He was a barefoot shepherd, he played the pipe
Sheep grazed in the mountains and slept
Suddenly the angels from the sky flew in white
They woke him when he was sleeping, while he was sleeping
They woke him when he was sleeping, while he was sleeping

You have to go to Bethlehem today
For Christmas, time has filled the days
Where the stable with the broods
The baby lies and sleeps on the hay

The world has been waiting for this for many years
And Nativity welcomes you today
Run the shepherd on a clear path, the sky is burning
In the sky of the first star glow
In the sky of the first star glow

He was a barefoot shepherd, he had cold legs
But the good angel gave beautiful shoes
He took the sheep, he ran like the wind
And in the sky the glow from the stars, from the stars
And in the sky the glow from the stars, from the stars

You have to go to Bethlehem today
For Christmas, time has filled the days
Where the stable with the broods
The baby lies and sleeps on the hay

The world has been waiting for this for many years
And Nativity welcomes you today
Run the shepherd on a clear path, the sky is burning
In the sky of the first star glow
In the sky of the first star glow
