Der Krampus (feat. Solaria)
A poem about the Krampus set to music
Seid bereit - immer bereit!
UmaMu - Uwi macht Musik (Uwi makes music)
I am an original Berlin veteran with heart and soul. I have lived in Austria since 2007. During the Covid19 lockdown I discovered composing my own music as a hobby.
Lyrics
Krampus, Krampus, Besenstiel,
beten kann ich eh nicht viel,
und was ich beten kann,
geht das Kramperl gar nichts an!
1
It was Krampusnacht evening, and all through the town,
Not a child was laughing; they all wore a frown.
For they knew in their hearts that he soon would appear,
With hooves and horns and chains it’s Krampus, my dear!
2
He leaps from the rooftops, his sack swinging wide,
With a glint in his eye and a bone-chilling stride.
For those who’ve been naughty, he brings quite a fright,
On Krampusnacht eve, in the dead of the night.
3
He peeks in the windows, a shadowy creep,
And children who spot him, hide under their sheets.
“Oh, he will not find me they whisper and pray,
But Krampus is clever and finds his own way.
4
When morning arrives, all’s silent and still,
The naughty are gone; they’ve paid for their thrill.
So next Krampusnacht, keep your deeds nice and bright,
Or Krampus will visit your house in the night.
Krampus
Hier kommt der Krampus!
