Kommt, wir wolln Laterne laufen English translation
von Rolf Zuckowski

Summer children catch sunbeams
And guard them like their greatest treasure
But when the days get shorter, it’s soon that time
Then they bring us light and warmth in the darkness

Come on, let's walk with lanterns
Light your candles
Come on, let's walk with lanterns
Children and women and men

Come on, let's walk with lanterns
This is our most beautiful time
Come on, let's walk with lanterns
Everyone is ready

Bright as the moon and stars
Shines the lantern
Far into the distance
Across the whole land


Everyone should hear us
Can feel free to complain
"These cheeky kids
This is quite something"

Come on, let's walk with lanterns
Today the TV stays off
Come on, let's walk with lanterns
No one stays at home

Come on, let's walk with lanterns
No, we’re not afraid of the night
Come on, let's walk with lanterns
That would be something to laugh about

Bright as the moon and stars
Shine the lanterns
Far into the distance
Across the whole land

Everyone should hear us
Can feel free to complain
"These cheeky kids
This is quite something" (quite something)


Come on, let's walk with lanterns
Until the last light fades
Come on, let's walk with lanterns
Sing along with us

Bright as the moon and stars
Shines the lantern
Far into the distance
Across the whole land

Everyone should hear us
Can feel free to complain
"These cheeky kids
This is quite something"

This is quite something (quite something)
