歌词
Some time ago, at Santa's place
不久前，在古老的北极
Up in the old North Pole
圣诞老人家里
There lived a lump of anthracite
生活着一块无烟煤
Whose parents called him Joel
他的父母给他起名叫Joel
Joel，Joel，小煤块块
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
是最快乐的小块块
Happy as a lump can be
他的愿望只是让圣诞老人
He just wants to keep Santa warm
和小精灵们感到温暖和舒适
And make the elves cozy
但是圣诞老人给他做了其它安排
决定Joel命运的一天来了
But Santa Claus had other plans
“Joel，你是我相中的小块块
For Joel one fateful day
快到我的雪橇上来跟我走”
"Joel, you're just the lump I need
Joel，Joel，小煤块块
Come join me on my sleigh"
惊喜得心跳加速
“我很快就能作为圣诞老人的礼物
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
送给一个幸运的孩子
Heart leapt up with joy
我们会一起玩耍一起欢笑
"I'll soon be Santa's present to
一起紧紧拥抱
A lucky girl or boy
晚上在干净的被窝里相互依偎
然后一起进入梦想”
We'll laugh and play together
可圣诞老人的精灵都在笑Joel
And hold each other tight
“你是用来出人意料的
Snuggle under clean white sheets
你才不是什么特别的圣诞礼物
When we go to sleep at night"
你不过是个末等奖
哪有小孩会想要你呀？
Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel
你脏得不能更脏了
"You're in for a surprise
现在你得去
You're not a special Christmas gift
和熊孩子一起生活”
You're just a booby prize
”但我可以发热，“可怜的Joel叫道
“还可以发电”
What kid would ever want you?
“可你污染了空气
You're filthy as can be
你产生了CO2和毒物”
Now you have to go and live
Joel，Joel，小煤块块
With one who's been naughty"
跪倒在地上
“我不想和熊孩子一起生活
"But I make heat," poor Joel cried
不要这样逼我，求你了，圣诞老人“
"And electricity"
但圣诞老人哈哈大笑
"You pollute the air
”嚯，嚯，你个小傻块块
With CO2 and mercury"
你不过是件工具，用来让那小兔崽子知道
我圣诞老人不是傻瓜”
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
然后他们起飞了，Joel还没来得及反应
Fell down upon his knees
就已经被装在了袋子里
"I don't wanna live with a naughty kid
他他声嘶力竭地哀求圣诞老人
Don't make me, Santa, please"
“我们回去好不好？”
到了圣诞节早上
But Santa laughed his jolly laugh
出乎Joel意外的是（出乎Joel意外的是）
"Ho, ho, you stupid lump
他看到一个表情悲伤的男孩
You're just the thing to teach this brat
男孩含着泪光（男孩含着泪光）
That Santa ain't no chump"
他捡起Joel并托着他
说道“你可以当我的朋友（嗨哥们，我们做朋友吧）
So off they flew and, before he knew
我也想要一份像样的礼物
Joel was in a sack
但圣诞老人把你送给了我（是圣诞老人的选择）
He cried and yelled to Santa Claus
的确，我之前都是个熊孩子
"Why don't we just go back?"
可能这是一种罪过（可能这是一种罪过）
圣诞老人是这样对待孩子们的
And then came Christmas morning
但我庆幸我不会像他那这样“
And, much to Joel's surprise (Much to Joel's surprise)
Joel，Joel，小煤块块
He saw a boy with the saddest face
知道了自己的使命
And tears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes)
他说”现在我明白
为什么我被会送到你的身边
He picked Joel up and held him
因为当一个人心中受伤
And said "You can be my friend (Hey man, let's be friends)
痛苦会让他会变得残忍无情
I would've liked some presents but
但我知道如何让你的痛苦
You're what Santa chose to send (Santa chose to send)
变成珍贵的宝物
把我握在手中吧，年轻人
It's true, I've been a naughty boy
用你所有的力气挤压我
And maybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin)
让我们将你的痛苦和愤怒
If this is how Santa treats the kids
转化成闪闪发光的东西”
I'm just glad that I'm not him"
然后Joel，Joel，小煤块块
奉献了自己的生命
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
让一个熊熊的但是善良的小男孩
Knew what he must do
在圣诞节那天得到了一块钻石
He said "Now I know the reason why
I got sent to you
Cause when a person hurts inside
It turns him hard and cruel
But I know how to make your pain
Into a precious jewel
So take me in your hand, young man
And squeeze with all your might
Let's turn your pain and anger
Into something that shines bright"
Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
He gave his life away
So that one good naughty little boy
Had a diamond on Christmas day
