La pulce d'acqua diventa il Bambino Gesù. Ecco la sorprendente versione inglese di Peter Sinfield, che curò l'intero album pubblicato col titolo "Fables and Fantasies", 1979.
Merry we will be
(Peter Sinfield)
Go light the lantern and hang it on the gate
As a
sign that all men are welcome
In this house tonight to spend
Christmastide
Among friendly company
Then build the fire to a yuletide
blaze
And keep the great spit turning
Send the fiddlers in give us fair
young maids
And merry we will be.
We've garlands red and garlands
green
And a tree with stars and tinsel
Where an angel blest by Father
James
Looks down upon our feast
Here comes the man of God himself
Give
him wine and bid him welcome
When his cheeks are red he'll forget his
bed
And merry we will be.
There's holly hung from every beam
There's
mistletoe and ivy
If I catch you there I will take my share
Of kisses
given free
There's gifts for all both tall and small
There's trinkets toys
and baubles
So fill your dish with all you wish
And merry we will
be.
We've garlands red and garlands green
And a tree with stars and
tinsel
For its open house and open hearts
This time of year to all
So
if you're passing by and hear
The sounds of joy and laughter
Won't you
step inside this Christmastide
And merry we will be.
Go light the lantern
and hang it on the gate
As a sign all men are welcome
In this house
tonight that is shining bright
With fire light and love
We've garlands red
and garlands green
And a tree with stars and tinsel
Good friends come one
come all this night
And merry we will be.
