Winter - зима

Trees on a window pane

1. December - декабрь
December comes so white and cold,
With snow it stops the rain.
It comes and draws trees young and old
On every window-pane.

* draw [drɔ:] - рисовать, чертить
* window-pane ['wɪndəʋpeɪn] - оконное стекло

2. Frosty Windows
When windows are frosty
And icy in places
I like to write letters,
Or draw funny faces,
Or flowers or houses
Or maybe a cat -
I really wish windows
Were always like that!

* frosty ['frɒstɪ] - морозный
* icy in places - кое-где покрыты льдом
* I really wish windows were always like that - Как бы мне хотелось, чтобы окна всегда были такими

3. How to go on ice and snow
When does snow blow?
When do flowers grow?
Is it best to go a little slow
When streets are covered with ice and snow?


* blow [bləυ] - дуть; идти (о снеге)
* Обратите внимание:
"does snow ..."
(snow - неисчисляемое сущ.),
"do flowers ..."
(flowers - множественное число)
* streets are covered with ice - улицы покрыты льдом

4. On the Ice - на льду
Slide, slide, the ice is strong
Quickly, quickly slide along!
Slide along and don't be slow
In the cold your face will glow!
Slide along, slide very fast,
It's a shame to be the last.

* slide [slaɪd] - скользить
* glow [ɡləυ] - румянец, пылать (о щеках)

5. I like winter - Люблю зиму
It's winter now, so bundle up tight!
Warm mittens and caps will be just right.
Ice on the lake, snow on the ground,
Time to ski and skate all around.
Winter, spring, summer, fall -
I like winter best of all!

* bundle up tight - хорошо укутайся
* fall [fɔ:l] - осень (амер.)

Новый год и Рождество - a New Year and Christmas

Christmas tree

A Happy New Year!
The day is so clear,
The snow is so white,
The sky is so bright,
We shout with all might.
A Happy New Year!

* shout [ʃaυt] with all might [maɪt] - кричать изо всех сил

Песенка - поздравление

Good tidings to you wherever you are
Good tidings for Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Cristmas (3 times - 3 раза)
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

* tidings - новости известия
* wherever [weər'evə] you are - где бы ты ни был

Есть и другие версии этой песенки, например, такая

* kin - родственники, семья
* figgy pudding - пудинг с инжиром (fig - инжир)
