Bethlehem crib The
Bethlehem star shines with a golden glow,
And in the stable little Jesus on the hay
blesses the children
with his little hands, Beautiful, angelic singing flows from heaven.
The ox and the donkey warm the child with their breath
, Hear the sheep's bells, the ram's bleating,
Crickets play merrily on the violin,
Everyone wants to welcome the Lord in their own way.
The poor shepherds came to the shed,
what they had, they took, they carried to Jesus.
Rich kings offered gifts and paid
homage to him, the Lord and the King.
Little Kuba puts together simple notes on a pipe, He
would like to come closer, but he is very afraid,
Everything tells about playing the pipe,
About his great poverty and sad misery.
As a gift, the musicians play the bass, you
can hear the violin, the bagpipes and loud singing.
A carol, a carol - it is carried in the mountains, a
carol, a carol - hello, dear Lord.
While they all rejoice together so much, the
star of Bethlehem shines on them in the sky.
He trembles for his power, the angry, vengeful King Herod,
He beheaded his son, he will cut off all the children.
O King Herod, death sharpens his scythe.
The devil is already arranging the melody on the pitchfork.
In hell they light and boil tar,
Woe to you, Herod, woe, woe!
Herod's head has fallen, and it is frying to hell.
There is his place, he has given up his soul to the devil.
And on earth love and on earth joy.
One Most High Lord - baby Jesus.
In Bethlehem the stable, the child folds his hands,
blesses everyone around him and talks to himself.
Bartek is pushing hard, he would like to hear something,
"Peace to people of good will" - quieter, let's be quieter.
Though centuries have passed and the world is so big,
but nobody has forgotten about the little baby.
As tradition has it, at the holy eve,
everyone sits down and the carol flows.
And as a farewell, accept the wishes,
Warm wishes for all the best,
May the New Year bring you everything better,
May love and peace in your guest houses.
