We may have no velvet mountains
We have no boughs of holy
On the doors, no mistletoe
No reindeer, no sleigh bells
Or yule logs for the burning
In the cold of Winter's night
But when it's Christmas in Cape Town
There's happiness and joy
And smiles upon the faces
The sun is shining brightly
On the mountains and the sea
It's Christmas in Cape Town
If you take a walk through Cape Town
Take a look at Table Mountain
See the table has been laid
In the night there is music
And friends that you will meet
And lights shining brightly
All the way down Adderley Street
Oh this is Christmas in Cape Town
There's happiness and joy
And smiles upon the faces
The sun is shining brightly
On the mountains and the sea
It's Christmas in Cape Town
And in many homes in Cape Town
Some are offering thanks and praises
To the Father and the Son
Around the Christmas trees
And of goodwill and of peace
Oh when it's Christmas in Cape Town
There's happiness and joy
And smiles upon the faces
The sun is shining brightly
On the mountains and the sea
It's Christmas in Cape Town
The sun is shining brightly
On the mountains and the sea
It's Christmas in Cape Town
EDITH AND DAYLIN SASS ft NEW APOSTOLIC YOUNG PEOPLE'S CHOIR
‘Christmas in Cape Town’ became a huge hit for the NAC Children’s choir some years back. This version finds a brand-new rendition by the NAC Young People’s Choir – with a distinctly African beat – the wonderful ‘Jerusalema’ dance-beat beat from Limpopo, South Africa!
