Winter Wonderland
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight; oh, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He's singing a song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
Well, in the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, are you married? We'll say no man
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid of the plans that we made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other kiddies knock him down
Oh, when it snows, ain't it filling
Though your nose gets a chilling?
We'll frolic and play the Eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
(Wonderland wonderland)
The lyrics to Engelbert Humperdinck's song "Winter Wonderland" evoke images of wintry magic and simple joys. The song describes a snow-covered world where sleigh bells are ringing, and everything is blanketed in snow. The first stanza sets the scene for this winter wonderland, filled with snow and beauty, and the singer is happy just walking around in it. Here, the beauty of the landscape is a kind of aphrodisiac, and the singer is filled with happiness at the breathtaking quality of the winter scene.
The next stanza of the song tells the listener that the bluebird has gone away but replaced by a new bird that sings along as the singer strolls through the wonderland. In this verse, the new bird represents the opportunity for new romance or love, suggesting that even in the midst of winter, love can still be found. The third stanza takes the listener to the meadow, where they can pretend to be a young couple, talking about building a snowman and pretending it is the Parson Brown, who can marry them. Later on, they continue to plot their love with a fire at their feet and whispers in the wind. The final verse brings the listener back to the snowman, not just a snowman but a circus clown adds excitement and wonder to the song.
