Carol of the Bells Songtext
von John Williams

Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, "Throw cares away"
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer (ding, dong)
To young and old, meek and the bold (ding, dong)

Ding-dong, ding-dong, that is their song (ding, dong)
With joyful ring, all caroling (ding, dong)
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere filling the air

Oh, how they pound, raising their sound
O′er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send, on without end (ding, dong)
Their joyful tone to every home (ding, ding, dong)

With joyful ring, all caroling (ding, dong)
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere filling the air

Oh, how they pound, raising their sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gaily they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas

On, on they send, on without end (ding, dong)
Their joyful tone to every home (ding, ding, dong)

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
