The church bells are ringing
Announcing that the old year is leaving
The joy of the new year is coming
The hugs are ceaseless

Five minutes to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom
Five minutes to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom

That the year is going to end
It's going, it's going, it's going, it's going, it's gone

Forgive me for leaving the party
But there's something I can never leave (no, no, no, no)
A lovely old lady who waits for me
On the nights of an eternal Christmas

Five minutes to twelve, the year is going to end (oh, oh, yes)
I'm running home to hug my mom (the new year is coming)
Five minutes to twelve, the year is going to end (it's going to end)
I'm running home to hug my mom (I have to go)

The church bells are ringing
Announcing that the old year is leaving (it's leaving, it's already leaving)
The joy of the new year is coming
The hugs are ceaseless

Five minutes to twelve, the year is going to end (it's going, it's going to end)
I'm running home to hug my mom (the year is already gone)
Five minutes to twelve, the year is going to end
I'm running home to hug my mom (I'm leaving)
