Lyrics - Croatian
(Croatian folk song)
Radujte se narodi, kad čujete glas,
da se Isus porodi u blaženi čas.
//Svaki narod čuj, čuj,
i Betlemu pristupljuj, pristupljuj.// (repeat)
Vidi Božje otajstvo u podrtoj štalici
I tko trpi uboštvo na toj tvrdoj slamici.
//To otajstvo čuj, čuj,
i k jaslicam pristupljuj! Pristupljuj!// (repeat)
Raduje se Marija s Josipom gledeći
Anđeo pjeva “Glorija” po zraku leteći
//I ti, svijete čitavi,
Spasitelja pozdravi! Pozdravi!// (repeat)
English Translation – Rejoice peoples
Be happy, people, when you hear the voice
about Jesus being born at the blessed moment.
//Every nation, hear it, hear it
and access to Bethlehem, access.// (repeat)
See mystery of God in the demolished stable
and who suffers stabbing on that hard straw.
//Hear, hear that mystery
and access to the crèche! Access!// (repeat)
Mary is happy with Joseph while watching
Angel is singing “Glory” while flying in the air
//And you, the whole world,
greet Savior! Greet!// (repeat)
