Nana Mouskouri: Christmas Carols ~ Κάλαντα Χριστουγέννων.

Показать описание
Christmas carols narrate the facts surrounding the birth of Christ and the Homage of the Magi.. Invariably, they praise the home and the family with good wishes for the household and its prosperity. In Greece on Christmas Eve (Dec.24), groups of children go from house to house in their neighborhood singing the carols. The singing is accompanied by the playing of triangles. Householders hear them through and reward the children with a small amount of money or traditional sweets of the season. Christmas carols are sung all over Greece and are distinguished by several regional versions.. The well-known text that is still sung nowadays is the following, with the first three stanzas being the most popular.
GOOD DAY NOBLEMEN
Good day to you noblemen
And if it is your wish
In praise here at your mansion,
Of Jesus' birth I'll sing.
Jesus Christ was born today
in the town of Bethlehem
The skies above rejoicing
All nature is satisfied.
In a cave he was born
And in a manger laid
The king of all the skies above
And maker of all things.
Angelic hosts are singing
All glory be to God
And holy be to angels
And to their faithfulness.
Good day to you noblemen
And if it is your wish
In praise here at your mansion,
Of Jesus' birth I'll sing.

Καλήν Ημέραν Άρχοντες
Καλήν ημέραν άρχοντες,
Κι αν εί- κι αν είναι ορισμός σας
Χριστού την θεία γέννηση
Να πω- να πω στ' αρχοντικό σας.
Χριστός γεννάται σήμερον
Εν Βη- εν Βηθλεέμ τη πόλη,
Οι ουρανοί αγάλλονται,
Χαίρε- χαίρετ' η φύσις όλη.
Εν τω σπηλαίω τίκτεται,
Εν φά- εν φάτνη των αλόγων,
Ο βασιλεύς των ουρανών
Και ποι- και ποιητής των όλων.
Πλήθος αγγέλων ψάλλουσι
το Δόξα εν Υψίστοις
και τούτο άξιον εστί
η των αγγέλων πίστις.
