Merry Christmas to all !!

I want to wish all of you merry Christmas now when it is only two days to the celebration.

I read this forum almost daily. Nowadays I´m very slow to participate, but I still feel connected to this forum.

Old christmas carols don´t mean much to me, but this one newer song touches me both musically and lyrically. So I include music video of this song. It´s taken from the album "Heavy christmas" where finnish rockers perform christmas songs their own style. Unfortunately it is in finnish, so I include englis lyrics (they are not in rhyme so don´t even try to sing along :-) )

Let there be Christmas

Snow on the fields, silent streets
the misery of autumn is left behind.
The flow of memories, the fairy tales of childhood
The message of Christmas is a new opportunity
It's Christmas again, rejoice!
A child has been born to us tonight
Let all the people on earth have hope,
Let all the prisoners free
Let the seed of faith rise
Let there be neverending peace.
I'd like to go with the shephards
To forget the hurry and tiresome noise.
When the morning came did anyone know
that first Christmas
could change the history?
It's Christmas again, rejoice!
A child has been born to us tonight
Let all the people on earth have hope,
Let all the prisoners free
Let there be love inside the people
That's when we have Christmas.
If you want to find eternal Christmas
open your heart and meet the Saviour
You will not find gold or a celebration
You'll only find a crib and a simple stable.
It's Christmas again, rejoice!
A child has been born to us tonight
Let all the people on earth have hope,
Let all the prisoners free
Let the seed of faith rise
Let there be neverending peace.
It's Christmas again, let the jingle bells rock
Somewhere a Mother is putting her child to sleep.
Let there be a true celebration, let Jesus
be the lord of that.
Let there be love inside the people
That's when we have Christmas.

Excellent! Thank you for sharing and the translation!

Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas to everybody



(Not French, old dialect and famous Christmas song here (South East)). Story is about travel of a shepherd with his horse who want to see Jesus at Christmas's night to cure his paintful leg.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

That's my lone contribution to this season. Merry Christmas, wherever you are and whatever you're doing. Remember the humble King.

Hope everyone enjoyed the day with their family or wherever you found yourselves !

The line up of singers is just great: Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica), Marco Hietala (Nightwish, Tarot), Ari Koivunen (Amoral), Elize Ryd (Amaranthe, Kamelot), JP Leppäluoto (Charon) etc...

It is good album. The only problem of it is, that it is a christmas album, you just don´t listen to it after christmas. I have tree copies (cd) of it, so if you like to have one, send me PM. You´ll have it for free if you pay the shipping.
