Heute leuchten die Laternen English translation
von Lichterkinder

Tonight the lanterns shine so bright,
Like a thousand stars of light.
Glowing softly, gold and clear,
We walk on with joy and cheer.

Dark the night, yet I don’t fear,
For my lantern’s shining near.
Pink and blue and yellow gleam,
Dancing lights — a lovely scene.


Tonight the lanterns shine so bright,
Like a thousand stars of light.
Glowing softly, gold and clear,
We walk on with joy and cheer.

Now the darkness fills the sky,
Lanterns sparkle, passing by.
Purple, red and green we show,
So the world will see us glow.

Tonight the lanterns shine so bright,
Like a thousand stars of light.
Glowing softly, gold and clear,
We walk on with joy and cheer.
