Tannenbaum

Here I grow, a handsome fir tree

Standing upright within my wood;

An innocent, then let me be.

Where now I thrive for all to see,

Strobilus stemmed out of the bud;

Here I grow a handsome fir tree.

Today I prosper, living free,

As streaming sap spawns my lifeblood;

An innocent, then let me be.

Forever green and wild are we,

My friends and I'd age if we could;

Here I grow, a handsome fir tree.

The gentle breeze may hear my plea

And listen to me as it should;

An innocent, then let me be.

So, man is come to sever me,

To rob me of my livelihood;

Here I grow, a handsome fir tree ~

An innocent, then let me be.
