Reseña

La discografía de Cyndi Lauper presenta con este álbum de 1998 su particular y excéntrica visión de la música navideña. 'Merry Christmas... Have a Nice Life!', de hecho, es un disco que se aleja por completo de las producciones solemnes y orquestales típicas del género. Por lo tanto, Cyndi Lauper ofrece una colección de canciones festivas con un sonido ecléctico, que fusiona el pop con el folk, el zydeco y otros ritmos del mundo.

En consecuencia, el álbum es increíblemente original y divertido. La producción es mayormente acústica y orgánica, con un uso prominente de instrumentos como el acordeón, la mandolina y las flautas. Como resultado, el disco tiene un aire de celebración casera y familiar.

Además, la mayoría de las canciones son composiciones originales de Cyndi Lauper, con letras que a menudo tienen un toque de humor e ironía. Por ejemplo, "Christmas Conga" es una invitación a la fiesta con ritmo latino, mientras que la canción que da título al disco es una reflexión agridulce sobre las reuniones familiares.

Por otro lado, el álbum también incluye algunas versiones de clásicos, pero siempre llevadas a su terreno personal. En resumen, 'Merry Christmas... Have a Nice Life!' es uno de los discos navideños más singulares y encantadores que se han grabado, un fiel reflejo de la personalidad única de su autora.

letra de Home On Christmas Day
Sitting in some hotel room
Some place far away
Saw a shop light screaming christmas
Bought your present there today

I'll be home on christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be

The drunken santa on the corner
Looks a little blue
But the twinkle in his eye dear
Looks a little like you

I'll be home on christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
Home on christmas day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere I'll be
You will always be christmas to me

Something about this season
Makes me feel a little queer
Everybody's so dam jolly
I wish you were here

I'll be home on christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
Home on christmas day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere I'll be
You will always be christmas to me

letra de Early Christmas Morning
Listen to the children sing
Watch them dancing all 'round the Christmas tree ...
Waiting for the opening
Early Christmas morning ...

All around the world is sleeping
Little children there's no peeping
Wait and see what Santa's bringing
Early Christmas morning ...

Icicles and breakfast cakes ...
Friends and family we will celebrate
Sounds that joy and laughter make
Early Christmas morning ...

All around and far off places
Angels waken smiling faces
Wrapping us with love and graces
Early Christmas morning ...
Early Christmas morning ...

Christmas CongaVer letra

letra de Christmas Conga
It's time to make the christmas punch
Let's hang the streamers from the ceiling
Bring out the old cheer
Ring in the new year
And get that christmas feeling

Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the christmas conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the christmas conga

The old white tree still looks good
And grandma's angels got me thinking
String up the new lights,
Brighten the cold nights
And get those baubles blinking

Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the christmas conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the christmas conga

And then we'll put on party hats
As the year comes to a conclusion
Turn on the yule log
Spike up the egg nog
And break those resolutions

Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
Happy times with all your friends
Come on and hold my hips a little longer
As we do the christmas conga,
Bonga, bonga, bonga, bonga
Do the christmas conga
Minnie And SantaVer letra

letra de Minnie And Santa
I worked with a woman named minnie
One christmas eve long ago
When i asked "what you doing this evening ?"
Minnie took on a seasonal glow
She said she'd be waiting for santa
She'd be wearing a bright red bow(Oh)

Chorus:
Minnie and santa
Minnie and santa
What they're up to only
Heaven knows she wrote on a card
"Don't take it so hard we're headed for the north pole"

Now minnie could not be persuaded
that santa just did not exist
She swore if she put up some mistletoe
Santa'd come give her a kiss
And there where she'd hung up her stockings
All in their silky, soft, sheen
She'd be laying in wait on a bear skin rug
Where the cookies and milk could be seen

Chorus:
Minnie and santa
Minnie and santa
What they're up to only
Heaven knows she wrote on a card
"don't take it so hard we're headed for the north pole"
(musical interlude)

Now minnie was older and wiser
Like a dear old Auntie to me
But the night that she ran off with santa
Was a real epiphany

Chorus:
Minnie and santa
Minnie and santa
What they're up to only
Heaven knows she wrote on a card
"don't take it so hard we're headed for the north pole"

Next Xmas I passed by the bakery
Staring out from on top of a cake
Was jolly old Santa with a big silly grin
And a gal in silk stockings and lace
Oh, Minnie and Santa...
Feels Like ChristmasVer letra

letra de Feels Like Christmas
If you want to see me
Don't break down and cry
I can be your sweetie
If you be a friend of mine
And I won't be forsaken
If you think thoughts unkind
Just bring home the bacon
And bring it home on time

Hey Louie, can't you see
I couldn't leave you if I tried
Hey Louie, listen to me
We got a thing so dignified
It don't matter if we lived in a shack
Or in a shiny cadillac
It don't matter rich or poor
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you...

Hey Louie, life is sweet
I can't be bitter
When you're here with me
Hey Louie, no regrets
Holding on to things
That you ought to forget
Well, it doesn't matter tit for tat
'Cause what you give
You get it back
It don't matter anymore
When love is knocking at your door

It feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas with you,
Everytime I see ya
Everytime I hear ya
Everytime I'm near ya,
I'd be happy
Because it feels like Christmas
Just like Christmas
It feels like Christmas
With you...

letra de Three Ships
Chorus:
I saw three ships come sailing in
On christmas day, on christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On christmas day in the morning

And what was on those ships all three
On christmas day, on christmas day
A little boy and our lady
On christmas day in the morning

Oh they sailed to bethlehem
On christmas day, on christmas day
Oh they sailed to bethlehem
On christmas day in the morning

Then let us all rejoice and sing
On christmas day, on christmas day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On christmas day in the morning

Chorus:
I saw three ships come sailing in
On christmas day, on christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On christmas day in the morning

letra de December Child
Chorus:
Close your eyes december child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round

Snuggle up and let me hold kiss
Your baby breath in the dark and cold
On a silent night long ago
Another mother held her babe and told him

Chorus:
Close your eyes december child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round

They had come such a long long way
Rest your little head on me and i'll tell you of
A little king and his bed of hay
It is remembered every christmas day

Little one, little son
All my life i've wished you welcome

Chorus:
Close your eyes december child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
In The Bleak MidwinterVer letra

[X]
letra de In The Bleak Midwinter
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

Angels and arc-angels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But only his mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss

What can I give him
Poor as I am
If I were a sheperd
I would give a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
But what I can I give him
Give him my heart

letra de Silent Night
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Heavenly hosts from heaven above
Guardian angels sing Alleluia
Christ our saviour is born
Christ our saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
