[English]

So this is Christmas

And what have you done?

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear ones

The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The war is so long

And so happy Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)

And what have we done? (If you want it)

Another year over (war is over)

And a new one just begun (now)

And so happy Christmas (war is over)

We hope you have fun (if you want it)

The near and the dear ones (war is over)

The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas

And a Happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)

And what have we done? (If you want it)

Another year over (war is over)

And a new one just begun (now)
