| Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
| Bonito papel, bonitas cintas de azul.
|
| Wrap your presents to your darling from you
| Envuelve tus regalos a tu amor de ti
|
| Pretty pencils to write I love you
| Bonitos lápices para escribir te quiero
|
| Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
| Bonito papel, bonitas cintas de azul.
|
| Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by you
| Calles llenas de gente, los pies ocupados se apresuran a tu lado
|
| Downtown shoppers Christmas is night
| Compradores del centro La Navidad es noche
|
| There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
| Allí se sienta solo en la acera
|
| Hoping that you won’t pass him by
| Esperando que no lo pases por alto
|
| Should you stop better not much too busy
| Deberías parar mejor no demasiado ocupado
|
| Better hurry my, how time does fly
| Mejor date prisa mi, como pasa el tiempo
|
| And in the distance the ringing of laughter
| Y a lo lejos el repique de risas
|
| And in the midst of the laughter he cries
| Y en medio de la risa llora
|
| Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
| Bonito papel, bonitas cintas de azul.
|
| Wrap your presents to your darling from you
| Envuelve tus regalos a tu amor de ti
|
| Pretty pencils to write I love you
| Bonitos lápices para escribir te quiero
|
| Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
| Bonito papel, bonitas cintas de azul.
|
| Oh, oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue | Oh, oh, lindo papel, lindas cintas de azul |
