It's Only Christmas
Ronan Keating Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you say a prayer and send it on a star?
Well maybe I'm just being oversentimental
But now it's Christmas and I miss us most of all
You know I never really took the time to thank you
I was always thinking you were here to stay
Is it something in the air that gets me crazy
'Cause now it's Christmas but I miss us just the same
When it's cold I get lonely
I can't talk, I can't walk, I can't breathe
Then I dream and you hold me
And the angels are singing with me
I guess it's Christmas when I miss us most of all
So let the snow come down and drown out all my sorrows
Maybe I can dance again with you
And as the children sing I swear I heard you whisper
That now it's Christmas but I miss us just the same
When it's cold I get lonely
I can't talk, I can't walk, I can't breathe
Then I dream and you hold me
And the angels are singing with me
I guess it's Christmas when I miss us most of all
I guess it's Christmas when I miss us most of all
'Cause now it's Christmas and I miss us most of all
In Ronan Keating's hit song "It's Only Christmas" he describes the feelings of loneliness and nostalgia that can arise during the holiday season. The opening lines of the song ask the listener if they remember what they wished for each Christmas and if they sent a prayer on a star. The subsequent verse then reveals that the lyrics are personal, as Keating muses about being oversentimental and missing someone during Christmas. The rest of the song is an emotional journey of reminiscing about precious memories and the desire to dance with a loved one once again.
Keating's lyrics beautifully capture the bittersweet emotions that can arise during the holiday season. While Christmas is traditionally a time of joy and togetherness, it can also be a reminder of those we have lost, whether they are physically or emotionally absent. The repetition of the line "when it's cold, I get lonely" highlights this sense of isolation and longing, and the simple but poignant refrain of "I guess it's Christmas when I miss us most of all" summarizes the overall theme of the song.
In conclusion, "It's Only Christmas" is a touching and relatable song that goes beyond typical holiday cheer. It acknowledges the complex emotions that can arise during the season and serves as a lyrical reminder to cherish those we love.

Este doar Crăciunul
Îți amintești ce ți-ai dorit pentru fiecare Crăciun
Spuneți o rugăciune și trimiteți-o pe steaua noastră
Sau poate că sunt exagerat de sentimental
Dar acum este Crăciunul și cel mai mult mi-e dor de noi
Știi că nu am avut niciodată timp să-ți mulțumesc
M-am gândit mereu că ești aici ca să rămâi
Este ceva în aer care mă înnebunește
Pentru că acum e Crăciunul, dar mi-e dor de noi la fel
Când e frig, mă simt singur
Nu pot vorbi, nu pot merge, nu pot respira
Apoi visez și tu mă ții
Și îngerii cântă cu mine
Presupun că e Crăciunul când îmi este cel mai dor de noi
Așa că lasă-i să-i scriu și să-mi înece toate necazurile
Și poate voi dansa din nou cu tine
Și în timp ce copiii cântă, jur că te-am auzit șoptind
Că acum este Crăciun, dar mi-e dor de noi la fel
Când e frig, mă simt singur
Nu pot vorbi, nu pot merge, nu pot respira
Apoi visez și tu mă ții
Și îngerii cântă cu mine
Presupun că e Crăciunul când îmi este cel mai dor de noi
Presupun că e Crăciunul când îmi este cel mai dor de noi
Pentru că acum este Crăciunul și cel mai mult mi-e dor de noi. Tradusă cu ajutorul dictionarului on-line, reverențe!

Für meinen Geschmack eines der besten Duette in der Popmusik. Die Stimmen harmonieren so perfekt, einfach unglaublich.... 😍😍😍
Hayley hat die Stimme eines Engels und ist zudem eine bildhübsche Frau.
Wirklich ein traumhaftes Weihnachtslied, weil das "Fest der Liebe" musikalisch perfekt abgebildet ist.
