G A M E: Name That Tune (2)

Question

For this game, I will post song lyrics that have been translated from one language to another. The winner will repost the lyrics (only the portion I have posted is necessary) in their original language, plus the name of the song and the artist!

Today's lyrics are:

Está llegando la Navidad

Ellos son la tala de árboles

Están poniendo a los renos

Y cantando canciones de alegría y paz

In order to make this a little more challenging, I've used Google Translate. Honestly, sometimes the translations are hilarious, and posting a really great translation makes it too easy to simply search for the lyrics on Google!

Can you name that tune? Good luck!

Great idea :) You may need a moderatot for this game please check with Marianne, Eddy or one of the other admin staff - FELIZ77, Dec 23, 2010

Answer 1

I Wish I Had a River - Joni Mitchell

It's coming on Christmas

They're cutting down trees

They're putting on reindeer

And singing songs of joy and peace.

Very close, but not quite! - mapletw, Dec 22, 2010

Putting "up" reindeer? - 192flat, Dec 22, 2010

That's one of the errors! One more and you're all set! :D - mapletw, Dec 22, 2010

coming "near" Christmas? - 192flat, Dec 22, 2010

It's not the lyrics that have an error anymore. :) - mapletw, Dec 22, 2010
