It's Christmas time
Ne'er have I been so afraid
This Christmas time
We dread the light, and we hide in shade
And in a world of fear
You daren't trust your fellow man
That is Nazi Germany
At Christmas time

Hunger and fear
Fear of each other
Spies everywhere – who knows
Maybe your brother
Friends and neighbours disappear
And they are never seen again
Are they dead? Are they alive?
What has happened – how? And when?
And those rumours about death camps
Could it be that they are true?
Well, tonight – thank God! – it's them
Instead of you

No, we won't have any Christmas feast this Christmas time
For food is scarce – we barely stay alive
One candle we will light
To have some light at night
Is it really Christmas time at all?

Daughter's dead – victim of an Allied bomb
Son is dead – killed in action at the front
Is it really Christmas time at all?

Fear and hunger

Fear and hunger

Fear and hunger
Is it really Christmas time at all?
