Wir verkünden euch den Wechsel im Jahr,
ihr fragt uns um Rat
und wir sagen euch wahr
und wir führen die Tat.
Wir weben und wissen.
Ihr habt das Gesetz, wir haben die Welt
und uns ist erlaubt,
was uns gefällt.
O kommt und glaubt!
Wir lieben Verliebte.

We proclaim to you the change of the year
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
We proclaim to you the change of the year,
You ask for our advice
And we speak truthfully to you
And we mind the matter.
We weave and we know.
You have your laws, we have the world
And are permitted
To do what we want.
O, come and believe!
We love lovers.
