Mitten in der Nacht English translation
von Rolf Zuckowski

In the middle of the night, a child was born
Suddenly, heaven was not far away
An angel choir sang: "The world is not lost"
And above all, the Christmas star shone brightly

A new light was given to you and me
That can always warm our hearts anew
And when it becomes dark for us in this life
It begins to shine with all its might


Are you grown up or still small?
That shouldn’t matter at all tonight
Aren’t we all human children
No matter when we are born?

Are you a boy or a man?
Wasn't every woman also a girl at some point?
What holds us together forever
So many people in the world feel that now

In the middle of the night, a child was born
Suddenly, heaven was not far away
An angel choir sang: "The world is not lost"
And above all, the Christmas star shone brightly


A new light was given to you and me
That can always warm our hearts anew
And when it becomes dark for us in this life
It begins to shine with all its might
