MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE !
Hope you like this Austrian Christmas carol (and perhaps video, too) !

8 December/Dezember 2009.

'Still, Still, Still'. Weihnachtslied aus Österreich (Salzburg).

A traditional Austrian Christmas carol from Salzburg, ca. 1819. See below for lyrics in German and the English translation.

Photographs of Salzburg, Austria, accompany the piece. Taken September 2007.

This recording is taken from what to me is THE BEST Vienna Boys Choir album of Christmas carols EVER! All are German and Austrian carols in this collection, released originally on vinyl in 1967.

=========

STILL, STILL, STILL

1. Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.
Die Englein tun schön jubilieren,
Bei dem Kripplein musizieren.
Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.

2. Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!
Maria tut dich niedersingen
Ihre große Lieb darbringen.
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!

3. Groß, groß, groß,
Die Lieb' ist übergroß.
Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen
Und muß reisen auf den Straßen.
Groß, groß, groß,
Die Lieb' ist übergroß.

Literal English Translation:

Still, still, still,
'Cause baby wants to sleep.
The angels jubilate beautifully,
By the manger making music.
Still, still, still,
'Cause baby wants to sleep.

Sleep, sleep, sleep,
My dear babe sleep!
Maria sings you a lullaby
And brings you her true heart.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
My dear babe sleep!

Great, great, great,
The love is more than great!
God has left his throne
And must go by road.
Great, great, great,
The love is more than great.
