AU ROYAUME DU BONHOMME HIVER (Winter Wonderland)
(Dick Smith / Felix Bernard)
Ensemble Vocal Jazz Bémol 9
Écoutez les clochettes
Du joyeux temps des fêtes
Annonçant la joie
Dans chaque cœur qui bat
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver
Sous la neige qui tombe
Le traîneau vagabonde
Semant tout autour
des chansons d'amour
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver
Le voilà qui sourit sur la place
Son chapeau, sa canne et son foulard
Il semble nous dire d'un ton bonace
Ne voyez-vous donc pas qu'il est en tard
Il dit vrait tout de même
Près du feu, je t'emmène
Allons nous chauffer dans l'intimité
Au royaume du bonhomme hiver

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married
We'll so no man,
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
