Far beyond Losboa - The bird-cherry's in bloom. I've lost my sleep, I languish day and night...

Only live,
Nothing else-just be.
Don't stress before Christmas-
Do not break earthly ties,
    don't leave.
Don't forget - you've a family.
Garden paths will soon dry up
    for you and me;
Only live.
Don't stress before Christmas-

Sunshine's wholesome even in
    wintertime.
Don't stress before Christmas-
It does chill the blood then ---
    but that we'll forgive,
Without eternal youth we can do;
Don't let your ill looks discomfit you !
Don't stress before Christmas-
Simply - live !

You haven't just wasted your energy;
Don't stress before Christmas.
All that you had to your dear ones
    you'd give---
All, yes, all, quite uninterestedly.
Be the same now-obedient and sweet,
Sweet and generous---
Only live !
So don't stress for Christmas.
