Mistletoe and Wine – Michalis Hatzigiannis

Posted on 20. Dec, 2009 in Greek Songs

Michalis Hatzigiannis sings Mistletoe and Wine, a Christmas song which is also known in Greece with the title Hristougenna ( which means Christmas).

As all major singers in Greece, Michalis also started singing songs for the holy days of Christmas and this one stands out due to the English Lyrics. It is a song for the days of Christmas with mistletoe and wines, children singing Carols and holy songs, gifts and families sitting by the fire. It is a nice and warm Christmas song for the times we rejoice in the good we see around us, in the times we wish to spend with our beloved ones. Christmas is anyway the time of year we usually spend with the people we cherish the most and this song reminds us of that.

It is a lovely Christmas song and Michalis’ voice makes it even nicer and warmer..

Music and Lyrics: Cliff Richard

Mistletoe and Wine – Michalis Hatzigiannis – English Lyrics

The child is a king, the carolers sing
The old has passed, there’s a new beginning
Dreams of Santa, dreams of snow
Fingers numb, faces aglow

It’s Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see

It’s a time for giving, a time for getting
A time for forgiving and for forgetting
Christmas is love, Christmas is peace
A time for hating and fighting to cease

It’s Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
Children singing Christian rhyme
With logs on the fire and gifts on the tree
A time to rejoice in the good that we see
