Pretty Paper
(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap you presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how times does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap you presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Bonito Papel
(El bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules)
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
Envuelven tus regalos para tu amor de parte tuya
Bonitos lápices para escribir "Te amo"
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
Calle abarrotada, pies ocupados pasan junto a él
Compradores del centro, la Navidad está cerca
Allí él se sienta solo en la acera
Esperando que no lo ignores
¿Deberías detenerte? Mejor no, muy ocupado
Estás apurado, ¡cómo vuela el tiempo!
A lo lejos suena la risa
Y en medio de la risa él llora
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
Envuelven tus regalos para tu amor de parte tuya
Bonitos lápices para escribir "Te amo"
Bonito papel, bonitas cintas azules
