Samichlaus English translation
von Stubete Gäng

Sami Niggi Näggi - do you hear the beat
Sami Niggi Näggi - it’s time
Sami Niggi Näggi - everyone is here
Sami Niggi Näggi - now you can come

Samichlaus, what’s in your sack?
A fat beat and a double bass

Samichlaus, what did you bring along?
The whole gang with the accordion

Samichlaus, what do you bring with you?
One, two spoons, and a new hit

Samichlaus, what are you doing tonight?
Lifting the sleigh, because now it’s on

Look, something’s happening
The Chlaus is downstairs
Everyone gets their turn
Even you, just wait

The red-and-white-dressed super-styler
Distributor of nuts, cookies, and chocolate


The beard is white
It’s party time
Kids are waiting outside
For the hard beats

This is something different, this is something new
And the whole of Switzerland is shouting: Make some Chlöis!

With the golden book that knows everything
From the smallest secret to the biggest

So don’t overdo it
Stay nice and well-behaved
Who stomps through the snow
And knocks on the windows

Samichlaus, what’s in your sack?
A fat beat and a double bass

Samichlaus, what did you bring along?
The whole gang with the accordion

Samichlaus, what do you bring with you?
One, two spoons, and a new hit

Samichlaus, what are you doing tonight?
Lifting the sleigh, because now it’s on

Ring-a-ling-a-ling, he’s doing his thing
Applause for the Chlaus with the bling-bling


From house to house
Tell me, who’s the boss
He’s on the donkey, and we’re in the sleigh

Standing at the back
One by one
There was something for everyone

Everyone at home looks out the window
3, 2, 1, here comes the master

He’s got Schmutzli with him
His backup MC
In his Griti-sleigh
On the way there

So don’t overdo it
Stay nice and well-behaved
Who stomps through the snow
And knocks on the windows

Samichlaus, what’s in your sack?
A fat beat and a double bass

Samichlaus, what did you bring along?
The whole gang with the accordion

Samichlaus, what do you bring with you?
One, two spoons, and a new hit
