Maria Durch Ein' Dornwald Ging
Weihnachtslieder
Maria Walked Through a Thorny Wood
Maria walked through a thorny wood
Lord have mercy!
Maria walked through a thorny wood
Which had not borne leaves for seven years!
Jesus and Maria
What did Maria carry beneath her heart?
Lord have mercy!
A little child without pain
That Maria carried beneath her heart!
Jesus and Maria
There the thorns bore roses
Lord have mercy!
As the child was carried through the forest
There the thorns bore roses!
Jesus and Maria
What shall the child's name be?
Lord have mercy!
The name shall be Christ
That was to be the name from the beginning!
Jesus and Maria
Who shall be the child's baptist?
Lord have mercy!
It shall be Saint John
He shall be the child's baptist!
Jesus and Maria
What shall the child receive as a christening gift?
Lord have mercy!
The heaven and the whole world
That shall be the child's christening gift!
Jesus and Maria
Who has redeemed the world alone?
Lord have mercy!
The little Christ child has done that
The little Christ child has redeemed the world alone!
Jesus and Maria
