English text
- 1.
- Sun gilded paddocks, air warm and dry,
- Sea sparkling endlessly under blue sky;
- Golden colours of summer,
- Golden colours of summer, Christmas draws neigh.
- 2.
- Snow-white the titree like Christmas bush here;
- Scarlet of bottle-bush brings honey-eaters near,
- With roselas as baubles,
- With roselas as baubles at this time of year.
- 3.
- The gilt and the tinsel reflect golden light,
- Feasts of fruit and flowers, for the season is right:
- Christ's birth brings us warmth,
- His birth brings us warmth full of Christmas cheer bright.
- 4.
- Christmas night, bright with stars, we walk through the bush,
- And the sea sparkles silver in the moon's holly hush:
- Now the whole world is silent,
- Now the whole world is silent after the rush.
