Translation of Morgen kommt der Nikolaus from German to English
Children, put out the boots
Tomorrow comes Saint Nicholas
Little children, how you rejoice
Even if you are already eighty
Once a year the shoe polish is used
And the largest pair of boots is polished clean
Once a year the shoe polish is used
And the largest pair of boots is polished clean
Come, Papa, come and don't shy away
Do you think Saint Nicholas won't see you?
Children, put out the boots
Tomorrow comes Saint Nicholas
If there's rustling in the house tonight
Quiet and secret, so no one wakes up
It's definitely not mice
But many dear little Saint Nicholases
Because the old man has long since lost his strength
And because he can't do it alone anymore
He rested in heaven
And only points down at the shoes from above
His eyes are tired and sick
So polish the boots sparkling clean
So I can see them
Children, put out the boots
Tomorrow comes Saint Nicholas
Little children, how you rejoice
Even if you are already eighty
Once a year the shoe polish is used
And the largest pair of boots is polished clean
Once a year the shoe polish is used
And the largest pair of boots is polished clean
Come, Papa, come and don't shy away
Do you think Saint Nicholas won't see you?
Children, put out the boots
Tomorrow comes Saint Nicholas
But the most beautiful thing, you'll soon realize
Is to be Saint Nicholas yourself
Because you don't need money to bring joy
For any big things
You don't need more than good ideas
Draw a picture or write a poem
Or craft with apples and nuts
Write with it: "This is from me with a thousand kisses"
And in the morning, well, there's something going on
The joy is twice as big
And I'll be unemployed
Children, put out the boots
Tomorrow comes Saint Nicholas
Little children, how you rejoice
Even if you are already eighty
Once a year the shoe polish is used
And the largest pair of boots is polished clean
Once a year the shoe polish is used
And the largest pair of boots is polished clean
Come, Papa, come and don't shy away
Do you think Saint Nicholas won't see you?
Children, put out the boots
Tomorrow comes Saint Nicholas
Go, run, Rudolph
