I have long went out in the winter darkness
Eastern star,
But did not forget on earth
The birth of Christ.
How the shepherds came to him
Until the morning
How the sages presented
He is his gifts.
How the king of babies killed,
Awarding the killer,
How the Angel Sent saved
The sacred child.
How, preaching love,
And the truth of the deity,
He was born again every year
For the holiday of Christmas.
This night is holy,
This night of salvation
I announced the whole world
The secret of the goddess.
Shepherdies at the herd
They did not sleep that night.
The Holy Angel flew to them
From the heavenly bright Dali.

Come from afar,
Once a year
We admire the hour.

With a prickly cold,
With white snow,
With a blizzard, with snowstorms.

Drive themselves -
From the village to the village
Kolyada is cheerful.
Russian folk carols for Christmas for adults: Poems and songs
Oh, dance, dance for expensive
Maybe give a sludge.
Oh, little, little, it was gone!
Oh, jump, jump, I want silver!
Once you have a son, give me a head of cheese.
Once you have a daughter, give me honey a barrel.
If not rich, drive out of the hut
At least a log, at least a broom, at least a crooked poker
Rich men,
Open the chests,
Get the pits
If there is no patch
Then give a pie.
Do not give a pie
I am a cow by the horns
I will lead to Torzhok,
I will sell for a pie there.
I sow, I sow, I sow, congratulations on the carlyad,
I wish you happiness, joy.
I sow, I am, I bring, barley, I sprinkle, live,
So that it is disfigured in the field, so that it doubled in the stable,
So that the children grow up to get married girls.
I sow, I am, I sow, I wish you happiness, happiness.
Who will give us a cake, that is a complete stable of livestock,
Sheep with oats, a stallion with a tail.
Who will not give the pie, that is the smoking leg,
Pest and shovel, a cow of the hunchback.

We never get sick.
The wives of the dispute are being started -
Naked flying into the yard.

We’ll wave the lips - we will tell you about your house.
In your house - four corners,
In every corner - three fellows:
Good, comfort, peace live.
A girl walks from corner to corner -
On the floor, the braid is creeping -
The girl is called - Love,
Your shelter holds on it!
If you are generously rewarded,
You will save happiness in the house!
Let's leave with gifts from the yard -
The bins will be full!
At least a candy, at least a nickle -
We won’t leave just like that!

From the grain to him - the rug,
From the semiz zern - pie!

On the game, on the gatherings.

Give you, Lord, forty cows, fifty piglets,
Yes, forty chicken.

We will reproach!
