Kerstavond [English translation]

Christmas Eve in front of the fireplace on the carpet

The winter is cold, but the coffee is hot

I see a black crow in the snow

A Christmas picture from a booklet

Christmas Eve in front of the fireplace on the carpet

The winter is cold, but the coffee is hot

I see a black crow in the snow

A Christmas picture from a booklet

There is a snowman in the field

Quietly waiting for the sun to melt him

And there comes Santa in his sleigh

He sees the snowman, he smiles and waves down

It's like a picture from Anton Pieck*

That old-fashioned atmosphere really is unique

And on the pond, people are ice skating,

And excited children's voices echo back

Christmas Eve in front of the fireplace on the carpet

The winter is cold, but the coffee is hot

I see a black crow in the snow

A Christmas picture from a booklet

Christmas Eve in front of the fireplace on the carpet

The winter is cold, but the coffee is hot

I see a black crow in the snow

A Christmas picture from a booklet

It's complete cozyness

And without noticing, time flies

These days really are my favorite days

Because the people quit hunting for some time

It's like a picture from Anton Pieck*

That old-fashioned atmosphere really is unique

And on the pond, people are ice skating,

And excited children's voices echo back

Christmas Eve in front of the fireplace on the carpet

The winter is cold, but the coffee is hot

I see a black crow in the snow

A Christmas picture from a booklet

Christmas Eve in front of the fireplace on the carpet

The winter is cold, but the coffee is hot

I see a black crow in the snow

A Christmas picture from a booklet
