[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 one

The old and the young

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Oh, I hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so, this is Christmas (War is over)

For weak and for strong (If you want it)

For rich and the poor ones (War is over)

This world is so wrong (Now)

And so happy Christmas (War is over)

For black and for white (If you want it)

For yellow and red ones (War is over)

Let's stop all the fight (Now)

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Oh, 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 one (War is over)

The old and the young (Now)

A very merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Oh, let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

War is over

If you want it

War is over

Now

Happy Christmas everybody
