Lichterkinder : traduction de Allemand vers Anglais
Children of light on this earth
Shine like stars in the sky
Just like St. Martin, they bring joy
Into all hearts in this world
Children of light on this earth
Shine like stars in the sky
Just like St. Martin, they bring joy
Into all hearts in this world
It's cold in the night
No one is out
Everyone is at home and comfortable
St. Martin rides his horse through the snow
It's dark and cold, he can hardly see anything
On the roadside, he sees a man
Who whimpers softly: "I'm freezing and sick"
Martin takes his cloak and splits it in two
And thanks to the two halves, it was enough for both
Children of light on this earth
Shine like stars in the sky
Just like St. Martin, they bring joy
Into all hearts in this world
It's cold in the night
No one is out
We are at home and comfortable
But not everyone in the world is as well off as we are
Many lack food, lack money
We light a candle, then many see the light
Share like St. Martin because someone needs you
Children of light bring smiles to faces
Sing this song and show your lights
Children of light on this earth
Shine like stars in the sky
Just like St. Martin, they bring friends
Into all hearts in this world
Lanterns and lights bring warmth to the world
Shine like stars in the sky
For all whose lives are dark and cold
Full of shadows, fear, and violence
We share like St. Martin the cloak and money
Love for one's neighbor is all that counts
Children of light bring smiles to faces
Sing this song and show your lights
We are all children of light
The candles shine-children of light
Love in the heart-children of light
For all children of this world
We are all children of light
The candles shine-children of light
With love in the heart-children of light
For all children of this world
Children of light!
Children of light on this earth (Children of light)
Shine like stars in the sky (Children of light)
Just like St. Martin, they bring joy (Children of light)
Into all hearts of this world (Children of light)
Just like St. Martin, they bring joy
Into all hearts in this world
