Das Mädchen mit den Schwefelhölzern

Today we celebrate Christmas Eve
Christmas peace by candlelight
Only the girl with the matches
Sitting out there in the snow alone
Freezing and forgotten by the world
Flames up her last match

Holy night oh
Please keep me awake
I want to dream
But I am already so weak
Eh the warmth of the light
Soon for me completely extinguished
I would like to feel what Christmas really is like

Shining, she gives the light of the flame
Colorful pictures from beautiful times
And suddenly there stands a golden angel
Who offers her comforting hands
Smiling, the little girl closes
His eyes sleep peacefully

Holy night oh
Please take care of me
Let me dream
Under the heavenly roof
Eh, the warmth of the light
Soon for me completely extinguished
I would like to feel what Christmas really is like
Let me once
Feel what Christmas really is like
