1st verse
Gahr fer Gahr it's open during Advent, get woken
up: "Come on, get up!" If
it is down in the stub, it doesn't stir from Flack, it
stands, it stands. But soon it's going to be fun: the Schwoden wag blows.

Refrain
If Raachermannel and it sat kaa word drzu,
and Raach climbs up on the deck,
be mr all too early.
Un shie quiet is in Stübel, the heavenly peace rises,
but in the Harz there is laughter and joy;
Yes, it's Christmas time.

2nd stanza
's hot zwaa stackendürre Baa un ann huhlen body,
carefully pulls the whistle ze thought pastime.
Hot a fei seemed to be Gackel a, of ne Kopp ann hat,
upper Maul un Nos was black, because it steams a lot.

3rd stanza
Kennt zen Almost the greetings from dr Fremd aham,
dr Klaane jumps out Fraad, ah, that's a laabn!
If the dam ring breaks, nam mr'n Raacherma,
stand in the middle of the table, light a candle a.

4th verse
Is dr Heilge Obnd nu ra, everybody be a child.
Lights were again lit in every house.
Everyone is hoping that Zen Heiling Christ will get aah e pack.
There is shine and splendor, and how good it smells!
