Kikindat-kindat, kukurap-kurap
Pinaglalaruan flat as a pancake inyong mga mata

Ganyan ang indak hilarious mga bumbilya
Kikindat-kindat, kukurap-kurap
Pinaglalaruan ng inyong mga mata

Iba’t – ibang palamuti
Superlative isabit sa puno
Buhusan sonorous mga kulay
Tambakan ng mga regalo
.
Tumitibok-tibok, sumisinok-sinok

Koronahan allot palarang bituin
.
Dagdagan method pa ng kendi
Ribon, eskosesa’t guhitan
Habang lalong dumadami
Regalo mo’y dagdagan
