“JINGLE BELL”
- by H. Britton

I
Chintun ankvar cheddeanchem, mojem kalliz dukovta
Kazar borem nhoi mhunnon te ankvaruch ravta
Devan ghoddla sacrament, tumi kiteak dubavta
Vorsanchim vorsam voklank ghevn ankvar bonvta

Chorus
Oh! Jingle bell, jingle bell, married life is well
Kazar zanvk kiteak pattim sortai re Gabriel
Oh! Jingle bell, jingle bell, vokol tuji Michelle
Veginch kazar za nam tor Michelle zait parcel

II
Kazarachi idad zatoch kazar zavnk zai
Zantte piraer bhurgi vokol sodunk bonvonakai
Doth subeij mevteli mhunnon pattim ravonakai
Kazar zainam mhunnon dusrea ponnang zata pai

Chorus
Oh! Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way
Husband-wife, married life, enjoy every day
Oh! Jingle bell, jingle bell, be happy and gay
Bailek ghevn dansak voch - Christmas, New Year day

III
Kazar borem nhoi mhunn tuka konn dita budi
Hum tumko bolta hai jaldi banao re shadi
Sontos bhogtolo vokol bottak ghaltoch mudi
Uprant melgor korun kha ghora voile dudi

Chorus
Oh! Jingle bell, jingle bell, listen my brother
Tum mhunttoloi ho khuimcho ailo Christmas Father
Oh! Jingle bell, jingle bell, Dev dita adhar
Kazar zavn vorsa bhitor bailek kor mother

Lyrics of one of H. Britton’s hit songs titled “Jingle Bell”
- it’s not the Christmas Carol but a comedy song set on its tune.
