Day 8 - A Czech Christmas Carol
I'm running a little behind today! So here's a carol from Eastern Europe, The Czech Republic specifically - Sel Bych Rad K Betlemu (I go to Bethlehem). As always, a varied selection of performances. Happy Snow Day!
Sel bych rád k Betlému
Sel bych rád k Betlému, I go to Bethlehem,
k Ježíšku malému. To see the tiny King;
Mám doma křepeličku My black rooster, trimmed and sleek,
A pěknou žežuličku: My cuckoo with song so sweet:
Ty mu odvedu. These well I give Him.
Bude žežulička, Rooster will crow away,
Vyrážet Ježíška. Making the Baby gay;
U hlavičky jeho sedávat, Cuckoo perching near is sacred head,
Líbezně mu bude kůkávat, Calling softly will make His heart glad:
Ty mu odvedu. These well I give Him.
ku, kuku, ku, kuku. Coo,coo-coo! Coo-coo-coo!
Zdráv budiz Ježíšku! Jesus, He sings for you!
