An easy Advent song


This is an easy song for the Advent season.


Wenn ein Lichtlein brennt,
Feiern wir Advent.
Später brennen zwei, drei Kerzen,
Freuen sich die Kinderherzen,
Brennen Lichtlein vier,
Feiern Weihnacht wir.

And here comes the English translation:

When one candle's on,
We'll celebrate the Advent Season.
Later, when two, then three canles are burning,
The children's hearts will be joyful.
When four candles are burning,
We'll celebrate Christmas.


Most Germans know the melody. Asking them may be a good way to establish a personal contact.
