Nicholas, I Beg Of You

MIDI / Noteworthy Composer

Nicholas I beg of you
Drop into my little shoe
Something sweet or sweeter,
Thank you, Saint and Peter!

Another Translation:

Nicholas remember,
Us on five December.
Fill our little shoe, do,
Thank you, Saint and Peter.

A Third Translation:

Saint Nicholas, I beg of you
Toss into my little shoe,
Put into my stocking.
Thank you, Saint Ni-cho-las.

A Fourth Explanation (from a Dutch site):

Sinterklaas Kapoentje ('Kapoentje' doesn't mean anything. go figure),
throw something in my little shoe,
throw something in my little boot,
thank you little sinterklaas.
