All I Want for Christmas

December 21st, 2007


Olivia Olsen belts out a great holiday wish, from “Love, Actually.” I’ve been known to replay this scene from the DVD several times.

It’s not very nice Italian, but the English wasn’t very good English, either!

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want for Christmas is you

Non voglio tanto a Natale
C’è l’unica cosa che mi serve
Non m’importano i regali
Sotto l’albero di Natale.
Ti voglio per mi stessa.
Di più che quanto puoi immaginare.
Far’ reallizzare il mio desiderio, ooo,
Tutto che voglio a Natale sei tu.

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
Don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day

Non voglio tanto a Natale
C’è l’unica cosa che mi serve
Non m’importano I regali
Sotto l’albero do Natale.
Non mi serve dipendere le mie calze
Qua sul focolare.
Non mi fa felice San Niccolò
Con un giocattolo sul giorno do Natale.

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you

Ti proprio voglio per mi stessa
Di più che quanto che puoi conoscere.
Far’ realizzare il mio desiderio;
Tutto che voglio a Natale sei tu.

Ohh, Baby …

Oooo bébé …

I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow
I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

Non chiederò tanto questo Natale
Neanche chiederò che nevica
Starò aspettando in continuo
Sotto il mistletoe.

I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake
To hear those magic reindeer click

Non farò e metterò una lista
Al polo nord e San Niccolò
Non starò sveglia
Per ascoltare I cervi cliccano

‘Cuz I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do, baby
all I want for Christmas is you

Perchè proprio ti voglio qui stasera
Mi stringendo stretta
Che cosa può fare di più?
Tutto che voglio a Natale sei tu.

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children’s laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing

Tutti le luci splendono
Tanto brilliante dappertutto
Il rumore dei bambini ridendo ripiena l’aria
E tutti cantano.

I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won’t you bring me
The one I really need
Won’t you please bring my baby to me quickly

Sento che le campane suonano.
Babbo Natale non mi porta
Quello che proprio ho bisogno?
Non mi porta mio bébé velocemente?

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m asking for
I just wanna see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Non voglio tanto a Natale
É questo che sto chiedendo:
Voglio a vedere il mio amore
A piede proprio fuori la porta

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is you

Ti voglio per mi stesso
Di più che quanto puoi conoscere.
Far’ il mio desiderio davvero.
Bèbé, tutto che voglio a Natale sei tu.

Sei to, sei tu, sei tu-u-u-u.

    So lovely :)

    Thanks for reminding me of this. Going to have to put this one on repeat around here as well.

    I LOVE this film! I just watched it yet again the other night. Merry Christmas!

    I am thinking this is the feel good Christmas movie for more than just me. “It’s a Wonderful Life” depressed me with the venality of the people, “Miracle on 34th Street” never rang true to me — maybe I’m a cynic.

    I think it is the variety of love shown in “Love, Actually” and how it doesn’t always conquer all that I like. Plus it’s just darned funny at points.

    That said, as in all her other movies, when Emma Thompson is on the screen, everybody else fades.
