klokken smager and og fred—så er maden endelig ud

the clock tastes duck and peace—then the food is finally out

Lys i træet, gaver under, sne i vores sind

Lights in the tree, presents underneath, snow in our minds

vi skåler ind i varmen, familien finder ind

we toast into the warmth, the family gathers in

Traditioner danser rundt i stuen, trygt og fuld af smil

Traditions dance around the living room, safe and full of smiles

det vigtigste i verden er, vi er sammen til jul

the most important thing in the world is that we are together for Christmas

Hey, hey, hele familien—glædelig jul!

Hey, hey, the whole family—Merry Christmas!

Risalamande ruller ind—hvem får mandlen mon?

Risalamande rolls in—who gets the almond, I wonder?

Er det far igen i år? Vi griner, driller lidt

Is it Dad again this year? We laugh, tease a little

Rundt om juletræet, hænder, hjerter, sang så sjov

Around the Christmas tree, hands, hearts, song so fun

Ellies øjne vokser, vi synger falsk—det er også vores tradition

Ellie's eyes grow wide, we sing off-key—that's our tradition too

Gaver åbnes, Sander, Melanie, Emma, Sara deler ud

Presents are opened, Sander, Melanie, Emma, Sara hand them out

papir som sne og taknemlighed i hvert et lille knud

paper like snow and gratitude in every little knot

Nattøj, sofa, slik til vi revner nu træthed melder sig

Pajamas, sofa, candy until we burst, now tiredness sets in

Vi hvisker over stuen: Hele familien—glædelig jul!

We whisper across the living room: The whole family—Merry Christmas!

[Omkvæd] · Chorus

Lys i træet, gaver under, sne i vores sind

Lights in the tree, presents underneath, snow in our minds

vi skåler ind i varmen, familien finder ind

we toast into the warmth, the family gathers in

Traditioner danser rundt i stuen, trygt og fuld af smil

Traditions dance around the living room, safe and full of smiles

det vigtigste i verden er, vi er sammen til jul

the most important thing in the world is that we are together for Christmas

Hey, hey, hele familien—glædelig jul!

Hey, hey, the whole family—Merry Christmas!
