Snow falls from the winter sky, the wind turns my breath white
The streets are illuminated with candle light, but somehow I've become lonely.

Lovers snuggle up to one another as they walk, from inside a window there's laughter
Innocent, merry children who don't know Santa's secret*

I've been thinking this holiday isn't important
But I'm lonely because everyone seems to be so happy with laughter**

If it's possible to have love, I pray that we can meet on this holy night
If we go back to when we believed in Santa Clause, we can keep meeting on Christmas even as long as ten years***

Since long ago, on this Eve's night, people can receive anything they wish for
Quickly, I want to embrace my loneliness with everyone's love****

I've been thinking this holiday isn't important
But I'm lonely because everyone seems to be so happy with laughter

If it's possible to have love, I pray that we can meet on this holy night
If we go back to when we believed in Santa Clause, we can keep meeting on Christmas even as long as ten years

The life that grows from this love is more important than myself
Even being worn out at the end of each day, I can return to today*****

A sincere Merry X-mas for you, On this holy night I can give you my feelings
If we go back to when we believed in Santa Clause, smiling, we can keep meeting even as long as ten years

Notes:
* As in, they still believe in Santa Clause.
** Almost as if he's trying to convince himself this holiday isn't important, but really it must be important because looking at everyone else's happiness, he feels lonely. (If it truly wasn't important, he wouldn't feel lonely...)
*** Adding to the second line: If we go back to when we believed in Santa Clause, we can keep meeting on this holy night/Christmas year after year, even for ten years.
**** Because ideally, Santa brings you what you wish for on this night, and he wishes for this.
***** When he's tired from the monotony of everyday life he can return to how he felt on this night.

Fuyu no sora ni yuki wa furidashi kaze wa itaku iki wa shiroku
machi wo terasu [KYANDORU] no hi ni naze daka setsunakunatta

Koibito-tachi wa yorisoi aruki mado no naka kara waraigoe
[SANTA] no himitsu shiranai mama mujaki ni hashagu kodomo-tachi

Sonna kinenbi to ka iranai to omotteta

Ai aru kagiri korekara sei naru yoru ni deaeru you ni inoru kara

冬の空に雪は降りだし
風は痛く息は白く
街を照らすキャンドルの灯に
なぜだか切なくなった

恋人達は寄り添い歩き
窓の中から笑い声
サンタの秘密知らないまま
無邪気にはしゃぐ子供達

そんな記念日とかいらないと思ってた
だけど寂しくなる
みんなが幸せそうに笑うから

愛ある限りこれから聖なる夜に
出逢るように祈るから
サンタクロース信じた頃に戻って逢おうよ10年先のクリスマスも

ずっと前からイブの夜には
みんなとこうして居られたら
僕の孤独もみんなの愛も
早く抱きしめたのに

そんな記念日とかいらないと思ってた
だけど寂しくなる
みんなが幸せそうに笑うから

愛ある限りこれから聖なる夜に
出逢るように祈るから
サンタクロース信じた頃に戻って逢おうよ10年先のクリスマスも

愛が芽生え自分より大切な命授かり
日々に追われ疲れても今日に戻ってくればいい

素直なMerry X'mas for you
聖なる夜に僕の想いをあげるから
サンタクロース信じた頃に戻って逢おうよ10年先も笑顔のままで
