Tekst kolędy "Silent Night" - "Cicha nos"
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;
glories stream from Heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia,
Christ, the Saviour, is born! Christ, the Saviour, is born!
Silent night! Holy night! Son of God, Love's pure light
radiant beams from Thy Holy face,
with the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

Tekst piosenki "Jingle Bells" - „Dzwonią dzwonki”
Dashing through the snow, In a one-horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go, Laughing all the way
Bells on bobtails ring, Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing, A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride, in a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright, Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank, And then we got upsot
Jingle bells, jingle bells...
A day or two ago, The story I must tell
I went out on the snow, And on my back I fell
A gent was riding by, In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away
Jingle bells, jingle bells...
Now the ground is white, Go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight, And sing this sleighing song
Just get a bobtailed bay, Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack, you'll take the lead
