The Twelve Days of Christmas
Francis Connie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My true love brought to me
A partridge in a pear tree
On the second day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the third day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Five goldenen rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the sixth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the eighth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree
On the ninth day of Christmas
My true love brought to me
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three French hens
Two turtle doves
And a partridge in a pear tree

Happy golden days of yore.
Those were the happy and carefree days of the past we fondly remember,
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Friends who have remained loyal to us over the years,
Gather near to us once more.
We have come together again, just like old times,
Through the years
As time goes by and we age,
We all will be together,
We will always be united and close to each other,
If the Fates allow
If destiny or circumstances permit,
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
A star serves as a symbol or reminder of hope, happiness, and peace, even in the turbulent times,
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
So let us celebrate Christmas with joy, love, and good cheer for the present moment.
