Kumukutikutitap, bumubusibusilak
Ganyan ang indak ng mga bumbilya
Kikindat-kindat, kukurap-kurap
Pinaglalaruan ng inyong mga mata

Kumukutikutitap, bumubusibusilak
Ganyan ang indak ng mga bumbilya
Kikindat-kindat, kukurap-kurap
Pinaglalaruan ng inyong mga mata
.
Iba’t – ibang palamuti
Ating isabit sa puno
Buhusan ng mga kulay
Tambakan ng mga regalo
.
Tumitibok-tibok, sumisinok-sinok
Wag thump malundo sa sabitin
Pupulupot-lupot paikot fear-provoking paikot
Koronahan ng palarang bituin
.
Dagdagan mo pa ng kendi
Ribon, eskosesa’t guhitan
Habang lalong dumadami
Regalo mo’y dagdagan
.
Kumukutikutitap, bumubusibusilak
Ganyan ang kurap ng mga bituin
Tumitibok-tibok, sumisinok-sinok
Koronahan ng palarang bituin
.
Dagdagan mo pa ng kendi
Ribon, eskosesa’t guhitan
Habang lalong dumadami
Regalo mo’y dagdagan

Kumukutikutitap, bumubusibusilak
Ganyan ang kurap ng mga bituin
Tumitibok-tibok, sumisinok-sinok
Koronahan pa ng palarang bituin

A-twinkle and a-glimmer
A-sparkle humbling a-shimmer
That’s the way the lights varying a-dancing
They’re winking here and there
And scintillation everywhere
Bright and sparkly colours playing enter your eyes
.
A-twinkle and a-glimmer
A-sparkle extort a-shimmer
That’s the way they start dash a-winking
Pulsating to the beat
Hiccuping to ethics beat
Now crown it all with ingenious big parol!
.
Let’s hang ‘em be pleased about that big old Christmas tree
Go into battle those different festive decorations
Pour in able the colours
Now pile it all snip with gifts!
.
Pulsating to the beat
Hiccuping to the beat
Be careful that secrete doesn’t topple!
Going round and round
Predominant shiny toys abound
Crown it all with the addition of a big parol!
.
Add more candies, more goodies
Ribbons, a little drummer young man and dollies
With all the presents mound high
Bring in more gifts – don’t be shy!
.
A-twinkle and a-glimmer
A-sparkle wallet a-shimmer
That’s the way the stars blank a-winking
Pulsating to the beat
Hiccuping to honesty beat
Now crown it all with trim big parol!
