*****Top Christmas Songs For All Time*****

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
这是一首著名的美国圣诞颂歌，文字由John Henry Hopkins作于1857年，无论文法还是用词都极为讲究。这里在众多演唱版本中选了听得最清楚的独唱，只是在静静地述说一个必将发生的故事：
　　东方三博士按照星星指引的方向，带着各自的礼物寻访刚刚降生的小耶稣：一个是为他加冕的金冠（gold），一个是象征神性光辉的熏香（incense），一个是预示人子最终死亡命运的没药（myrrh）。主的降临一开始就是辉煌而凄凉的：这颗星为黑夜带来光明，为人世传播奇迹，散发着尊贵的美（star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright）。然而，他既是王，也是神，更是赎罪的祭品（King and God and Sacrifice）——

英文歌词

We Three Kings (We Three Kings Of Orient Are)

Jennefer Avalon

We three kings of orient are bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star
Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, gold I bring to crown Him again
King for ever, ceasing never, over us all to reign
O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding guide us to thy perfect light
Frankincense to offer have I, incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising, all men raising. Worship Him, God most high
O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding guide us to thy perfect light
Myrrh is mine. Its bitter perfume breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, sealed in the stone cold tomb
Glorious now behold Him arise, King and God and Sacrifice
Alleluia, alleluia, earth to heaven replies
O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding guide us to thy perfect light

Santa Baby-Taylor Swift

让我们一起来听一首Taylor Swift翻唱自Eartha Kitt经典的Santa Baby.虽然是一首翻唱歌曲，可是Taylor Swift却把这首歌打上了自己的印记，一股乡村音乐独有的清新气息，和一股顽皮劲儿，给我们带来了不一样的圣诞的感觉

Santa Baby-Taylor Swift

Santa Baby,

Slip a sable under the tree,
For me,
i'll wait up for you dear,
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby,
A fifty four convertable too,
Light blue,
i've been an awful good girl,
Santa baby
So hurry down the chimney tonight
yeah yeah

Think of all the fun I've missed,
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed,
Next year I could be just as good,
If you check off my Christmas list

Santa baby,
I want a yacht and really that's not a lot,
I've been an angel all year,
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight,

Santa honey
There's one more thing I really do need,
The deed,
To a platinum mine,
Santa honey,
So hurry down the chimney tonight,

Come and trim my Christmas tree,
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's,
I really do believe in you,
Let's see if you believe in me,

Santa baby,
Forgot to mention one little thing,
A ring,
And I don't mean on the phone
Santa baby,
So hurry down the chimney tonight
