Common lyrics of Vstávajte, pastieri with an English translation

Vstávajte, pastieri, berte sa hor’,
Rise, shepherds, to the hills, hear songs of yore!
aká to novina, dajte pozor!
Good news, our King is here, right at the door!
Aké to zázraky javia sa na nebi!
Miracles glimmering, quiet and beautiful
Nikdy som nevidel, jak som starý,
Heavenly lights are bright, shining above
na nebi vysokom takej žiary.
I’ve waited all my life, now comes God’s love.

Len sa ma nebojte, pastuškovia,
Don’t be afraid, shepherds, I will not bite
prichádzam k vám ako anjel Slova,
I am an archangel, bringing God’s might.
aby som vám zvestil, že sa nám narodil
Hear the jolly news, hear! Our King was born!
Mesiáš v Betléme: Ježiš malý,
Jesus in Bethlehem, glorious Lord
ktorého oddávna ste čakali.
You were expecting him as you were told

Iďte a nájdete Kráľa kráľov,
Go and find King of Kings that was just born
Ježiška malého, Pána Pánov;
Jesus, the little child, Lord of all lords,
v mestečku Betléme v jasličkách na slame,
Lying down in the hay somewhere in Bethlehem.
leží náš Spasiteľ narodený,
Kneel down in front of him, Saviour, our Lord,
v chudobných plienočkách položený.
Humble and beautiful, as was foretold
