Weihnachten
When the last Kalender sheets
flattern through the winter streets
and December wind is blowing
then is everybody knowing
that it is not allzuweit
she does come, the Winterzeit.
All the Menschen, Leute, people
flippen out of ihr warm Stüble
run to Kaufhof, Aldi, Mess
make Konsum and business.
Kaufen this and jenes Dings
and the Churchturmglocke rings.
Manche holen sich a Tännchen
when this brennt they cry "Attention!".
Rufen for the Feuerwehr:
"Please come quick to löschen her!".
Goes the Tännchen off in Rauch
They are standing on the Schlauch.
In the kitchen of the house
mother makes the Christmasschmaus.
She is working, schufting, bakes,
the hit is now her Joghurtkeks.
And the Opa says als Tester:
"We are killed bis zu Silvester!".
Then he fills the last glas wine
yes, this is the Christmastime.
Day by day goes so vergang,
and the Holy Night does come.
You can think, you can remember,
this is immer in December.
Then the childrenlein are coming,
candle-Wachs is abwärts running.
Bing of Crosby Christmas sings,
while the towerglocke rings.
And the angels look so fine,
well - this is the Christmastime.
Baby-eyes are big and rund,
the family feels kerngesund.
When unterm Weihnachtsbaum are hocking,
the nothing can them ever shocking!
They are so happy, are so fine,
this happens in the Christmastime.
The animals all in the house,
the hund, the katz, the bird, the mouse,
are turning round the Weihnachtstree
enjoy this day as never nie,
while they find Kittekat and Schappi
in the Geschenkkarton vom Papi.
The family begins to sing
and wieder goes a Glöckchen ring.
Zum Song vom grünen Tannenbaum
the Tränen rennen down and down
bis our mother plötzlich flennt:
"The Christmas-Gans im Ofen brennt!".
Her nose indeed is very fine,
End of the Weihnachtstime.
Ein sehr schöner und lesenswerter, weil teilweise auch 'lustiger' Bericht.
