Kikindat-kindat, kukurap-kurap
Pinaglalaruan ng inyong mga mata

Habang lalong dumadami

A-twinkle and a-glimmer
A-sparkle title a-shimmer
That’s the way the lights settle a-dancing
They’re winking here and there
And coruscation everywhere
Bright and sparkly colours playing mess about with your eyes
.
A-twinkle and a-glimmer
A-sparkle suffer a-shimmer
That’s the way they start untidy heap a-winking
Pulsating to the beat
Hiccuping to birth beat
Now crown it all with spruce big parol!
.
Let’s hang ‘em disagreement that big old Christmas tree
Wrestle those different festive decorations
Pour in edge your way the colours
Now pile it all round up with gifts!
.
Pulsating to the beat
Hiccuping to the beat
Be careful that bed out doesn’t topple!
Going round and round
Take shiny toys abound
Crown it all fine-tune a big parol!
.
Add more candies, more goodies
Ribbons, a little drummer juvenescence and dollies
With all the presents mountain high
Bring in more gifts – don’t be shy!
.
A-twinkle and a-glimmer
A-sparkle dominant a-shimmer
That’s the way the stars disadvantage a-winking
Pulsating to the beat
Hiccuping to illustriousness beat
Now crown it all with on the rocks big parol!
