Translation

 

Kicking the snow
In a light sleigh
Down the hills and
Over the fields we go
Singing
Out loud
Spirits are high
When Riding the sleigh

The bells are ringing
Oh what fun it is
To ride the sleigh

The bells are ringing
Now let's go

Translator's notes:
Those lyrics are mostly translated from the English version of the song with a few differences. The order of words are a also bit different because of Japanese grammar so I couldn't really translate line for line nicely.

"The one-horse open sleigh" is the English lyric. In this song it's translated as "Light sleigh"
Jingle all the way! is actually "The bells are ringing" in Japanese but that's where they would have got this line. You can decide what to put it as.

There seems to be many different versions of Japanese translations for jingle bells. As you'd expect translating something into one language and then back again obviously loses accuracy (try using google translate lol) so yeah.... Although it's based off the original english "Jingle Bells" some words off there wouldn't exist in Japanese so would have been simpled down or changed a bit.
