Common lyrics of Čujte, čujte pastieri with an English translation

Čujte, čujte, pastieri, čo sa stalo na nebi,
Hear, hear, o shepherds, of what has happened in the sky,

nad Betlémom jasná noc oznamuje Božiu moc
the sparkling night over Bethlehem shows the power of our Lord

Dnes sa Ježiš Kristus narodil, aby nás z hriechu oslobodil
Today, Jesus Christ was born to free us from the shackles of sin.

Božie, malé, drahé dieťa, spievame Ti, prosíme Ťa, žehnaj nás.
Oh, God’s dear little child, we sing to You, we pray to You, bless us.

O polnoci zrodila, do jasličiek vložila,
She gave birth at midnight, and placed him in the cradle,

krásna panna prečistá, synáčka svojho Krista
our beautiful and pure Virgin, with her dear son, Christ

Ježiško náš drahý zrodený, svet Ťa zvelebuje spasený.
Baby Jesus, our dear, you were born and the world you saved sings your praise.

Poďme bratia nemeškajme, Ježiškovi sa klaňajme, malému.
Let’s go, brothers, waste no time, and kneel down in front of our BabyJesus

Hor sa bratia, vstávajte,
Up, dear brothers, you shall rise

Bohu vďaky vzdávajte,
And thank God for his gifts,

že sa sveta Pán zrodil, aby nás oslobodil
that the Lord of our world was born to free us.
