A Christmas 2020 Medley by Simone Simons & Oliver Palotai

We took three traditional Christmas songs, recorded and orchestrated them, and changed the lyrics. Probably unnecessary to mention not to take it too seriously. It's in German, like two of the originals (one is of french origin), but things are easy to translate nowadays, if you want to know what the words are about, and if your German is rusty.
Lyrics by Simone Simons & Oliver Palotai. Orchestrated and produced by Oliver Palotai.
Original songs are: "O Tannenbaum", "Leise rieselt der Schnee" and "Engel auf den Feldern singen"
Leise niest man im Schnee,
Entchen frieren im See.
Weihnachtlich glänzet der Wald.
Freue Dich, Impfung kommt bald
------------------------------------
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Mein Bauch füllt bald den ganzen Raum.
Oh Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Und Schuld daran ist der Lockdown.
Mein Atem riecht nach Alkohol.
Kein Urlaub mehr in Südtirol.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Mein Sixpack bleibt ein ferner Traum
------------------------------------
Panik in den Supermärkten,
Hamsterkäufe sind modern.
Lass uns die Regale rauben.
Masken tragen wir nicht gern.
Klopapier, ist mal wieder ausverkauft

This woman is singing amazingly while performing Monty python level humour. That's why you are awesome guys. Shout out to Oliver's always effortless piano. Merry fucking Christmas and let next year come already and wash all this BS away.

[@HellOnToastbrot]

Thank you. Merry Christmas to you, too.

[@cancelled_user]

Thank you Simone! You're an exceptional singer and a beautiful woman. So many memories thanks to YOU and Epica. I Love your voice and I Love You! ❤️ Merry Christmas! :-)

[@konradstanczyk5158]

Here's my translation of the lyrics (not everything was completely translatable, but hopefully I got the point across): People quietly sneezing in the snow, Little ducks freezing in the lake. The forest is shining like Christmas. Rejoice, the vaccine is coming soon O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, My belly'll soon fill the entire room. Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, And the lockdown is to blame. My breath smells of liquor. No more vacation in South Tyrol. O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, My six pack remains a distant dream. Panic in the supermarkets, Panic buying is in fashion. Let us rob the shelves. We don't like to wear masks. Toilet paper is sold out again. PS. What a fun take on holiday classics!

[@simonesimonsofficial]

Thank you for the translation 💛

[@laartje24]

@@simonesimonsofficial Could you maybe turn community subtitles on so we can put the translation there?

[@cancelled_user]

@@simonesimonsofficial Happy Birthday Simone! ❤️ I Love your voice and I Love you! I hope you'll never leave Epica, please! You and Floor are my two most favourite female singers of all time. Both absolutely amazing artists. It would be great to see you two together again.

My neighbours are seriously questioning my mental health now....I was reading the lyrics, seeing the way both Simone and Oliver are acting in this video and and thinking how non German speakers would probably take this very serious made me bash out in laughter so hard....tears were coming down. Thank you for this.....I think we all needed this one!

[@HellOnToastbrot]

Please apologize to your neighbors from us. But I am glad you had fun!

[@gyqz]

@@HellOnToastbrot I will apologize on your behalf, but that will not make them question my mental health any less...LOL

[@markfrancis6886]

I'm always impressed that you can do such dramatic music and deep lyrics and then demonstrate so clearly that you have a sense of humour. First time I saw Epica I expected quality and talent, which I got, but perhaps didn't expect the level of light-hearted joy it was performed with. Best wishes all round to bands and fans alike
