“Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” in Polish Posted by Kasia on Dec 23, 2020 in Culture, Uncategorized
Such an amazing Christmas song! I’m pretty sure that most of us know the words!
“Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town“ is a Christmas song, written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie. The earliest known recorded version of the song was by banjoist Harry Reser and his band on October 24, 1934. It was then sung on Eddie Cantor’s radio show in November 1934. This version became an instant hit with orders for 500,000 copies of sheet music and more than 30,000 records sold within 24 hours.
No wonder many countries try to translate it into their native language!
Here is a Polish version! You will notice that words are not translated exactly, but the translation is suppose to tell the story the best way possible in a Polish language.
Enjoy!
Oh, you better watch out,
you better not cry
You better not pout,
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Już grzeczny dziś bądź
I nie maż się już
Nie dąsaj się wciąż
I uwierz mi, że
Na saniach tu Mikołaj mknie
He’s making a list,
he’s checking it twice
He’s gonna find out
who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Prezentów ma wór
Rozdawać je chce
I dowie się w mig
Kto broił, kto nie.
Na saniach tu Mikołaj już mknie!
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Gdy smacznie śpisz, cię widzi.
Wie, kiedy budzisz się,
Czy słuchasz mamy też wie,
więc słuchaj chociaż mnie
Oh you better watch out,
you better not cry
You better not pout,
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Już grzeczny dziś bądź
I nie maż się już
Nie dąsaj się wciąż
I uwierz mi, że
Na saniach tu Mikołaj mknie
