"The Little Drummer Boy" adalah lagu Natal klasik yang diceritakan dari sudut pandang seorang anak kecil yang mengunjungi bayi Yesus dan ingin memberikan hadiah yang istimewa. Lagu tersebut menggambarkan perjalanan sang anak yang membawa serta sebuah gendang, satu-satunya milik berharga yang dia miliki. Dengan setiap ketukan genderangnya, dia mengungkapkan rasa hormat dan pengabdiannya kepada sang Raja yang baru lahir.
The Little Drummer Boy Lyrics
Charlotte Church
Come, they told me, parum pum pum pum,
A new born King to see, parum pum pum pum,
Our finest gifts we bring, parum pum pum pum,
To lay before the King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
So to honour Him, parum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Baby Jesus, parum pum pum pum,
I am a poor boy too , parum pum pum pum,
I have no gift to bring, parum pum pum pum,
That's fit to give our King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Shall I play for you, parum pum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded parum pum pum pum,
The Ox and Lamb kept time, parum pum pum pum,
I played my drum for Him, parum pum pum pum,
I played my best for Him, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Then He smiled at me, parum pum pum pum,
Me and my drum.
A new born King to see, parum pum pum pum,
Our finest gifts we bring, parum pum pum pum,
To lay before the King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
So to honour Him, parum pum pum pum,
When we come.
Baby Jesus, parum pum pum pum,
I am a poor boy too , parum pum pum pum,
I have no gift to bring, parum pum pum pum,
That's fit to give our King, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Shall I play for you, parum pum pum pum
On my drum?
Mary nodded parum pum pum pum,
The Ox and Lamb kept time, parum pum pum pum,
I played my drum for Him, parum pum pum pum,
I played my best for Him, parum pum pum pum,
Rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum.
Then He smiled at me, parum pum pum pum,
Me and my drum.
