Christmas Time Is Here (A Charlie Brown Christmas)

"Christmas Time is Here" is the opening song from A Charlie Brown Christmas, written by Lee Mendelson and Vince Guaraldi. Sung by the choir of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, it is heard as Charlie Brown and Linus join the rest of the gang in ice skating on the frozen pond.

The vast majority of dubs of the special left the song in English unchanged, however, few of the dubs of this special translated it, some in different ways.

 * Singer: St. Paul's Episcopal Church Children’s Choir

Christmas time is here, Happiness and cheer, Fun for all that children call, Their favorite time of the year.

Snowflakes in the air, Carols everywhere, Olden times and ancient rhymes, Of love and dreams to share.

Sleigh bells in the air, Beauty everywhere, Yuletide by the fireside, And joyful memories there.

Christmas time is here, We'll be drawing near, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year.

Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year...

Sleigh bells in the air, Beauty everywhere, Yuletide by the fireside, And joyful memories there.

Christmas time is here, We'll be drawing near, Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year. Oh, that we could always see, Such spirit through the year…

The song was replaced in this dub with the German chrildren's Christmas carol Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen, though the original song can be heard when Charlie Brown and Linus speak.

Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen, wann kommst du geschneit? Du wohnst in den Wolken, dein Weg ist so weit.
 * -|Lyrics=

Komm setz dich ans Fenster, du lieblicher Stern, malst Blumen und Blätter, wir haben dich gern.

Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen, komm zu uns ins Tal. Dann bau’n wir den Schneemann und werfen den Ball.

Leise rieselt der Schnee, still und starr liegt der See, weihnachtlich glänzet der Wald, freue dich, Christkind kommt bald! Snowflake whitedress, When are you coming snow? You live in the clouds, your path is so long.
 * -|Translation=

Come sit by the window, you lovely star, paint flowers and leaves, we like you.

Snowflake whitedress, come to us in the valley. Then we build the snowman and throw the ball.

Let it snow, the lake lies still and rigid, The forest shines like Christmas, Rejoice, Christ Child is coming soon!
