New Year's carols (Kalanta)

Today, with Thomas, i will learn the New Year's kalanta! Like in Christmas, kids go out and sing from door to door on New Year's Eve, usually in the morning hours.

The New Year's Kalanta say:
First of the month and first day of the year, my tall christmas tree
And the beginning of the new year
Church with the holy throne.
In the beginning, when Christ appeared as a holy saint
to walk upon the earth and to welcome us with his heart.
 

Santa Claus is coming-land lords do you realise that-
From Caeserea
You are the land lady of this house
He is holding a picture and a paper, a shaped piece of rock (candy)
a paper and a quill
Look at me, a young man
 

The quill wrote, he was writing about his fate and the paper speaks for its self Saint Vasilis (Father Christmas)
