In The Dark Night

Ukrainian

V temnuyu nichku, nad Vyfleyemom,
Yasna zorya ziyshla, svitlom zemlyu pokryla.
Prechysta Diva, svyata Nevista,
V vertepi bidnomu Synochka zrodyla.

Spii, Isuse, spii, Malenky,
Spii, Ty, zirochko, moya.
Tvoyu dolyu, miy mylenky,
Tobi spivayu ya.

Nizhno tsiluvala, pelenoyu vkryla,
Poklala spaty, tykho pisnyu zavela:
Vyrostesh, Ty, Synku, stanesh Ty doroslym,
U sviti pidesh, Dytynochka Moya.

Spii, Isuse, spii, Malen’kyy,
Spii, Ty, zirochko, moya.
Tvoyu dolyu, miy mylen’kyy,
Tobi spivayu ya.

Lyubov Hospodnyu i Bozhu pravdu
Ty, svitom viry, lyudyam svoyim poenesesh,
Pravda bude zhyty,
hrikha okovy rozib’ye
No na Holhofi, umre Dytyatko moye.

Spii, Isuse, spii, Malenky,
Spii, Ty, zirochko, moya.
Tvoyu dolyu, miy mylenky,
Tobi spivayu ya.

Spii, Isuse, spii, malenky,
Spii,Ty, miy rozhevyy tsvit
I z nadiyeyu na Tebe
Dyvytsya uves’ svit!

English

In the dark night, above Bethlehem,
a bright star shined out, covering the Holy Land.
The Most Pure Virgin, the Holy Bride,
in a poor cave gave birth to a Son.

Sleep Jesus, sleep my little baby,
Sleep my little star,
About your fate, my little sweet,
To you I will sing.

She gently kissed and swaddled him,
She put him to bed, and quietly started to sing,
You will grow up, my Son, you’ll become a grown-up,
And you will go out into the world, my baby.

Sleep Jesus, sleep my sweet little baby,
Sleep my little star,
About your fate, my little sweet,
To you I will sing.

The Love of the Lord and God’s truth,
You will bring faith to the world, to your people,
The truth will live on,
the shackles of sin will be shattered,
But on Golgotha, my child will die.

Sleep Jesus, sleep my sweet little baby,
Sleep my little star,
About your fate, my little sweet,
To you I will sing.

Sleep, Jesus, sleep my sweet little baby,
Sleep my rose blossom,
With hope on You
The entire world is watching!
