The translation of the Norwegian Christmas song "Det Er Jul"

Sung by Emma Gunnarsen, stagename "eMMa" and little sister of the Norwegian music duo Marcus & Martinus.

Somewhere online, on a post since removed, someone posted the translation, so I'll give credit to them.

The song title "Det Er Jul" translates to "It Is Christmas," according to the Norwegian -> English translation on Google Translate.

boothismanbooooo

I speak Swedish, not Norwegian, but they're similar enough that I can hopefully catch most of the song pretty accurately.

Alt står klart nå er det tid for å bake
Og jeg har pyntet masse pepperkaker
Etterpå så skal jeg ut og ake
Jeg gleder meg til jul åå
Jeg gleder meg til jul

Everything's ready, it's time for baking.
And I've decorated lots of gingerbread.
Later on, I'll go out shopping sledding.
I'm looking forward to/can't wait till Christmas!
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Christmas!

Snøen faller det er hvitt på bakken
Er så kaldt jeg må ta på meg jakken
For jeg går ut med juleskjerf i nakken
Jeg gleder meg til jul åå
Jeg gleder meg til jul

The snow is falling, it's white on the ground.
It's so cold out, I have to wear a jacket.
I'm going out with my Christmas scarf around my neck.
I'm looking forward to Christmas!
I'm looking forward to Christmas!

Juletiden, alle er så glade
Spise mat og åpne masse gaver
Pynte treet mens snøen bare laver

Christmastime, everyone's so happy.
Eat food and open lots of presents.
Decorate the tree while the snow is falling.

At lysene skinner ute og inne
Tar på julekjole, fri fra skole
Det er jul
Alle sammen er så glad, at det går ikke å skjule
Ja, nå er det jul
Nisseslede, går rundt treet
snøkrystaller, se de faller

The lights shine outside and inside.
Wear my Christmas dress, off from school.
It's Christmas!
Everyone's so happy, they just can't hide it.
Yeah, now it's Christmas.
Santa's sled goes round the tree.
Snowflakes, watch them fall.

Vi har hengt opp masse julekuler
Ute har vi bygget en snøhule
Vi skal bare gjøre masse jule-gøy
Jeg gleder meg til jul
Åå jeg gleder meg til jul

We have hung up lots of Christmas ornaments.
And outside, we've built a snow fort.
Let's all have a lot of Christmas fun.
I'm looking forward to Christmas.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Christmas.

Pynte hele huset gjør jeg gjerne
Men det viktigste er julestjerne
Å, det kribler i fra hodet til tærne
Jeg gleder meg til jul
Åå jeg gleder meg til jul

I like the whole house when it's decorated
But the most important is the Christmas star.
Oh, it/I tingle from my head to my toes.
I'm looking forward to Christmas.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to Christmas.


Some of the choruses repeat, but I think that's the whole song.

Ake means sledding, not shopping (first verse). "Pynte hele huset gjør jeg gjerne" is pretty close to what you wrote, but I'd argue it's more about the act of decorating rather than the house being decorated. Everything else seems very good.

Takk og god jul!
