KLING, GLOCKCHEN

Traditional German Carol

Kling, Glockchen, klinglingeling,
Kling, Glockchen, kling!
LaBt mich ein, ihr Kinder,
Ist so kalt der Winter,
Offnet mir die Turen,
LaBt mich nicht erfrieren.
Kling, Glockchen, klinglingeling,
Kling, Glockchen, kling!

Kling, Glockchen, klingelingeling,
Kling, Glockchen, kling!
Madchen hort und Bubchen,
Macht mir auf das Stubchen,
Bring euch dran erlaben.
Kling, Glockchen, klingelingeling,
Kling, Glockchen, kling!

Kling, Glockchen, klingelingeling,
Kling, Glockchen, kling!
Hell ergluhn die Kerzen!
Will drin wohnen frohlich,
Frommes Kind, wie selig!
Kling, Glockchen, klingelingeling,
Kling, Glockchen, kling!

English Translation by Karl Enslin - 1814-1875: RING, LITTLE BELLS

Ring, bells, go tingalingaling,
Ring, little bells!
O how cold the winter!
Will you let Me enter?
Do not bar the doorway
On my blessed birthday!
Ring, bells, go tingalingaling,
Ring, little bells!

Ring, bells, go tingalingaling,
Ring, little bells!
Maid and Infant tender,
Will you let Us enter?
To Us shelter giving,
And the Father praising?
Ring, bells, go tingalingaling,
Ring, little bells.

Ring, bells, go tingalingaling,
Ring, little bells!
In our hearts now stealing,
'Mid the bells all pealing,
Joy and blessing holy
From the Child so lowly,
Ring, bells, go tingalingaling,
Ring, little bells.
