The older I get the more I think that Italy did a HUGE disservice to White Christmas (the song), both with the lyrics translation (which has zero connection to the original lyrics except for a vague 'it's about Christmas') and how it's being taught to sing - I remember that when I learned it in elementary school I thought it was so boring and sad! And it's not supposed to!
#my ponderings#christmas#christmas music#white christmas#at this point I only cringe when I hear an Italian translation of a Christmas song originally in English#with the exclusion of church carols because the lyrics are faithful and make sense#but if you translate 'Jingle Bells' to put a line about Baby Jesus bringing gifts to good children I AM going to hit you over the head
