Der Kleine Trommler [English translation]

Through the silent night ta ram tam tam tam

There was a little boy walking ram tam tam tam

Holding his toy drum in one hand

Wolt to the stable

Where the flu was

Ram tam tam tam

Ram tam tam tam

And the drum sounded ta ram tam tam tam

Through the country

Dear Christ child ta ram tam tam tam

Just a poor boy ram tam tam tam

Where there are kings with gifts

Perhaps they don't want me to be with you at all

Don't have any gold

Don't have any money

Can only drum for you ram tam tam tam

If you like it

And from heaven high ta ram tam tam tam

Then a star came down ta ram tam tam tam

It led him down the quiet streets

And his snare drum sounded and sang

Ram tam tam tam

Ram tam tam tam

That for the good of the world ta ram tam tam tam

Christ came
