Angels Sing

A Serbian Christmas Song lyrics by St. Nikolai Velimirovich
Andjeli Pevaju
Noc prekrasna i noc tija,
nad pecinom zvezda sija,
u pecini mati spi,
nad Isusom andjel bdi.
Andjeli pevaju,
pastiri sviraju,
andjeli pevaju
mudraci javljaju:
Sto narodi cekase,
sto proroci rekose,
evo sad se u svet javi,
u svet javi i objavi:
Rodi nam se Hristos Spas
za spasenje sviju nas.
Aliluja, aliluja,
Gospodi pomiluj!
(deep voice) no matter what you are doing, spin threads for heaven!
Angels Sing (lyrics)
the night so grand and placid,
a star shining over the cave,
the mother sleeping in the cave,
where the angel of Jesus hast been.
the angels are singing,
the sheperds are fluting,
the angels are singing,
the wise bring it forth:
what the nations awaited,

WOW. As I watched, I couldnt help comparing this to MTV, which I occasionally
see at the gym. Well, I can dream.
Connie says:
Beautiful.
NAL says:
The streams of light through the window, the white clothes, the snow, the donkey,
the loaf of bread wonderful images of the mystery, the holiness, the simplicity of
what God has done for mankind through the Incarnation. We can never come to the end of the
depth of its meaning!
michaelcook says:
Thank You Father Stephen,
What a beautiful gift this carol is. Imagine, that from the zeal and fervor of Cyril and Methodius,
the Gospel went North to the lands of the Slavs to ensure that all of us who sit in darkness
might come to know the Light of Jesus. In fact, those who sing in this video are perhaps the
direct descendents of that mission work?
Your blog is a gift to us. Your blog is my daily school for the soul. I learn and grow so much.
Thank you, and when tempted to stop or to imagine that you are not impacting people; please
know that you are.
This will be the first Nativity celebration for our family as Orthodox. Glory to God for all things.
Mike
Gail Hyatt says:
Thank you Fr. Stephen. I will add this to my collection of beautiful Christmas music.
(Do you know if there is a CD recording?)
This year I have been captivated by A NEW JOY Orthodox Christmas by the Estonian
Philharmonic Chamber Choir. It can be purchased on iTunes.
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!

The group which produced this Christmas Hymn is the same Serbian group which
produced the Pascha video (Christos Voskrese, Radost Donese). The lyrics were
written by St. Nikolai of Zicha, one of most remarkable saints of the 20th century. These small
videos, to me, demonstrate the riches (including contemporary riches) of the Orthodox faith,
and the possibilities as Orthodox cultures are renewed. The difficulties faced by this renewal
cannot be overstated but the life of the Church is certainly bearing fruit in lands where it had
been suppressed. We should always remember to pray for the Church everywhere. The riches
of the faith which those of us in America have inherited, are not simply exports of the past, but
of a continuing and renewing life which is also bearing fruit in the Church in this land. It is a
single, common struggle in which we share.

Father,
Thank you for posting this beautiful song. Thanks everybody for the kind words. May the joy of
Christmas elevate us all to the true moments of fullness. Gratitude from Serbia.
Steve says:
!to narodi "eka#e,
#to proroci reko#e.
Amen!
fatherstephen says:
Dejan,
I give thanks to God for you as a reader of the blog. Without your contribution I would never
have discovered these beautiful films and songs. May God continue to bring forth such fragrant
blossoms from the Holy Orthodox Church of Serbia!
Carlyn says:
Father, I enjoy the studio version of this song even more. Its so wonderful to
watch and listen to that Ive almost memorized the words!
Darla says:
Another asked and I will echo: Is there perhaps a CD available? Absolutely lovely.
fatherstephen says:
I do not know on the CD. Dejan might know (our beloved Serbian reader). Dejan,
are you know of a CD by this group on the Youtube videos? Are they called by a
particular name?
David says:
Enchanting and upbeat!
Could a Serbian speaker please send be the following words spoken at the end of the piece?
I havent yet found the Sebian lyrics only the English I am hoping they are accurate.
Joy, Soul, Passion, Honor, Jesus, Faith, Hope, Salvation, Peace, Repentance, the Lord,
Calmness, Love, Charity, Harmony.
Thank you so much. It would help me to enjoy the piece even more.

David,
Here are the words you asked for:
Radost, Dusa, Ljubav, Postenje, Isus, Vera, Nada, Spasenje, Mir, Pokajanje, Gospod,
Smirenje, Ljubav, Blagost, Spokoj.
in Cyrillic this is:
Papocf, yua, yae, Roufene, Hcyc, Bepa, Hapa, Cnacene, Mup, Rokajane, Focnop,
Crupene, yae, Enarocf, Cnokoj.
One of the ways to translate this in English would be:
Joy, Soul, Love, Honesty, Jesus, Faith, Hope, Salvation, Peace, Repentance, the Lord,
Pacification, Gentleness, Serenity.
What is very difficult for me to translate into English is word Smirenje; it is one of most
important words in Orthodoxy, and it has its origin in St. Matthew 11:29 there smiren is
translated as humble but in Serbian we have another word for humility, it is poniznost. So,
smirenje is a kind of verbal noun that indicates a process of acquiring inner peace that is
why I translated it (perhaps clumsily) as pacification (Calmness is also good word, if it is
understood as a process and not as finished product). Surely, it is closely connected with
humility.
Thank you for your kind words,
Dejan

Father and others,
This song was made by joint effort of various musicians, actors, and music group Stupovi
(Pillars). Music group Pillars specializes in playing and singing Serbian traditional music.
I am not sure if you can find this song on their CDs, but I found homepage of this music group,
so surely they can offer more accurate answer about any question concerned this song or
video. Here is the link:
http://www.muzickisastavstupovi.com/
Thanks everybody for kind words about the song I like this video too, and also the studio
version is beautiful.
David says:
Dejan / ejau,
Thank you so much for your reply it means a lot to me. I am actually learning to decipher the
Cyrillic alphabet (or Acrylic alphabet as one chorus member said! she is 83!).
Do you know where I could obtain sheet music for Andjeli Pevaju? I have, so far been unable to
find it online.
I may be able to get it here in a Serbian community here in British Columbia, Canada, if I knew
what kind of book it is in like a hymn book?
Thanks and kindest regards,
David Constable
ejau says:
David,
For learning Cyrillic the best thing would be to find software which can play a sound and then
you enter the letter as an answer in a quiz. If you do it that way, you will learn very fast
although I dont know if such software exists, I used similar free software when I was trying to
learn Japanese Hiragana and it went very fast because in Hiragana every letter (symbol) is
mostly consisted of 2 sounds, and in Serbian Cyrillic it is one letter one sound (not so in other
Cyrillic alphabets). Here is the song for you to practice, I have never seen actual lyrics in
songbook but this is how I hear it last time when I wrote lyrics down unfortunately I did not pay
attention to capital letters and now I consulted few books by St. Nikolai, and he always writes
Mother of God with capital M, so I guess here it is also (Mati).
Auqenu Reeajy
Hoh npekpacua u uoh fuja,
uap nehuuor seespa cuja.
Y nehuuu Mafu cnu,
uap Hcycor auqen pu.
Auqenu neeajy,
nacfupu ceupajy.
Auhenu neeajy
ryppauu jaenajy:
Lfo uapopu ekaue,
ufo npopouu pekoue.
Eeo cap ce y ceef jaeu,
y ceef jaeu u ojaeu:
Popu uar ce Xpucfoc Cnac
sa cnacene ceujy uac.
Anunyja, anunyja,
Focnopu norunyj!
I dont know how to help you with sheet music, but since melody is not complicated you can ask
someone who plays guitar or piano well, to write down chords and notes for you. It should be
simple.
I am glad to hear that 83 years old people have inspiration to sing in the choir it is such
shining example that the heart may remain younger than the youngest despite how many
earthly years we have. (I like Acrylic:)

Just a wonderful moving song for the holidays. Our church choir sings this song at
its Christmas concert and its always a hit! Enjoy and remember its the birth of our
Savor and not gifts and Santa that we rejoice this time of the year.
Marta says:
Dear father Stephen,
could you help me with the text spoken at the beginning of the song? We cant
understand the words by listening. Thank you very much.
Marta
