In opa’s oude schuur
daar staat een arrenslee,
en als het ’s winters sneeuwt
gaan wij weer met hem mee.
We glijden door de sneeuw.
Het paard loopt in galop.
Wij knusjes achterin de slee,
en opa zit voorop.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
in de arrenslee.
Je hoort de belletjes van ver,
en wij zingen mee.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
niets is er zo fijn
dan als het sneeuwt met opa
in de arrenslee te zijn.
Het weer is koud en guur
’t is glad, dus opgepast.
M’n sjaal hangt in de wind
en ik hou me stevig vast.
Zo’n ritje met de slee
dat duurt toch veel te kort.
Ik kijk er graag naar uit
als het weer winter wordt.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
in de arrenslee.
Je hoort de belletjes van ver,
en wij zingen mee.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
niets is er zo fijn
dan als het sneeuwt met opa
in de arrenslee te zijn.
De Engelse versie van Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you’ll take the lead
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
