What a Commotion Lyrics

What a tremendous crowding and commotion

It's cold, and one must keep warm

The lamp is lit at four o'clock already

It must be evening with a sleigh

In the middle of the street trees and fruit are sold

Look at the shop, how beautifully it shines!

You can get goods by the thousands

Just think of them: below the purchase price

Price, price, price, price, price, price

Just think of them: below the purchase price

Price, price, price, price, price

Just think of them: below the purchase price!

From the knowledge society one sees daily

That the poets are becoming more and more numerous

Even my little bird, frozen with lead

Is chirping along today, because it's Christmas

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Chirp along today, because it's Christmas

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Chirp along today, because it's Christmas

Beautifully decorated by an invisible hand

The tree now stands there with lights and ribbons

The door opens, and people stream in

The circle closes with excited minds

The children jump off briskly

Grandfather is also there

Let us join in their song

Brothers, we were children too once

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk

Brothers, we were children too once

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk

Brothers, we were children too once

When you're not a lazy body

You get up early on Christmas morning

The bell chimes, the street is so smooth

The church lights up in the quiet night

Inside there is singing and festive peace

And you feel so good about it

Preferably when the sermon isn't going on

Because then you get a little nap

Nap, nap, nap, nap, nap, nap

Because then you get a little nap

Nap, nap, nap, nap

Because then you get a little nap

In the morning you walk around the city

Take a little breath, it's so healthy

All the people are in their new clothes

But in the evening there is a fine feast

God bless the one who first invented

Playing Christmas and giving pledges

Young girl, let's play hide and seek

Just give me a kiss, it's Christmas

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Just give me a kiss, it's Christmas

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Just give me a kiss, it's Christmas

You who gave us the beautiful feast

What pleases us, you know best

However, I have the hope that - before I die

You will not deny

Just turn the universe completely around

Just turn all things upside down

The earth too, for it is false and hollow

Just don't touch my old Christmas

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Just don't touch my old Christmas

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

Just don't touch my old Christmas.
