Subject: RE: Christmas songs in original languages
Does anyone know where the line breaks would be in this Japanese version of Silent Night, to correspond to the six lines of the German, as posted above (the 6th line in German is a repeat of the 5th)?

I can't seem to fit these words to the tune without some help.
