Blue Amberol 26066 Frohliche Weihnachten-Translation info?

Post by barnettrp21122 »

I found this charming Blue Amberol recently-"Frohliche Weihnachten" (Merry Christmas) sung by a childrens' choir. The three songs they sing are familiar, but I wonder if someone would care to translate the recitations between them. Any other recording information would be appreciated too.
It's interesting to imagine a hundred years ago the children grouped around the recording horn, each ready to sing and recite. It has a kind of "home recording" atmosphere to it. Enjoy!
