Lyrics - Hungarian
(Hungarian folk song)
Kis karácsony, nagy karácsony,
Kisült-e már a kalácsom?
Ha kisült már, ide véle,
Hadd egyem meg melegében.
Kis fenyőfa, nagy fenyőfa,
Kisült-e már a malacka?
Ha kisült már, ide véle,
Hadd egyem meg melegében.
Jaj, de szép a karácsonyfa
Ragyog rajta a sok gyertya.
Itt egy szép gömb, ott egy labda.
Jaj de szép a karácsonyfa!
Kis karácsony, nagy karácsony,
Van-e kolbász a padláson?
Ha nincs a kolbász a padláson,
Nem ér semmit a karácsony.
Kezem, lábam, jaj, de fázik,
Talpam alatt jég szikrázik.
Ha szikrázik, hadd szikrázzon,
Azért van ma szép karácsony!
Béke szálljon minden házra,
Kis családra, nagy családra!
Karácsonyfa fenyőága,
Hintsél békét a világra!
English Translation – Little Christmas Big Christmas
Little Christmas big Christmas,
Has my cake finished cooking?
If it is cooked, give it here
Let me eat it while it it’s hot.
Small pine tree, big pine tree,
Has the piglet finished cooking?
If it is cooked, give it here
Let me eat it while it it’s hot.
Oh, how beautiful is the Christmas tree
Lots of candles are shining on it.
Here’s a nice sphere, there’s a ball.
Oh, how nice is the Christmas tree!
Little Christmas big Christmas,
Is there any sausage in the attic?
If there is no sausage in the attic,
Christmas is worth nothing.
My hands, my feet, oh, they’re so cold,
Ice sparkles under my sole.
If it sparks, let it sparkle,
It’s the reason for the lovely Christmas.
Peace be upon every house,
Small family, big family!
Christmas tree fir branch,
Sprinkle peace in the world!

Oof, this translation is bad. Let me translate:
