It Takes Two To Make a Tear

It takes two to make a tear It’s Christmastime so no more killing now! Let’s get together, sing some carols here. In no man’s land, we’re brothers for today. A merry Christmas, season’s greetings, mate. Und frohliche weihnachten to you, my friend. Oh, stille nacht, holy night: a lovely sound. I’ll trade some brandy for your schnapps, old mate. Und bratwurst for your bully beef, my friend! It’s nice to know you, as we’re friendly now. I wish that you could meet my folk today. Your German language is a pleasant sound. Und Englisch klingt gut, now it’s spoken here. It’s good when laughter is the only sound! A cigarette? Und zigarette, my friend? It’s good to smoke it either way right now. I’d take you home to meet my folks, so here’s A photo of my wife and children, mate. I wish that I could be with them today. We’ll have a game of football, Max, my mate: A Christmas friendly five a side today! Ah, football das ist gut, my friend. And only friendly rivalry from now. With Cheers, instead of cries: such happy sounds! And No Man’s land’s a perfect pitch right here. I wish I had some gifts to offer here. Oh, what I wouldn’t give for hankies now. Let’s sing again; it’s such a jolly sound. It’s snowing; friendship keeps us warm today. You’re welcome to mein mantel, Bob, my friend. I never thought I’d wear your coat, Max, mate. The world is now a better place today. I think we’ll stay gute freunde, do you, my friend? Of course we’ll be good pals from now on, mate. I couldn’t shoot at German soldiers now. We’ll tell them straight that we’re all friendly here - And no more fighting in the world sounds sound! They say we’re enemies again, old mate. Ja, weihnachten war gestern, Bob my friend. Forgive me if I take your life today… *In 1914, the German and English troops had a ceasefire at Christmas. I think my German words are correct, but apologies if not!
