about

"Viele bunte Päckchen" is the German version of the Mel Tormé classic „The Christmas Song“ from 1945.
Dr. Ring Ding had already released a Reggae version of the original on his album „Once A Year“, but here comes the holiday treat for all germanophones and –philes.
Delivered with a fairytale teller voice on a cozily grooving rhythm – you can almost smell the cinnamon in the air…

lyrics

Viele bunte Päckchen

Viele bunte Päckchen in der Hand
geh' ich durch die helle Stadt,
die der Winter in ein Wunderland
zur Weihnachtszeit verzaubert hat

Und ich schau' mir
Viele wunderschöne Dinge an,
die in all den Fenstern sind.
Wenn ich Dir etwas schenken kann,
dann freue ich mich wie ein Kind

Die Leute schau'n so glücklich drein,
als könnte jeder heute selbst ein Engel sein.
Fast wie ein Weihnachtsmann komm' ich nach Haus'
Und stell' mir vor, Du packst die Päckchen langsam aus...

Viele bunte Kugeln glänzen dann
Am Tannenbaum bei Dir und mir.
Dann zünden wir beide die Lichter an,
Frohe Weihnacht mit Dir!
