On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partrage in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas
My true love game to me
Two turtle doves
And a partrage in a pear tree
On the third day of Chirstmas
My true love gave to me
Three French hens,

And a partrage in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partrage in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two trutle doves,
And a partrage in a pear tree
On the sixth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Six geese-a-laying,

The song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is a Christmas carol that has a cumulative structure, meaning each day's gifts build on the previous day's gifts. The song describes the gifts given by the singer's "true love" over the twelve days of Christmas. Each verse begins with announcing which day of Christmas it is and then naming the gifts that were given on that particular day. The gifts in the song are highly symbolic, with each item representing different Christian concepts or symbolism.
The first gift given on the first day of Christmas is "a partridge in a pear tree." The partridge is a symbol for Jesus Christ, and the pear tree represents the cross. The two turtle doves given on the second day symbolize the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The three French hens given on the third day stand for faith, hope, and love. The four calling birds on the fourth day represent the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The five golden rings given on the fifth day represent the first five books of the Bible, known as the Torah. The gifts continue to accumulate, with more birds, people, and musicians representing various Christian concepts or symbols.
Overall, the song is a celebratory representation of the various gifts that make the Christmas season special. The gifts, while highly symbolic, are also festive and fun, adding to the joyous atmosphere of the holiday season.
