Bright December moon
Terug naar het overzicht
Bright December moon is beaming,
boys and girls now stop your play.
For tonight's the wonderous evening,
eve of good St. Nichola's day.
Over roofs his horse unshod
brings us cake or else the rod
Over roofs his horse unshod
brings us cake or else the rod
We will share things fair and even
marzipan and gingerbread
Oh, what fun it will be playing
with our games till time for bed.
Only naughty kids will shake
get the rod instead of cake
Only naughty kids will shake
get the rod instead of cake
No one here needs to be fearful
mother says we have been good
Though perhaps we've not been always
as obedient as we should.
So we wait in hopeful fear
holy saint be welcome here.
So we wait in hopeful fear
holy saint be welcome here.
(Op de melodie van Zie de maan schijnt door de bomen)
