Full lyrics to 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'

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

Mas de lo que podrias imaginar

Make my wish come true

All I Want for Christmas Is You

Sure, please provide the text you would like me to translate

I don't want a lot for Christmas

There is just one thing I need (and I)

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

I just want you for my own

Mas de lo que podrias imaginar

Make my wish come true

All I Want for Christmas Is You

You, baby

Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas

I won't even wish for snow (and I)

No voy a esperar mas debajo del muerdago

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

'Cause I just want you here tonight

Holding on to me so tight

What else can I do?

Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you

You, baby

Oh-oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere (so brightly, baby)

And the sound of children's laughter fills the air

Y todos estan cantando (oh, si)

I hear those sleigh bells ringing

Santa, won't you bring me the one I really need?

?No me traeras a mi bebe?

Oh, I don't want a lot for Christmas

Esto es todo lo que pido

I just wanna see my baby standing right outside my door

Oh, I just want you for my own

Mas de lo que podrias imaginar

Make my wish come true

Oh, baby, todo lo que quiero para Navidad eres tu

You, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas is you, baby

All I want for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby

All I want (I want) for Christmas (all I really want) is you, baby
