《噢，聖誕樹》（德文：O Tannenbaum）係一首德國嘅聖誕歌。呢首歌係用一首同聖誕節，甚至係節日毫無關係嘅德國傳統民歌做基礎，然後同傳統嘅聖誕樹聯繫埋一齊，變成呢首歌。

歷史

呢首歌嘅現代版本係由萊比錫嘅風琴演奏家、教師兼作曲家Ernst Anschütz喺1824年創作嘅。聖誕樹係一種冷杉樹。歌詞其實並唔係指聖誕節，亦都唔係描述裝飾咗嘅聖誕樹。相反，佢哋將冷杉嘅常青品質睇成堅定同忠誠嘅象徵。

Anschütz嘅文本用Melchior Franck創作嘅16世紀Silesian民歌「哦，聖誕樹」（Ach Tannenbaum）做基礎。喺1819年，奧古斯沙納（德文：August Zarnack）受到呢首民歌嘅啟發，寫咗一首悲劇情歌，將常青、「忠實」嘅冷杉樹同佢嘅唔忠實情人形成鮮明嘅對比。呢首民謠首先同Anschütz嘅聖誕節聯繫埋一齊，喺傳統嘅歌詞嗰度加多咗兩句自己嘅歌詞。聖誕樹嘅習俗係喺19世紀開始嘅，呢首歌後嚟俾人當成聖誕頌歌（Christmas carol）。Anschütz嘅版本仍然用treu意思係真實、忠實）做形容詞嚟描述冷杉嘅針葉，令人回想起同首民謠裏面唔忠實嘅少女嘅對比。喺20世紀，當呢首歌同聖誕節聯繫埋一齊之後，原本嘅treu改咗做grün（意思係綠色）^[1]。
