ANONYMOUS – Novi Radist’ Stala & The Moon is in the Heavens




Нова радість стала,


Нова радість стала,
Яка не бувала,
Над вертепом звізда ясна
У весь світ засіяла.

Де Христос родився,
З Діви воплотився,
Як чоловік пеленами
Убого повився.

Пастушки з ягнятком
Перед тим дитятком
На колінця припадають,
Царя-Бога вихваляють.

Ой Ти, Царю, Царю,
Небесний Владарю,
Даруй літа щасливії
Сего дому господарю.

Сего дому господарю
І сій господині,
Даруй літа щасливії
Нашій славній Україні.



A New Joy Has Come


A new joy has come,

Unlike any before,

Above the manger a bright star

Has shone its light o'er all the world.


Where Christ was born,

From the Virgin incarnate made,

As a man in swaddling clothes

He was humbly wrapped.


The shepherds with their lambs

Before that little Child

Fall upon their knees,

Praising God, the King.


O Thou, King of kings,

Heavenly Sovereign Lord,

Grant many happy years

To the master of this house.


To the master of this house

And to this gracious lady,

Grant many happy years

To our glorious Ukraine.




The Moon is in the Heavens


The Moon is in the heavens, sparkle the stars above,

Quietly on the sea there floats a boat.

In the boat's a maiden, a song she does sing there,

A Kozak does hear it - his dear heart dies.


The song's beloved, the song is so loved,

All about loving, all about love

How we have loved, and had broken up,

Now come together forever again.


My eyes, my eyes, eyes of a maiden,

Dark, like the night, bright, like the day!

You oh dear eyes have taught me to cry and weep,

Where have you learned - to mislead people ?
