    Orana Orana (The Carol Of The Birds) its an australian one!

    Out on the plains the brolgas are dancing
    Lifting their feet like war horses prancing
    Up to the sun the woodlarks go winging
    Faint in the dawn light echoes their singing
    Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day

    Down where the tree ferns grow by the river
    There where the waters sparkle and quiver
    Deep in the gullies bell-birds are chiming
    Softly and sweetly their lyric notes rhyming
    Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day

    Friar birds sip the nectar of flowers
    Currawongs chant in the wattle tree bowers
    In the blue ranges lorikeets calling
    Carols of bushbirds rising and falling
    Orana! Orana! Orana to Christmas Day
    I forgot about this one!!! It's a good one too!!

    Australian Christmas Carol

    The North Wind is tossing the leaves,
    The red dust is over the town,
    The sparrows are under the eaves,
    And the grass in the paddock is brown;
    As we lift up our voices and sing
    To the Christ-Child the Heavenly King.
    The tree-ferns in green gullies sway;
    The cool stream flows silently by;
    The joy bells are greeting the day,
    And the chimes are adrift in the sky,
    As we lift up our voices and sing
    To the Christ-Child the Heavenly King.
