The Christmas Eve is
the day in which everywhere in Romania,
you can hear traditional carols sung from house to house by children during the day and by adults
in the evening and night, until Christmas day dawn. It's our way to welcome the Nativity of Jesus.

Please allow me to carol Park Si Hoo and everyone of you as Park Si Hoo fans family, with gratitude for all what we share. Thank you for your generosity to receive a Romanian traditional carol in your space.
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!
The carol is a folk creation named 'The Heaven and Earth"
and is sung by Stefan Hrusca. I translated the lyrics to
understand its message.
The Heaven and Earth,
The Heaven and Earth
The Heaven and Earth
By song resound.
Angels and people,
Angels and people,
Angels and people are singing together.
Chorus:
Christ is born,
The Lord descends,
Angels are singing,
The Magi adore him,
Shepherds run the manger surround,
Great miracles occurred.
The Lord descends,
Angels are singing,
The Magi adore him,
Shepherds run the manger surround,
Great miracles occurred.
Shepherds run the manger surround,
Great miracles occurred.
Great miracles occurred.
Today in Bethlehem,
Today in Bethlehem,
It's great miracle.
The Virgin,
It's great miracle.
The Virgin,
The Virgin brings Son into
the world.
Chorus ...
From East come,
From East come
The Magi with joy.
With gift of myrrh,
With gift of myrrh,
With gift of myrrh, gold and frankincense.
Chorus ...
From Heaven the Word,
From Heaven the Word
In flesh it shows.
The night from world,
In flesh it shows.
The night from world,
The night from world becomes day right off.
Chorus ...
Christ is
born,
Christ is born
Come to pay homage him
With cheerful soul,
With cheerful soul,
With cheerful soul, joyful hymn.
Chorus ...
Thank you for sharing some of the Romanian tradition about Christmas. The song sounds very peaceful. Thanks for the English translation. It's really a beautiful post.^^
ReplyDeleteDaniela, Thank you for sharing this traditional Chirstmas song for us. I agree with Wilma, it's so peaceful! I can picture neighbors knock to other neighbors' door and sing this song for them. In America or n the big city you won't see something like this much. People came from difference part of the world. It's hard to keep tradition alive in this present time. And when I hear this music, it makes me sad that what people missing nowaday! Peace & Merry Christmas to you and your family in Romania!
ReplyDeleteThank you Wilma and Nikki for your comments. I wanted to share a peaceful present moment that everyone feel the true spiritual meaning of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your families too. May you have a wonderful time together.
