你说，今年我们不过圣诞节了
We won't have a Christmas this year, you say
因为孩子都全部离开了
For now the children have all gone away;
家中很空，很静，很孤单
And the house is so lonely, so quiet and so bare
有他们一起分享，我们才算是真正的过圣诞节
We couldn't have a Christmas that they didn't share.
你叹息到，我们今年不过圣诞节了
We won't have a Christmas this year, you sigh,
因为圣诞节已经变成了事物，必须用钱买的事物
For Christmas means things that money must buy.
我们担心，不幸和疾病降临
Misfortunes and illness have robbed us we fear
把我们需要用来过圣诞节的东西都抢走了
Of the things that we'd need to make Christmas this year.
你哭泣道，我们今年不过圣诞节了
We won't have a Christmas this year you weep,
因为所爱之人已逝，让我们万分悲痛
For a loved one is gone, and our grief is too deep;
我们的心需要很长的时间来愈合
It will be a long time before our hearts heal,
愈合后才能再次感受圣诞节的喜悦。
And the spirit of Christmas again we can feel.
但如果麻烦降临使你再也感受不到圣诞的喜悦
But if you lose Christmas when troubles befall,
你就没有真正的过圣诞节
You never have really had Christmas at all.
只要你曾经拥有过，它就不会失去
For once you have had it, it cannot depart
如果你体会到圣诞节的真正含义是--耶稣基督在你心中。
When you learn that true Christmas is Christ in your heart.
