Kling, Glöckchen, Klinglingelingeling, kling, Glöckchen, kling! Lasst mich ein ihr Kinder, ist so kalt im Winter, öffnet mir die Türen, lasst mich nicht erfrieren. Kling, Glöckchen, Klingelingelingeling, kling, Glöckchen, kling! Kling, Glöckchen, Klingelingelingeling, kling, Glöckchen, kling! Mädchen, hört, und Bübchen, macht mir auf das Stübchen, bring euch viele Gaben, sollt euch dran erlaben. Kling, Glöckchen, Klingelingelingeling, kling, Glöckchen, kling! Kling, Glöckchen, Klingelingelingeling, kling, Glöckchen, kling! Heller glühn die Kerzen, öffnet mir die Herzen, will drin wohnen fröhlich, frommes Kind wie selig! Kling, Glöckchen, Klingelingelingeling, kling, Glöckchen, kling!	Ring, bells, go tingalingaling, Ring, little bells! O how cold the winter! Will you let me enter? Do not bar the doorway On my blessed birthday! Ring, bells, go tingalingaling, Ring, little bells! Ring, bells, go tingalingaling, Ring, little bells! Maid and infant tender, Will you let us enter? To us shelter giving, And the Father praising? Ring, bells, go tingalingaling, Ring, little bells! Ring, bells, go tingalingaling, Ring, little bells! In our hearts now stealing, ‘Mid the bells all pealing, Joy and blessing holy From the Child so lowly, Ring, bells, go tingalingaling, Ring, little bells!
