O Tannenbaum, du trägst ein grünen Zweig (English Translation)


O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
you wear a green branch
in winter, in summer,
that lasts all the loved time.

Why should I not be green,
while I can!
I have neither father nor mother
who can take care of me.

And the one who can take care of me
is the Beloved God,
who makes me grow and turn green,
so I am strong and tall.






Translation by Virgile Jarrige
