Happy Christmas
Plcido Domingo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fears.
And so this is Christmas for weak and for strong,
The rich and the poor ones, the road is so long.
And so happy Christmas for black and for white
For the yellow and red ones let's stop all the fights.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.
And so this is Christmas and what have we done
Another year over, a new one just begun.
And so happy Christmas we hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones, the old and the young.
A very merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear.
War is over if you want it, war is over now.
The lyrics of Plcido Domingo's Happy Christmas convey a message of reflection on the year that is coming to a close, the hope for happiness in the new year, and a call for peace amongst people of all races, social classes, and backgrounds. The repetition of "And so this is Christmas" magnifies the weight of the message, emphasizing the need for individuals to take stock of their actions and to consider how to make the future better. The lines "The near and the dear ones, the old and the young" convey the universality of the holiday and the importance of spending time with loved ones. The hope for a "good one without any fears" encourages listeners to focus not only on personal happiness but also on the well-being of others.
The lyrics also include a powerful statement on ending war: "War is over if you want it, war is over now." This phrase is a reference to John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1971 song "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," which similarly promotes the idea of ending conflict. However, Plcido Domingo's version is more of an outright call to action. The phrase "if you want it" speaks directly to listeners, urging them to take responsibility for creating a peaceful world.
