LYRICS:
Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivocka …
Щедрик, щедрик, щедрівочка,
Прилетіла ластівочка,
Стала собі щебетати,
Господаря викликати.
Вийди, вийди, господарю,
Подивися на кошару.
Там овечки покотились,
А ягнички народились.
Julsång, julsång, julsång lilla,
då flög in en svala, stilla,
kvittrade till hela gården,
fadern kallade med sången.
Bem Mestre bem, bem Mestre bem
Lí na curral ovelha dja pare
Cordero dja naci Natal dja txiga.
Όλα στο φως απόψε
λένε την ίδια παντού ευχή.
Όλα στο φως απόψε
λένε την ίδια παντού ευχή.
να'ρθει το χελιδονάκι
καλή τύχη να μας φέρει.
Oh mon Seigneur, ouvre ton cœur
Jette ton regard sur ta maison
Quelques brebis ont deja mis
Bas des agneaux.
Ének, ének, énekecske,
leszállt hozzánk a kis fecske.
Vola, piccola rondine
Una colomba in cielo ti guiderà,
Vola, piccola rondine
Un canto libero amore qui porterà
Le campane della nuova vita,
Le campane della nuova vita!
Ta dragocen zarod je tvoj,
zanj boš prejel grošev nebroj
ali pa plev - dvigajo se
črne obrví ženine.
Chodź, chodź, gospodarzu,
popatrz, popatrz na zagrοdę,
owieczki się okociły.
U nevo berš, bas men ne del,
mijrnijpe ne ul, tena niko rul,
u anjali ne aul, ovaha khetaun.
Izađi, moj gospodaru,
pogledaj u svoju štalu,
ovce ti se ojagnjile.
Izađi, moj gospodaru,
pogledaj u svoju štalu,
ovce ti se ojagnjile!
All of your wares are very fine
Coins you will have in a big pile!
Shchedryk, shchedryk, shchedrivocka!
