Rudolf to elafaki – Kaiti Garbi

Posted on 26. Dec, 2009 in Greek Songs

Kaiti Garbi sings a song called Rudolf to elafaki, one of the most known Christmas song also known as Rudolf the Reindeer, or Rudolf the red nose reindeer.

Rudolf to elafaki is probably one of the most tender and touching songs because it reminds us of our childhood in one of the best and most pleasant ways. Rudolf to elafaki is a cute song about the little reindeer with the shiny nose that stands out from the flock, chosen by Santa Claus to be the guide in his Christmas adventures. Although in Greece Santa comes in New Year, we can still appreciate the whole idea of gifts and of course the little cute Reindeer who has become a protagonist in Christmas days.

Rudolf to elafaki – Kaiti Garbi – English Lyrics

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history!

Rudolf to elafaki – Kaiti Garbi – Greek Lyrics

Ρούντολφ το ελαφάκι – Καίτη Γαρμπή – Ελληνικοι Στιχοι

Ρούντολφ το ελαφάκι
με καρδούλα ταπεινή..
σαν πέφτει το βραδάκι
έχει μύτη φωτεινή.

Οι φίλοι του λαμπιόνι
τον φωνάζουν και γελούν
τη μύτη του στο χιόνι
κρύβει, όταν του μιλούν.

Όμως μια πρωτοχρονιά
είπε ο ʼϊ-Βασίλης…
“Ρούντολφ, είσαι εσύ σοφός
έχεις μέσα σου το φως”.

Τα ελάφια στο κοπάδι
χαμηλώσανε τ’αυτιά
τώρα απαλή σαν χαδι
είναι όλων η ματιά.

Από τότε και κάθε καινούρια χρονιά
του έλκηθρου πρώτος τραβά τα σκοινιά…
Ο Ρούντολφ οδηγεί
τον ʼϊ-Βασίλη στη γη!
