Lyrics

Take it all down, Christmas is over

Expressing the end of the Christmas season and the need to take down decorations.

Do not despair but rather be glad

Encouraging a positive outlook after Christmas, advising against despair.

We had a good year, now let's have another

Reflecting on a good year and expressing optimism for the upcoming one.

Remembering all the good times that we had

Recalling the enjoyable moments from the past year.


Oh, no more lights glistening, no more carols to sing

Highlighting the absence of festive lights and carols after Christmas.

But Christmas, it makes way for spring

Suggesting that the end of Christmas marks the beginning of spring.


The hearts of men are bitter and weathered

Describing the harsh and hardened nature of people's hearts.

As cold as the snow that falls from above

Comparing the bitterness of hearts to the coldness of falling snow.

But just for one day we all came together

Acknowledging a brief unity among people during Christmas, emphasizing love.

We showed the whole world that we know how to love

Highlighting the collective display of love during the Christmas season.


Oh, no more lights glistening, no more carols to sing

Repeating the idea of the absence of lights and carols after Christmas.

But Christmas, it makes way for spring

Reiterating that the end of Christmas paves the way for the arrival of spring.


Oh, no more lights glistening, no more carols to sing

Repeating the concept of the post-Christmas absence of lights and carols.

But Christmas, it makes way for spring

Emphasizing the transformative nature of Christmas leading to the arrival of spring.


Oh, remember that Christmas it makes way for spring

Encouraging the remembrance of the transition from Christmas to spring.
