In Dulci Jubilo
Die Roten Rosen Lyrics

The lyrics to Die Roten Rosen's song "In Dulci Jubilo" are a traditional German Christmas carol that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The song begins with the lines "In dulci jubilo, singet und seid froh!" which translates to "In sweet rejoicing, sing and be glad!" The lyrics convey the joy and happiness that comes with the holiday season as it celebrates the birth of Christ. The next verse translates to "Our hearts' delight lies in the manger, shining like the sun, in his mother's lap. Alpha est et O" which symbolizes the beginning and the end of everything. This line establishes the connection between the birth of Christ and the creation of the world.

The third verse of the song is slightly different from the first two. It begins with "O Jesu parvule, mein Kopf tut mir so weh," which translates to "Oh little Jesus, my head hurts so much." This verse is a plea for comfort and hope through the difficult times. The lyrics state "Trahe me post te," which can be translated to "Draw me after you," it is a call to follow Jesus.

The last verse of the song is a combination of two traditional German Christmas carols. The first section translates to "O du fröhliche, o du selige, gnadenbringende Weihnachtszeit!" which means "Oh how joyful, oh how blessed, grace-bringing Christmas time." The second section, "Vom Himmel hoch da komm ich her," translates to "From heaven above I come to you," a piece that is familiar to many Christian worshippers around the world. It is a call to celebrate the birth of Christ as it brings joy, happiness, and grace to the world.
