Das etwas andere Weihnachtsgedicht
When the last Kalender-Sheets
flattern trough the Winterstreets
and Dezemberwind is blowing,
then ist everybody knowing
that it is not allzuweit:
she does come – The Weihnachtszeit
All the Menschen, Leute, People
flippen out of ihr warm Stüble,
run to Hofer, Douglas, Billa,
buying Ramsch and auch Tequila.
Kaufen these und jene things
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, schufts and bakes
the hit is now her Yoghurtkekses.
And the Opa says als Tester:
„We are killed bis to Silvester“.
Then he fills the last Glas wine
yes, this is the Christmastime!
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
– this happens in the Christmastime!
Baby-eyes are big and rund,
the familiy feels kerngesund
when unterm Weihnachtstree they’re hocking
then nothing can them jetzt noch shocking.
They are so happy, are so fine.
Well, this is really Weihnachtstime.
