ELLEGARDEN - Santa Claus (サンタクロース) - [English Version] Lyrics 

What exactly is different in the original? My Japanese is bad so I only understand that Santa visits the girl, gives her all the presents (he feels sorry for the children in the first verse) and then in the final chorus he gives her a kiss as a final present before going back to his "cold place".

@@m.g.2301 I didnt speak Japanese myself. just looking at various translation. for example the first verse that you said goes in full like this: "Sorry if I wake you up, actually let me stay until the ice melts" - this means the Santa in his last job would like to talk to the children from midnight till dawn. the reff is pretty similar to the English version where he's santa and giving thousands of presents once a year although its a cheap ones. second verse is quite straight forward "I made a wish that our adventure keeps going on in the glass ball". even though he's quitting he hopes the glass ball will immortalize his adventure. then there is the English part where "you're all that matters to me" its sounds like a farewell words to the kids. then in the final reff instead of "I give you thousand of present" as you already know he said "this is my last present, then I've got to go to the place Im living in, living in a cold place" its more heart felt compared to the English version here that is plainly explaining what Santa Claus does.
