Today is Nikolaustag. (St. Nicholas' day). I was very lucky to find some sweet treats in my shoes this morning. St. Nicholaus was especially kind to me. I received gifts, although I forgot to shine my shoes like I did when I was a child. German children (and some adults too) love to sing the Nikolauslied (Nicholaus-song) " Lasst uns froh und munter sein " ("Let us be happy and cheerful"). Here are the lyrics and a video for you. German Lyrics Lasst uns froh und munter sein und uns recht von Herzen freun! Refrain: Lustig, lustig, tralera-lera, bald ist Nikolausabend da, bald ist Nikolausabend da! Dann stell ich den Teller auf, Nikolaus legt gewiß was drauf. Refrain: Lustig, ... Wenn ich schlaf, dann träume ich, jetzt bringt Nikolaus was für mich. Refrain: Lustig, ... Wenn ich aufgestanden bin, lauf ich schnell zum Teller hin. Refrain: Lustig, ... Nikolaus ist ein guter Mann, dem man nicht genug danken kann. Refrain: Lustig, ... English Lyrics Let us be happy and cheerful and really be happy in our hearts! Refrain: Jolly, jolly, tralala-lala, Soon Nicholas Eve is here! Soon Nicholas Eve is here! Then I put the plate out. Nicholaus surely put something on it. Refrain: Jolly, ... When I sleep, then I dream: Now Nicholas brings me something. Refrain: Jolly, ... When I have gotten up, I run quickly to the plate. Refrain: Jolly, ... Nicholas is a good man, Whom we can't thank enough. Refrain: Jolly, ... Here is a video for you to sing along. Have fun with it! If you want to learn more about St. Nicholaus, Wikipedia published an interesting article about him.
