Cole, Nat King - O Tannenbaum Lyrics

This is a lovely song, and it was a regular Christmas song throughout my childhood. But it always used to make me laugh because it sounded to my ears like "O Time bomb"... 😆 ⏰💣

Beautiful.

He does a pretty good job speaking German. Pronounce is a off a bit

WoW! Talented Nat King Cole transcends not only foreign languages but time, years, decades, centuries...and I bet he will be singing in the Millennium as well!

I never knew he sang in my language...oh this is my personal present this year. Nat KING Cole forever!

hey man! Cool dass du Nat King Cole hörst. geiler Geschmack!

Nat king cole IS Christmas.

Wow! This German version by Nat King Cole is haunting. I'm obsessed!

German Christmas carols are so beautiful who would ever think they were capable of such atrocities.

Peter Roberts Every nation on this earth is capable of anything, good or bad, in the right circumstances. Why you would bring that up on a Christmas song is mind blowing to me.

He sounds wonderful and sang accurate. Nice job!!! 👍🏽

Why isn't this song on that record ^^^???

My dad puts this on every Christmas.

I like the song, but holy fucking shit this guy looks creepy

194 days left thank god

Is this the song that mentioned at "Green Book" movie which Mr Cole was beaten by extremists.

Maryland my Maryland

Oh Krusty Crab oh Krusty Crab

Nat King Cole war toll, as they say in the deutsch.

Listening to this while I finally begin to take down my tree..... In mid-February.

one of the Greatest Singers that ever lived!

I don't know why but the two local radio stations that normally play Christmas music every year have stopped playing songs like this one, Pretty Ribbons by Roy Orbison, Oh Christmas Tree, and other classic Christmas songs. Why. They instead play Last Christmas and All I Want for Christmas, which are good songs but they play them once and hour and you get tired of them quick. If Christmas isn't the time to embrace the past and all that great music when is?

The dudes voice is so smooth he can make german sound beautiful.

3 more sleeps until Christmaaaaas! :)

What a Beautiful song, in English and in German!

2018 anyone? ❤🎄❄

Sadly, yes

My Great Grandfather would sing this, but I was only 4 or 5 and never understood

Fine Song Nat Aloha from Hawaii

I am angry - das ist Deutsch!!!! this is german language => he sings zur :( these sound is : z= ts [tsur]

Uh, what? Anf don't be angry. It's bad for the soul.

Nice attempt at German. lol. American accent. Need some "ach".

Nat King Cole don't need no nuttin'.

Vó Sevastí cantava na língua alemã para Nicole ,quando pequena......

I applaud this man for learning it in German!!! My favorite version!!!

Ha ha.Give me a break. It is so unlike real German.! ; Ja ... es ist besonders hubsch im Januar; aber grunnt nicht nur im Winter wenn es schneit, aber auch im Sommzerzeit, und Fruhling und Herbst. Ist herrlich ewig. Nat hat die Stimme einem Uberengel.

@WomanforTRUMP "Ha ha! Give me a break." Nat King Cole is a legend. And this is perfect.

Beautiful

Is it a royal Tannenbaum

This was such a great man with an unimaginable golden voice.

Germany is an amazing country and its people are fantastic. You have nothing to worry about.

Starting my Christmas music early this year. This is one of my favs.

Just goes to show you can do anything if you are black....as long as you do it the best!!! 🙌🏿

Beautiful song :) Its Christmas/Boxing day here, Happy Birthday to the Lord and Merry Christmas to all Christians!

So my Christmas can't be merry because I'm agnostic?

There is no Boxing Day in Germany,that is for the English and Anglo sycophants.

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit, nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Blätter!

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, du kannst mir sehr gefallen.
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, Du kannst mir sehr gefallen.

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, dein Kleid will mich was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit gibt Trost und Kraft zu jeder Zeit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum, dein Kleid will mich was lehren.

This song makes me think of Christmas as a child with my family. I love it. Makes me want t be a kid again.

You never hear this anymore. Sad, because it's a beautiful song.

I play this every Christmas.

This is my favorite Christmas song ever as a German this is awesome

Not correct as a realGerman told us. Ja ... es ist besonders hubsch im Januar; aber grunnt nicht nur im Winter wenn es schneit, aber auch im Sommzerzeit, und Fruhling und Herbst. Ist herrlich ewig. Nat hat die Stimme einem Uberengel.

What a wonderful interpretation of this song! As german I can say I love his version most of all I ever heard! ✨⭐️✨💖✨ What a voice! 😍🎄

What a great singer. I still remember as a small child the day he passed. Rest in peace!

Today is December 11th 2017.. No other male voice can do this song as much justice as he can, Mr Cole, you are Missed madly!!!

Classic silky smooth voice. I never get enough of Nat. I'm amazed every time I hear him sing anything...

Merry Christmas everyone!! 20 more days and counting

animegenius PROD.
Merry Christmas dude 🎄
From Texas

Wonderfull ......

beautiful.....

Absolutely beautiful. Makes my heart ache just listening to this version.

My mom and dad listened to Nat King Cole every Christmas Eve and they passed it along to us. I love his Christmas Albums

Beautiful

Nat's music is a gift to all languages and all the world.

but not this one, its terrible :D

@László Nádas Nat King Cole is a legend. And this is perfect. Or perfekt, if you prefer.

The pronunciation is terrible to those of us who can speak German.

@Marc Sweeney true however his voice is so smooth that me personally I'm willing to overlook it.

Awesome..

My grandfathers favorite song, since he passed we listen to it every year in German as he liked it

This song reminds me of my kid brother who I love and miss so very much. He was deported back to Jamaica twelve years ago. He loved to sing this song.

@Nick Houser Correct.

@Nick Houser: EXCUSE ME, SIR? You do know what happens when you ASSUME; you are making an ASS of U!! My brother DID come to this country....LEGALLY!! We came because my mother landed a job as a Nurse in a hospital!! For your DAMN information!! He got himself in trouble, and THAT'S why he's gone!! Some of you hateful people in this world, need a serious lobotomy!!!

@WomanforTRUMP two words, fuck. you.

Alea iacta est.

I'm so sorry that happened

Brilliant, unique voice

A voice like no other, no one else comes close.

Perry Como...Andy Wiliams.....more.

@WomanforTRUMP you could include Bing , Sinatra, Dean Martin etc etc but I still think Nat had the edge. They were all wonderful but "the man with the velvet voice" Nat King Cole is my number one too

@WomanforTRUMP Perry Como and Andy Williams are nice. Not Nat King Cole, but nice nonetheless

To whoever gave this a thumbs down... I WILL find u....

@Ken Sturm Please never talk to me again. This is some of the dumbest shit the internet has to offer. 😒

@Ken Sturm I heard this on the radio just a couple of days ago.

praeriedog2 What state? Not in Michigan!

@Ken Sturm Florida.

HarlemPixie33 ???

Just Beautiful.

Thanks! Great song!

Normandy?

Id say Bavaria

No, that is the "normal german". But there are many dialects in germany...hassian, northern, bavarian... and they don't understand each other.

I'm back... Happy Holiday's

+akilla214u2c you too bro!

akilla214u2c hi

I can't get enough of Nat und seine O Tannenbaum

+akilla214u2c Ja ... es ist besonders hubsch im Januar; aber grunnt nicht nur im Winter wenn es schneit, aber auch im Sommzerzeit, und Fruhling und Herbst. Ist herrlich ewig. Nat hat die Stimme einem Uberengel.
