O thou merry
1. O thou merry, O thou blessed,
grace-bringing Christmas season!
World was lost, Christ was born:
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christendom!
2 O merry, O blessed,
grace-filled Christmas season!
Christ has appeared to atone for us:
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christendom!
3 O merry, O blessed,
mercy-bringing Christmas time!
Heavenly armies shout glory to you:
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christendom!
Last Christmas
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you, " I meant it
Now, I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(Oh, oh my baby)
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you, and your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now, I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special
Leise rieselt der Schnee
1. Leise rieselt der Schnee
Still starr ruht der See
Weihnachtlich glänzet der Wald
Freue dich! 's Christ Child is coming soon!
2. hearts are warm;
sorrow and harm are silent.
life's worries fade away;
rejoice! 's Christ Child is coming soon!
3. soon is holy night,
choir of angels awakes;
listen how sweetly it resounds,
rejoice, 's Christ child is coming soon!
Every year again
1. every year again
Comes the Christ child
Down to earth
Where we humans are.
2. enter every house with his blessing
Go in and out with us on all paths
.
3. also stands by my side
Silently and unrecognized,
That it may guide me faithfully
By the dear hand.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later, we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feelin' when you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly"
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily in the new old-fashioned way
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing "Let's be jolly"
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily in the new old-fashioned way
O Christmas tree
1. O fir tree, O fir tree,
how green are your leaves!
You are green not only in summer
no, also in winter when it snows
O fir tree, O fir tree,
how green are your leaves!
2. o fir tree, o fir tree,
you can please me very much!
How often has a tree of yours not delighted me at Christmas time
!
o fir tree, o fir tree,
you can please me very much!
3. o fir tree, o fir tree,
your dress will teach me something:
Hope and constancy
gives comfort and strength at all times,
o fir tree, o fir tree,
your dress will teach me something.
Frosty the snowman
Frosty the snowman
Is a jolly fellow
His eyes are coal-black
And his nose is carrot-bright
Frosty the snowman
With potato buttons
He's more than just a snowman
He's a friend to everyone
Maybe it was the top hat
It was already in the cellar
They barely put Frosty on
He dances all day long
Yes, Frosty the snowman
He wants to have fun for as long as he can
So he rents and hips and whistles a song
And we all sing along!
Coda
Dumpedi dum-dum, Dumpedi dum-dum
Sing the Frosty song
Dumpedi dum-dum, dumpedi Dum-dum
That's just sweet!
Let's be happy and cheerful
1. let us be happy and cheerful
and rejoice from the bottom of our hearts!
Merry, merry, tralalalala!
Soon it will be St. Nicholas' Eve,
soon it will be St. Nicholas' Eve!
2. then I'll put the plate up,
St. Nicholas will certainly put something on it.
Funny, funny, tralalalala!
Soon it will be St. Nicholas' Eve,
soon it will be St. Nicholas' Eve!
3. when I sleep, I dream:
Now St. Nicholas is bringing something for me.
Funny, funny, tralalalala!
Soon it will be St. Nicholas' Eve,
soon it will be St. Nicholas' Eve!
Snowman
Don't cry, snowman, not in front of me
Who'll catch your tears if you can't catch me, darling?
If you can't catch me, darling
Don't cry, snowman, don't leave me this way
A puddle of water can't hold me close, baby
Can't hold me close, baby
I want you to know that I'm never leaving
'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing, yeah
You are my home, my home for all seasons
So come on, let's go
Let's go below zero, and hide from the sun
I'll love you forever, where we'll have some fun
Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily
Please, don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby
My snowman and me, eh
My snowman and me
Baby
Don't cry, snowman, don't you fear the sun
Who'll carry me without legs to run, honey?
Without legs to run, honey
Don't cry, snowman, don't you shed a tear
Who'll hear my secrets if you don't have ears, baby?
If you don't have ears, baby
I want you to know that I'm never leaving
'Cause I'm Mrs. Snow, 'til death we'll be freezing, yeah
You are my home, my home for all seasons
So come on, let's go
Let's go below zero, and hide from the sun
I'll love you forever, where we'll have some fun
Yes, let's hit the North Pole and live happily
Please, don't cry no tears now, it's Christmas, baby
My snowman and me, eh
My snowman and me
Baby
White Christmas
1. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
2. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
In der Weihnachtsbäckerei
Refrain
In der Weihnachtsbäckerei
Gibt es manche Leckerei
Zwischen Mehl und Milch
Macht so mancher Knilch
Eine riesengroße Kleckerei
In der Weihnachtsbäckerei
In der Weihnachtsbäckerei
- Where has the recipe gone
Of the cookies we love?
Who's stolen the recipe
?
Well, we'll have to grab it then
Just bake it as you go
Fire up the oven (oh yes!)
And get to it!
Refrain
In the Christmas bakery
There are many delicacies
Between flour and milk
Some people make such a mess
A huge mess
In the Christmas bakery
In the Christmas bakery
2. don't we need chocolate
Honey, nuts and succade
And a little cinnamon?
That's right!
Mix butter, flour and milk
Try it once in between
And then comes the egg (watch out)
Gone
Refrain
In the Christmas bakery
There are many delicacies
Between flour and milk
Some people make such a mess
A huge mess
In the Christmas bakery
In the Christmas bakery
3. please step aside
Because we need space to knead
Are your fingers clean?
You bastard!
Are the cookies we're making
First on the oven trays
Let's wait in anticipation
... Burnt!
Refrain
In the Christmas bakery
There are many delicacies
Between flour and milk
Some people make such a mess
A huge mess
In the Christmas bakery
In the Christmas bakery
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer,
Had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw it,
You would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer,
Used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph,
Play in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve,
Santa came to say,
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee,
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
You'll go down in history!"
At the Christmas tree
1. the lights are burning on the Christmas tree, how it shines festively, sweetly and mildly, as if it were saying: "Want to recognize in me faithful hope's silent image!"
2. the children stand with bright looks, the eye laughs, the heart laughs, O happy blissful delight!The old people look heavenward.
3. two angels have entered, no eye has seen them come, they go to the Christmas table and pray, and turn again and go.
Süsser die Glocken nie klingen
1. Sweeter the bells never ring
than at Christmas time.
It is as if angels are singing
again of peace and joy.
As they sang in blessed night
As they sang in blessed night
Bells with holy sound,
ring along the earth!
2 O when the bells ring,
quickly the Christ Child hears them.
Then swing from heaven,
hurry down to earth.
Bless the father, the mother, the child
Bless the father, the mother, the child
Bells with holy sound,
ring along the earth!
3. ring with sweet sound
over the seas still far,
that all
may rejoice in the blessed Christmas season.
All rejoice with one song!
All rejoice with one song!
Bells with holy sound,
ring along the earth!
Feliz Navidad

I wanna wish you a merry Christmas

From the bottom of my heart

I wanna wish you a merry Christmas
From the bottom of my heart
Silent night, holy night
1. Silent night! Holy night!
All′s asleep, one sole light,
Just the faithful and holy pair,
Lovely boy-child with curly hair,
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Sleep in heavenly peace!
2. Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor
Sólo velan en la oscuridad
Los pastores que en el campo están;
Y la estrella de paz
Y la estrella de paz
3. silent night! Holy night!
Everything sleeps, lonely wakes
only the dear and holy couple.
"Holder boy in curly hair,
sleep in heavenly peace,
sleep in heavenly peace!"
