Words to "Fröhliche Weihnacht! Überall tönet ....."
on: October 18, 2005, 07:57:08 PM
Does anyone know if there are English lyrics to this German Christmas carol?

Fröhliche Weihnacht!
Überall tönet durch die Lüfte froher Schall.
Weihnachtston
Weihnachtsbaum
Weihnachtsduft in jedem Raum !
Fröhliche Weihnacht!
Überall tönet durch die Lüfte froher Schall.

A German colleague insists that this actually was originally an English song and so naturally I should know the words.  I'd never heard it before I came to Germany!

Any ideas? (He wants the choir to sing a verse in English and keeps nagging ...)

Looks like I'll have to make up my own!  :D
