Lyrics (Polish)
1. Mizerna, cicha,
Stajenka licha,
Pełna niebieskiej chwały;
Oto leżący,
Przed nami śpiący,
W promieniach Jezus mały.
2. Nad nim Anieli
W locie stanęli
I pochyleni klęczą;
Z włosy złotymi
Z skrzydły białymi
Pod malowaną tęczą.
3. Wielkie zdziwienie,
Wszelkie stworzenie,
Cały świat orzeźwiony;
Mądrość Mądrości,
Światłość światłości,
Jezus wcielony.
4. I oto mnodzy
Ludzie ubodzy
Radzi oglądać Pana;
Pełni natchnienia,
Pełni zbawienia,
Upadli na kolana.
5. Lulaj dziecino,
Lulaj ptaszyno,
Nasze umiłowanie;
Gdy się rozbudzi,
W tej rzeszy ludzi,
Zbawienie nam się stanie.
6. Hej! Ludzie prości,
Bóg z nami gości,
Skończony czas niedoli.
On daje siebie
Chwała na niebie,
Pokój ludziom dobrej woli.
7. Długo czekali,
Długo wzdychali,
Aż niebo rozgorzało,
Piekło zawarte,
Niebo otwarte,
Słowo ciałem się stało.
8. Śpi jeszcze senne
Dziecię promienne,
W ciszy ubogiej strzechy;
Na licach białych,
Na ustach małych,
Migają się uśmiechy.
9. Jako w kościele
Choć ludzi wiele
Cisza pobożna wieje;
Oczy się roszą
Dusze się wznoszą,
Płyną w serca nadzieje.
10. Oto Maryja,
Czysta lilija,
Przy niej Staruszek drżący,
Stoją przed nami,
Przed pastuszkami,
Tacy uśmiechający.
11. Radość na ziemi,
Bo nad wszystkimi,
Roztacza blask rumiany.
Przepaść rozwarta,
Upadek czarta,
Zstępuje Pan nad pany.
English Translation
Miserable, quiet,
Humble stable,
Full of heavenly glory;
Here lying,
Sleeping before us,
In the rays, little Jesus.
Above Him,
Angels In flight stood,
And, bowing, they kneel;
With golden hair,
With white wings,
Under a painted rainbow.
Great amazement,
All creation,
The whole world refreshed;
Wisdom of Wisdom,
Light of lights,
Jesus incarnate.
And here, the young ones
Poor people
Glad to see the Lord;
Full of inspiration,
Full of salvation,
They fell to their knees.
Lullaby, little child,
Lullaby, little bird,
Our beloved one;
When He awakens,
In this crowd of people,
Our salvation will come.
Hey! Simple people,
God as a guest with us,
The time of misery has ended.
He gives Himself,
Glory in heaven,
Peace to people of goodwill.
They waited long,
They sighed long,
Until the sky ignited,
Hell enclosed,
Heaven opened,
The Word became flesh.
He still sleeps dreamily,
The radiant child,
In the humble stable’s silence;
On white cheeks,
On little lips,
Smiles flicker.
Like in church,
Though many people,
A devout silence prevails;
Eyes become moist,
Souls rise,
Hopes flow into hearts.
Here is Mary,
Pure lily,
With the trembling old man beside her,
They stand before us,
Before the shepherds,
Smiling like this.
Joy on earth,
For above all,
Spreads a rosy glow.
The abyss is opened,
The devil’s fall,
The Lord descends among lords.
