From the recording Christmas Carols
For many people Christmas isn't complete without a proper, decorated tree. For me the same and for quite some years I have been putting up a tree myself. As the Christmas tree is such a favourite, the famous song about it had be on this album! Originally written in German, millions of people all over the world still enjoy this more then 200 years old song about the 'evergreen' tree. Accompanied by Piano and Oboe the first 2 verses are sung in German, the last verse in English. Don't forget to close your eyes whilst enjoying the music, and who knows: You just might every now and then hear a tree, creaking in the wind...

Lyrics
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 Weihnachtszeit,
ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
O Christmas Tree, o Christmas Tree,
the Tree for ev'ry season!
O Christmas Tree, o Christmas Tree,
the Tree for ev'ry season!
Not only green when summer glows,
but in the winter when it snows.
O Christmas Tree, o Christmas Tree,
the Tree for ev'ry season!
