Weihnachtszeit English translation
von Rolf Zuckowski

Angel choir and children's cheers
Every year again
Santa Claus in the shopping hustle
And the old songs

Donation accounts, aid campaigns
Time of open hearts
Wishes, dreams, illusions
And millions of candles

Christmas time, Christmas time
Get ready for the celebration
One and two and three and four
Then it's at your door

Christmas time, Christmas time
Get ready for the celebration
If the fifth light is burning
Then you've overslept it


Everywhere secretive people
Every year again
Good-humored entrepreneurs
And the old songs

Christmas packages, Christmas cards
Time of open hearts
Many who wait in vain
And millions of candles

Christmas time, Christmas time
Get ready for the celebration
One and two and three and four
Then it's at your door

Christmas time, Christmas time
Get ready for the celebration
If the fifth light is burning
Then you've overslept it

Searching for Christmas ornaments in the basement
Every year again
White Christmas? Wishful thinking
And the old songs


Dark night and bright stars
Time of open hearts
Hope for peace in the distance
And millions of candles

Christmas time, Christmas time
Get ready for the celebration
One and two and three and four
Then it's at your door

Christmas time, Christmas time
Get ready for the celebration
If the fifth light is burning
Then you've overslept it
Overslept it
