by Ernst Ludwig Schellenberg (1883 - 1964)

Der König aus dem Morgenland
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG
Ich bin der König vom Morgenland,
ich bin der König vom Morgenland,
hab' am Hute ein buntes Band,
hab' in der Hand einen goldenen Stern.
Ich bin der König vom Morgenland.
Äpfel und Nüsse ess ich gern,
liebe Leute, seid so gut,
werft mir welche in meinen Hut;
komm ich dann hin zum Jesusknaben,
soll er auch einen Apfel haben,
auch einen Apfel haben.
