[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

det vigtigste i verden er, vi er sammen til jul

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

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

Hey, hey, hele familien—glædelig jul!
