Ach Papi, geh' doch heuer nicht auf die Weihnachtsfeier

Oh, Dad, don't go to the Christmas party this year
Otherwise, you'll come home staggering
And mommy will be very sad
On a beautiful Christmas

The father spoke to his son
A little light is already burning on the wreath

Chikki-chikki-chidi chikki-chikki-chidi
This is the most beautiful time of the year
Many wishes come true

Chikki-chikki-chidi chikki-chikki-chidi
The father spoke of Santa Claus
But his boy looked at him
Then he said I only want one thing from you

Oh, Dad, don't go to the Christmas party this year
Otherwise, you'll come home staggering
And mommy will be very sad
On a beautiful Christmas
On a beautiful Christmas

You remember last year
Weren't you there in the evening

Chikki-chikki-chidi chikki-chikki-chidi
A taxi brought you home
That was almost midnight

Chikki-chikki-chidi chikki-chikki-chidi
And your singing wasn't beautiful at all
The children had to go to sleep
And mother was very angry with you
That's why everyone wishes

Oh, Dad, don't go to the Christmas party this year
Otherwise, you'll come home staggering
And mommy will be very sad
On a beautiful Christmas
On a beautiful Christmas

Oh, Dad, don't go to the Christmas party this year
Otherwise, you'll come home staggering
And mommy will be very sad
On a beautiful Christmas
On a beautiful Christmas
