Lyrics: O Tannenbaum by Nat King Cole
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen
Wie oft hat nicht zur Winterzeit
Ein Zweig von dir mich hocherfreut
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blätter
