Koldt Udenfor [English translation]

[Verse 1]

You hit me with your arrow during Christmas

You're doing a good job wearing your Santa hat and you know it

If you don't have plans with anyone, then let's start a new tradition

It only requires us to be two

[Pre-chorus]

Always got luck in games and luck in pakkeleg1

But what I really want is winning you

[Chorus]

Baby, it's cold outside

I'll make it rain presents over you non-stop

Handing over the almond2 under the table

Then you know I've scored

Baby, it's cold, not cold for us

Let's stick together like Lego bricks

Come, baby, drop your sweater

And just scoot a bit closer

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

[Verse 1]

We've got one another and a mistletoe

You promised that it wouldn't be too late and I know that

But the weather is too bad, you don't need to hurry up and get home

If they want to talk, we'll let them

[Pre-chorus]

Always got luck in games and luck in pakkeleg

But what I really want is winning you

[Chorus]

Baby, it's cold outside

I'll make it rain presents over you non-stop

Handing over the almond under the table

Then you know I've scored

Baby, it's cold, not cold for us

Let's stick together like Lego bricks

Come, baby, drop your sweater

And just scoot a bit closer

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

[Bridge]

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

[Chorus]

Baby, it's cold outside

I'll make it rain presents over you non-stop

Handing over the almond under the table

Then you know I've scored

Baby, it's cold, not cold for us

Let's stick together like Lego bricks

Come, baby, drop your sweater

And just scoot a bit closer

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

Na, na, na, na, na, na-na-na-na-na

It's cold outside

1. Pakkeleg, literally 'package game', is a Christmas game in Denmark. This explanation taken from the "Expat in Denmark" Facebook page: "Each player brings a small gift and all gifts are placed in the middle of the table. 1st round: Players take turns in rolling the dice and when you roll a 6, you choose a gift until all gifts have been taken. 2nd round: The game continues the same way, but now you steal gifts from the other players, when you roll a 6, though only for a limited amount of time, which has been set beforehand. Everybody then gets to open their gifts. It is important to mention every family has its own special set of rules."2. On Christmas Eve, it's traditional to eat risalamand, a Danish desert which is basically rice pussing with chopped almonds, but on Christmas Eve, there's one whole almond, and whoever finds it gets a gift. A part of the game is trying to hide the fact that you got the almond so that others will keep on eating, trying to find it.
