In The Bleak Midwinter
1: In the bleak midwinter,
frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
snow on snow, on snow,
In the bleak midwinter,
long ago.
2. Our god, heaven cannot hold him,
nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
when he comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter
a stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ.
3. Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air;
But his mother only,
in her maiden bliss,
Worshiped the beloved
with a kiss.
4. What can I give him,
poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a wise man,
I would do my part;
Yet what can I give him:
give my heart.

The First Noel
1. The First Noel, the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
Oh, a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
2. They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!
3. Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
The pains of sin and death he fought
And with his blood mankind hath bought.
Chorus: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King! Praises we sing!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel!
Born is the King of Israel!

Jingle Bells
1. Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way,
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride, sing a sleighing song tonight, oh
Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
2. A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank; misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank, and we, we got upsot.
Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
3. A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by, In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away.
Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
4. Now the ground is white, go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack! you'll take the lead.
Chorus: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

AWAY IN A MANGER
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky, looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes;
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
And stay by my bedside, till morning is nigh.
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay,
Close by me forever, and love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children, in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

Silent Night / Stille Nacht
1. Silent night! Holy night!
All is calm all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace!
Sleep in heavenly peace!
2. Silent night! Holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Hallelujah
Christ the Saviour is born!
Christ the Saviour is born!
3. Silent night! Holy night!
Son of God love's pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus lord at thy birth!
Jesus lord at thy birth!
4. Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht!
Alles schläft, einsam wacht
Nur das traute hochheilige Paar
Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh
Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh
5. Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht
Hirten erst kundgemacht
Durch der Engel Halleluja
Tönt es laut von fern und nah:
Christ, der Retter ist da
Christ, der Retter ist da
6. Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht
Gottes Sohn, oh, wie lacht
Lieb' aus deinem göttlichen Mund
Da uns schlägt die rettende Stund
Christ, in deiner Geburt
Christ, in deiner Geburt

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
God rest you merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father a blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway this blessed Babe to find
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
But when to Bethlehem they came whereat this Infant lay
They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling down unto the Lord did pray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas all other doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

What Child Is This?

What Child Is This?
1. What Child is this who, laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet,
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing;
Haste, haste, to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
2. Why lies he in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
3. So bring him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise a song on high,
The virgin sings her lullaby.
Joy, joy for Christ is born,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

Süßer die Glocken nie klingen
Süßer die Glocken nie klingen
Als zu der Weihnachtszeit:
Es ist, als ob Engelein singen
Wieder von Frieden und Freud'.
Wie sie gesungen in seliger Nacht
Wie sie gesungen in seliger Nacht
Glocken, mit heiligem Klang
Klinget die Erde entlang!
O, wenn die Glocken erklingen,
Schnell sie das Christkindlein hört.
Tut sich vom Himmel dann schwingen
Eilet hernieder zur Erd'.
Segnet den Vater, die Mutter, das Kind
Segnet den Vater, die Mutter, das Kind
Glocken, mit heiligem Klang
Klinget die Erde entlang!
Klinget, mit lieblichem Schalle
Über die Meere noch weit.
Daß sich erfreuen doch alle
seliger Weihnachtszeit.
Alle aufjauchzen mit einem Gesang
Alle aufjauchzen mit einem Gesang
Glocken mit heiligem Klang,
Klinget die Erde entlang!
Süßer die Glocken nie klingen
Als zu der Weihnachtszeit:
Es ist, als ob Engelein singen
Wieder von Frieden und Freud'.

Go, Tell it On The Mountain
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a Holy Light.
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! Above the earth,
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Savior's birth.
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born
And brought us God's salvation that blessed Christmas morn!
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.

Auld Lang Syne
(Burns`original Scots pronounciation)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup!
and surely I'll be mine!
And we'll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
https://kaluzablondell.bandcamp.com/album/first-no-l
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou'd the gowans fine;
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit,
sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie's a hand o' thine!
And we'll tak' a right gude-willie waught,
for auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Kaluza & Blondell Castrop Rauxel, Germany
The folk music duo Kaluza & Blondell remains as opaque behind their melodious name as the stylistic diversity they reveal,
which can be located between folk, Americana and country.
Das Folk Music Duo Kaluza & Blondell bleibt hinter ihrem wohlklingenden Namen so undurchsichtig wie die stilistische Vielfalt, die sie offenbaren und die sich zwischen Folk, Americana und Country verorten lässt.
