Lirik lagu Queen "Thank God It's Christmas"

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Penabuh drum grup rock asal Inggris Raya Queen Roger Taylor menulis lirik "Thank God It's Christmas" pada 1984 bersama gitaris utama band itu Brian May.

Meskipun nama Queen sangat besar pada masa itu, "Thank God It's Christmas" tidak populer karena tidak punya video klip serta dirilis berbarengan dengan single amal Band Aid, kumpulan musisi papan atas Inggris Raya antara lain Bob Geldof, Bono U2, Sting dan Phil Collins, berjudul "Do They Know It's Christmas?".

Kendati demikian, lagu itu menempati tangga lagu Inggris selama enam minggu pada periode natal dan Tahun Baru 1984/1985.

Baru pada 2019 Queen merilis video klip untuk "Thank God It's Christmas", yang memberikan perasaan berbeda bagi para personel Queen dibanding ketika pertama kali lagu itu muncul.

Roger Taylor mengenang Natal adalah masa-masa penuh tekanan bagi mereka, bercampur dengan kenangan kegembiraan perayaan Natal ketika mereka masih kanak-kanak dan kini sebagai orang tua.

Lirik lagu Queen "Thank God It's Christmas"

Oh, my love, we've had our share of tears

Oh, my friends, we've had our hopes and fears

Oh, my friends, it's been a long hard year

But now it's Christmas

Yes, it's Christmas

Thank God it's Christmas

The moon and stars seem awful cold and bright

Let's hope the snow will make this Christmas right

My friend, the world will share this special night

Because it's Christmas

Yes, it's Christmas

Thank God it's Christmas

For one night

Thank God it's Christmas, yeah

Thank God it's Christmas

Thank God it's Christmas

Can it be Christmas?

Let it be Christmas

Every day

Oh, my love, we live in troubled days

Oh, my friend, we have the strangest ways

All my friends on this one day of days

Thank God it's Christmas

Yes, it's Christmas

Thank God it's Christmas

For one day

Thank God it's Christmas

Yes, it's Christmas

Thank God it's Christmas

Ooh, yeah

Thank God it's Christmas

Yes, yes, yes, yes it's Christmas

Thank God it's Christmas

For one day

A very merry Christmas to you all
