Bodach na Nollaig a' tighinn a-nochd

lyrics

Tha bodach na Nollaig a’ tighinn a-nochd

Tha bodach na Nollaig a’ tighinn a-nochd
Tha bodach na Nollaig a’ tighinn
Bha na balaich is na caileagan modhail is math
Tha bodach na Nollaig a’ tighinn


Tha ’n litir air a sgrìobhadh ’s tha liosta nis dèant’
Solais air na craobhan ri dealradh air gach taobh
Geansaidh ùr na Nollaig le dealbhan a tha brèagha
De bhodach na Nollaig a’ tighinn, ho ho ho.

Fàg a-mach an curran don rèin-fhiadh tha toirt iùil
Fàg a-mach am mìlsean don fhear tha aig an stiùir
Ithidh e air fad e ged bhiodh gu leòr do thriùir
Tha bodach na Nollaig a’ tighinn ho ho ho

Bodach còir na Nollaig a’ tighinn tron oidhch’
’S coma leis an t-sìde ged ’s fheàrr leis oiteag gaoith
A shèideas e ’s e sgèith air feadh ’s air fad an t-saoghail
Tha bodach na Nollaig a’ tighinn ho ho ho

Chan fheumar nis ach feitheamh gu madainn moch tràth
is èirear anns a’ mhadainn gu h-èasgaidh is gu slàn
Is èighear mach le aoibhneas, le taingealachd a’ ghràidh
Tha bodach na Nollaig air tighinn, ho ho ho


Father Christmas on his way

Father Christmas is on his way
Father Christmas is on his way
The boys and girls have been good and well-behaved
Father Christmas is on his way


The letter has been written and the list is now complete
Lights on the tree shining all around
A new Christmas Jumper with pictures showing
Father Christmas is on his way, ho ho ho.

Leave out a carrott for the reindeer
Leave out a sweet for the one who is steering
He'll eat it all, even if there is enough for three
Father Christmas is on his way, ho ho ho.

Kind Father Christmas is on his journey at night
He doesn't mind the weather though he prefers a gentle breeze
That will blow him as he flies all over the world
Father Christmas is on his way, ho ho ho.

All we have to do now is wait until early morning
and we'll awaken early - eager and healthy
And we'll shout out with joy, with thanks and love
Father Christmas has been, ho ho ho., ho ho ho
