Juletræet Med Sin Pynt [English translation]

The Christmas tree with its decorations

Waits for us to get started

Never has it been so green

Never has it been so pretty

And from the sky itself it seems

That the big star slid down

Hearts1 cut with scissors

Of the dexterous kind

Cornets2 with curly handle

Which so easily gets a defect

Baskets, balls, birds, flags

Up and down and front and behind

The Christmas tree visiting

Greets us from oak and beech

With message from out there

That it brightens day by day

And that the sun from its hiding place

Wishes us a Merry Christmas
