On one night, it was shortly before 11,
An old elf stood by the windmill.
A little Christmas wreath hung on the door,
The elf wanted to grind flour for his cookies.
He wants to bake and cook first!
Because Christmas is coming soon.
Behind the window, can you see it?
The elf has his Christmas tree standing there.
First he has to fetch wood and water,
Then he can start making the Christmas stollen.
The moon shows him the way in the dark forest,
Snow under his boots, it is really cold.
Old elf stands in front of the house,
„That looks so festive!“
Tidy up quickly and out into the garden,
Waiting for his nice guest.
They ate, they laughed,
Together they sing „Silent Night“ („Heilige Nacht“)
