A Serbian Christmas hymn by Saint Nikolai Velimirović. Arranged by Milan Djurdjević.
Noć prekrasna i noć tija,
nad pećinom zvezda sija,
u pećini mati spi,
nad Isusom andjel bdi.
Beautiful night, peaceful night,
Above the cave a star is shining
In the cave a mother is sleeping
An angel keeps vigil over Jesus.
Andjeli pevaju,
pastiri sviraju,
andjeli pevaju
mudraci javljaju:
Što narodi čekaše,
što proroci rekoše,
evo sad se u svet javi,
u svet javi i objavi:
Rodi nam se Hristos Spas
za spasenje sviju nas.
Aliluja, aliluja,
Gospodi pomiluj!
Angels are singing,
Shepherds are playing,
Angels are singing,
Sages announce
What the people have awaited,
What the prophets have foretold.
And now the world responds,
The world responds and declares:
Christ our Savior is born
for the salvation of all of us.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Lord have mercy!
