Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blueBonito papel, bonitas cintas azules

Wrap your presents to your darling from youEnvuelve tus regalos para tu amor de parte tuya

Pretty pencils to write: I love youBonitos lápices para escribir "Te amo"

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blueBonito papel, bonitas cintas azules

Crowded street, busy feet hustle by himCalles abarrotadas, pies ocupados pasan a su lado

Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nighCompradores del centro, la Navidad está cerca

There he sits all alone on the sidewalkAllí él se sienta solo en la acera

Hoping that you won't pass him byEsperando que no lo ignores

Should you stop? Better not, much too busy¿Deberías detenerte?, mejor no, muy ocupado

You're in a hurry, my how time does flyEstás apurado, ¡cómo vuela el tiempo!

In the distance the ringing of laughterA lo lejos suena el risueño

And in the midst of the laughter he criesY en medio de las risas él llora
