"A Different Christmas" - Christmas 2020 Song in Galego

Wendy Werneth

Pilgrim
Time of past OR future Camino
2020
I'm sharing this cheesy but uplifting Christmas song in the hopes that it will bring some cheer to those who aren't able to celebrate with their loved ones this year.

It's in galego, but the lyrics are pretty easy to follow. Here they are written out, with the English translation below. Galegofalantes, please correct any mistakes I've made, as I'm still learning galego. Bo Nadal!




#CanciónNadal2020

Un Nadal Distinto

Performed by Kiko Bea

Un Nadal distinto imos celebrar

Sen apertas porque moitos non están

Sabendo que este ano pasará



Nadal é ese sentimento

Que non podemos nunca esquecer

Tamén un bico na distancia

Quizais a maxia di poderte ver



Pero Nadal non é Nadal se non estás

Ainda estando lonxe sei que estás aquí

No meu corazón



Un Nadal distinto imos celebrar

Sen apertas porque moitos non están

Sabendo que este ano pasará



Un Nadal distinto imos celebrar

Con agarimo porque outros voltarán

Soñando que outro ano chegará



Xa é Nadal, xa estamos preparados

A ilusión e a maxia xa nos contaxiou

Desexos para un ano novo

Brindemos para que sexa mellor



Pero Nadal non é Nadal se non estás

Ainda estando lonxe sei que estás aquí

No meu corazón



Un Nadal distinto imos celebrar

Sen apertas porque moitos non están

Sabendo que este ano pasará



Un Nadal distinto imos celebrar

Con agarimo porque outros voltarán

Soñando que outro ano chegará


English Translation:

Let’s celebrate a different kind of Christmas

Without hugs because many aren’t here

Knowing that this year will pass



Christmas is that feeling

That we can never forget

Also a kiss from a distance

Maybe the magic of being able to see you



But Christmas isn’t Christmas if you’re not here

Even being far away, I know you’re here

In my heart



Let’s celebrate a different kind of Christmas

Without hugs because many aren’t here

Knowing that this year will pass



Let’s celebrate a different kind of Christmas

With tenderness, because others will return

Dreaming that another year will come



It’s already Christmas, we’re already prepared

Illusion and magic have already infected us

Wishes for a new year

Let’s toast to it being a better one



But Christmas isn’t Christmas if you’re not here

Even being far away, I know you’re here

In my heart



Let’s celebrate a different kind of Christmas

Without hugs because many aren’t here

Knowing that this year will pass



Let’s celebrate a different kind of Christmas

With tenderness, because others will return

Dreaming that another year will come

Eu son Galego falante.
The translation is perfect.
My only comment is the word "agarimo" that I would translate as affection.
Agarimo is not used in common language. People use much more"cariño" that is Spanish but also Galego.
Enjoy your learning.
Bo Nadal !.
Grazas!

That's interesting about "agarimo". I feel like I've come across it many times while reading the Dragal series of young adult fantasy novels. Perhaps it's used more in the written language than when speaking?

Just the thing to cheer up a pretty dreich day here in Edinburgh. A wee dance around the kitchen is recommended.
PS dreich means grey wet and dreary in Scots. A word we use quite a lot 🤓!
