Kahit pa malayo ka, kahit nasaan ka pa
Maligayang bati para sa inyo sa araw ng pasko
Sa ibang bansa'y 'di mo makikita
Ang ngiti sa labi ng bawat isa
Alam naming hindi n'yo nais malayo
Paskong Pinoy pa rin sa ating puso, oh
Lagi mo na maiisip na sila'y nandito sana
At sa nochebuena ay magkakasama
Ang pasko ay kay saya kung kayo'y kapiling na
Sana pagsapit ng pasko, kayo'y naririto
Kahit pa malayo ka, kahit nasaan ka pa
Maligayang bati para sa inyo sa araw ng pasko
Dito'y mayro'ng karoling at may simbang gabi
At naglalakihan pa ang Christmas tree (ang Christmas tree)
Ang Christmas tree
Ang pasko ay kay saya kung kayo'y kapiling na
Sana pagsapit ng pasko, kayo'y naririto
Kahit pa malayo ka, kahit nasaan ka pa
Maligayang bati para sa inyo
Ang pasko ay kay saya kung kayo'y kapiling na

Sa may bahay ang aming bati
Merry Christmas na mal'walhati

Hihingi po ng aginaldo
Kung sakaling kami'y perwisyo
Pasensya na kayo't kami'y namamasko
Sa may bahay ang aming bati
Merry Christmas na mal'walhati
Ang pag-ibig pag s'yang naghari
Araw-araw ay magiging Pasko lagi
Ang sanhi po ng pagparito
Hihingi po ng aginaldo
Kung sakaling kami'y perwisyo
Pasensya na kayo't kami'y namamasko
Kung sakaling kami'y perwisyo
Pasensya na kayo't kami'y namamasko

Malamig ang simoy ng hangin
Kay saya ng bawat damdamin
Ang tibok ng puso sa dibdib
Para bang hulog na ng langit
