Christmas carols for children. Short, long, funny, carol texts

Happy great holiday,
Affectionate owner,
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born.
We are coming to you, master,
With good news.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born.
With good news
From the holy city.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born.

Kalidim, Kalidim I am alone with my dad,
My dad sent me
So that I can get bread.
I don’t want bread, give me some sausage,
If you don't give me the sausage, I'll destroy the whole house.

The owner and the hostess
Get off the stove
Light the candles!
Open the chests
Get your heels out!
For your amusement,
We're screwed!

A star is shining in the sky,
At the hour of Holy Christmas...
Kolyada came,
I went around all the houses,
I knocked on doors and windows,
She walked and laughed and played...
And behind the noisy Kolyada,
carolers in a crowd...
Everyone rejoices and laughs,
they sing a loud song:
“The carol was born,
on the eve of Christmas..."

God bless whoever is in this house.
We wish good things to all people:
Gold, silver,
Lush pies,
Soft pancakes
Good health,
Cow butter.

Today an Angel has descended upon us
And he sang: “Christ is born!”
We came to glorify Christ,
And congratulate you on the holiday.
Here we go, shepherds,
All our sins are forgiven.
We make our way to home,
We glorify Christ God.

Christ the Savior
Born at midnight.
In a poor den
He settled.
Here above the nativity scene
The star is shining.
Christ the Master,
On your birthday
Give it to all the people
World of enlightenment!

Kolyada arrived on the eve of Christmas.
Give me the cow, the oil head!
Standing on the window, looking at me.
Serve the pancake, the oven will go smoothly!
Kolyada, Kolyada, give me some pie!
Damn and a cake in the back window!
The New Year has come, the old one has been stolen, and it has shown itself.
Go, people, meet the sun,
Drive away the frost!
And whoever is in this house - God forbid!
He gets octopus from the ear,
From grain - a carpet for him,
Half-grain pie!
God reward you
And live and be!

Happy Christmas Day!

Celebrate, have fun
People are kind to me
And be clothed with delight
In the robe of holy joy.
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Now God has appeared in the world -
God of gods and King of kings.
Not in a crown, not in purple
This Heavenly Priest.
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

He was not born in the wards
And not in cleaned houses.
There was no gold to be seen there,
Where He lay in swaddling clothes.
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Inconceivable He fit
In a cramped manger, like a poor man.
Why was He born?
Why is it so poor?
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

In order to save us
From the devil's snares
Exalt and glorify
Us with your love
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Let us praise God forever
For such a day of celebration!
Let me congratulate you
Happy Christmas Day!
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Celebrate, have fun
People are kind to me
And be clothed with delight
In the robe of holy joy
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Nativity,
An angel has arrived.
He flew across the sky
He sang a song to people:
You people rejoice,
Everyone celebrate today,
Today is Christmas Day!"
Shepherds in the cave
The first ones came
And the Child of God
Found with Mother.
We stood and prayed
They worshiped Christ
Today is Christmas!
We have all sinned
Savior, before You.
We are all sinners,
You alone are a saint.
Forgive my sins
Give us some space
Today is Christmas!

The sparrow flies
Twirls his tail,
And you people know
Cover the tables
Receive guests
Happy Christmas!

Hello, treats
Please accept congratulations!
You will live together for up to two hundred years!
I wish you happiness and good health!
Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year!
May the Lord grant you
And we live and be,
And wealth in everything,
And God grant you, gentlemen,
Good health for many years to come!

Good evening to you,
Affectionate owner,
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born into the world.
We are coming to you, master,
With good news.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born into the world.
With good news
From the holy city.
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born into the world.

The night is silent over Palestine...

The night is silent over Palestine.
The tired earth sleeps.
Mountains, groves and valleys
The darkness of the night hid everything.
The darkness of the night hid everything.

In weary Bethlehem
All the lights have gone out,
Only in a distant field
The shepherds did not sleep.
The shepherds did not sleep.

The herd was counted correctly,
They circled the night watch,
And, having sat down, they tied the knot
Conversation among ourselves.
Conversation among ourselves.

The shepherds were overcome with trepidation,
And in snow-white clothes
An angel of God appeared to them.
An angel of God appeared to them.

From Heavenly Father
I come with great news
May your hearts rejoice.
May your hearts rejoice.

Sends mercy to people
Christ Himself, the Lord-King.
Wanting to save the sinful world,
He gave Himself as a sacrifice.
He gave Himself as a sacrifice.

The night is silent over Palestine.
The tired earth sleeps.
Mountains, groves and valleys
The darkness of the night hid everything.
The darkness of the night hid everything.

Kolyada, Kolyada,
It's Christmas Eve!
Good auntie,
The pie is delicious
Don't cut, don't break,
Serve it quickly
Two, three,
We've been standing for a long time
Let us not stand!
The stove is heating up
I want some pie!

You, master, don’t be tormented,
Give it quickly!
What about the current frost?
Doesn't tell me to stand for long
Orders to serve soon:
Either pies come out of the oven,
Or a penny of money,
Or a pot of cabbage soup!
God bless you
A yard full of bellies!
And to the stables of horses,
Into the calf barn,
To the guys' hut
And take care of the kittens!

Open the chest - take out the penny!

Virgin Mary

I. Boldysheva.

Chant

And I saw His smile for the first time.

Little guy
He sat down on a sheaf.
plays the pipe,
The carol amuses me.

Won't you give me cheesecakes?
You'll get it on top of your head!
Won't you give me the pie?
I'll lead the cow by the horns.

Kolyada, Kolyada,
Give me some pie
Or a loaf of bread,
Or half a buck,
Or a chicken with a crest,
Cockerel with a comb!
Open the chests, owners,
Take out your heels!
Give a penny to the Carolers!

Kolyada, they say poison,
The carol was born!
Who will serve the pie -
That's the yard of the belly,
More small cattle -
You wouldn't know the numbers!
And who won't give a penny -
Let's close up the loopholes
Who won't give you some cakes -
Let's block up the windows
Who won't give pie -
Let's take the cow by the horns,
Who will not give bread -
Let's take grandfather away
Who won't give ham -
Then we will split the cast iron!

Carols go on holy evenings,
The carol comes to Pavly-Selo.
Get ready, villagers,
Let's have carols!
Open the chest
Get out the piglet!
Open up, peddlers,
Get your pennies!
Come, don't be shy,
Now we'll amuse the people.
Who will be the devil and who will be the devil!
And who doesn't want anyone
Let him laugh for a nickel!

Today is a party
fortune telling,
skating!
Pancakes, pies, tea party,
And pranks and dates.
Winter is hurrying us up - hurry up!
Hurry up to see
hear,
participate!
Get dressed and leave your houses,
Carol, dance, joke!

The carol has arrived
On the eve of Christmas.
Give me a cow, an oil head,
And God forbid whoever is in this house
The rye is thick for him, the rye of a supper:
Him from the ear of octopus,
From the grain he has a carpet,
Half-grain pie.
The Lord would grant you
And life, and being, and wealth
And reward you, Lord,
Even better than that!

Affectionate owner,

Virgin Mary

Moderately

1. Here is a spruce in the forest, so green
And how beautiful she is
But how more beautiful she is,
When the house is full of candles,
She shines clearly.

2. On one of the joyful nights
The Lord Jesus was born.
He is the One who redeemed people
After all, without Him in your darkness
This world is lost.

3. For all who believe in Christ,
And at night the light shines.
And this night is holy for us,
May everyone's joy be pure,
Jesus is here.

4. Let Him, child, into your home:
He lives in the heart,
He wants to build a garden in it,
Will enrich him with fruit,
Who lets Him into the house?

Virgin Mary, Pure Mary,
Mother of the Pre-Chosen One, Beauty of the World,
Meek Lady, save Russia,
Pray to the Lord Christ for us sinners.

She sang a soft lullaby over the manger
And gently rocked Her Creator.
The first one looked meekly into His eyes,
The first one saw the light of His face.

You composed His first words in your heart
And I saw His smile for the first time.
She fled with Him from Herod’s anger to a distant land.
Pray Your Son for us sinners!

You pressed the Heavenly Child to your heart -
Before Him, you alone are pure, like snow.
In Bethlehem she swaddled the Lord in a manger -
On Calvary you stood at His cross.

O Immaculate One, who gave birth to the Messiah,
Holding the truth in Her hands, -
Pray to the Lord to save Russia,
And he will remember us sinners in the heavens above!

Nativity,
An angel has arrived.
He flew across the sky
He sang a song to people:

"You people, rejoice,
Everyone celebrate today,
Today is Christmas Day!"

Shepherds in the cave
The first ones came
And the Child of God
Found with Mother.

We stood and prayed
They worshiped Christ
Today is Christmas!

We have all sinned
Savior, before You.
We are all sinners,
You alone are a saint.

Forgive my sins
Give us some space
Today is Christmas!

1. In the land of Judea stands Bethlehem,
The star above the nativity scene shines low.
The skies are shining, the angels are singing,

2. The shepherdesses were guarding the flock in the field,
The Blessed Virgin was found in a cave.
And they came to the cave to give food to the herd.
And they look into the manger - there is the Mother of God.

3. The little baby is wrapped in swaddling clothes
The Blessed Virgin lies in her arms, -
She pressed him to her chest and fed him
And tenderly caresses his Son.

4. O Lord God our Creator,
Bless us all every hour.
The skies are shining, the angels are singing,
Glory is given to the Eternal God.

Celebrate, have fun
People are kind to me
And be clothed with delight
In the robe of holy joy.
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Now God has appeared in the world -
God of gods and King of kings.
Not in a crown, not in purple
This Heavenly Priest.

In the poor manger invested.

He was not born in the wards
And not in cleaned houses.
There was no gold to be seen there,
Where He lay in swaddling clothes.
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Inconceivable He fit
In a cramped manger, like a poor man.
Why was He born?
Why is it so poor?
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

In order to save us
From the devil's snares
Exalt and glorify
Us with your love
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Happy Christmas Day!
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

Celebrate, have fun
People are kind to me
And be clothed with delight
In the robe of holy joy
Glory to the Born,
In the poor manger invested.

1. This night is holy, this night is salvation
Announced to the world
The Mystery of the Incarnation.

2. That night the shepherds did not sleep near the flock.
A bright angel flew to them
From the heavenly bright distance.

3. Great fear seized those children of the desert,
But he said to them: oh, do not be afraid, -
There is joy in the whole world now.

4. Where Christ was born for people’s salvation,
You go and have a look
To great humility.

5. And suddenly singing was heard from the heights of heaven:
Glory, glory to God in the highest,
There is good will on earth.

"Carols (in Russian)"

1.
Kolyada, Kolyada!
And sometimes there is a carol
On Christmas Eve
Kolyada has arrived
Christmas brought.

2.
And God forbid that
Who's in this house?
The rye is thick for him,
Dinner rye!
He's like an ear of octopus,
From the grain he has a carpet,
Half-grain pie.
The Lord would grant you
And living and being,
And wealth!

3.
Give you, Lord,
In the field of nature,
Threshed on the threshing floor,
Kvashni thickening,
There is sporin on the table,
Thicker sour cream
The cows are milked!

4.
You are such a pig, Tausen!
You've built a nest on an oak tree, Tausen!
Brought out the piglets.
Striped piglets
Let's go to the bitches
And one fell
Got into my truck
The spindle was broken.
The spindles are not sharpened -
Their heels are gilded.
Tausen!

5.
Oh, Bausen!
Our owner is rich
Rakes money with a shovel,
Sitting on a bench
Counts pennies
Sitting on a bench
Counts pins.
Oh, Bausen!

From Heavenly Father
I come with great news

There is silence in Bethlehem,
The meadows sleep and the herds sleep.
The night is brighter than ever -
There's a bright star in the sky
Lights up everything around:
Rivers, mountains, forest and meadow.

Chorus:
Peace and joy to all now.
Bethlehem is in every heart.

"For a star to burn like that,
We haven't seen it anywhere."
The shepherds spoke
Relaxing by the river.
Suddenly their fire went out -
The angel spread his wings.

Chorus:
Peace and joy, peace and joy,
Peace and joy to all now.
Peace and joy in every heart,
Bethlehem is in every heart.

"Oh, fear not, shepherds,
God came down to forgive sins.
He was born in a den now" -
And the Angel said the Name.
And everything around began to sing
Sky, mountains, forest and meadow.

Chorus:
Peace and joy, peace and joy,
Peace and joy to all now.
Peace and joy in every heart,
Bethlehem is in every heart.

The shepherds entered the den,
They found God in the manger.
The Virgin Mother sat nearby,
She looked at Her Child.
And everything around was shining:
Sky, mountains, forest and meadow.

Chorus:
Peace and joy, peace and joy,
Peace and joy to all now.
Peace and joy in every heart,
Bethlehem is in every heart.

Hello dear readers. Christmas has long been one of the most beloved holidays. For some time, the New Year displaced this date from the holiday calendar. But now the Christmas festival is revered no less than the New Year's. Former traditions are also returning, which they continued to follow in the outback. Caroling - the singing of special holiday songs - has long been an invariable accompaniment of Christmas. Carols are ritual chants. They traditionally contain congratulations, sincere wishes for well-being, wealth and health, as well as demands for treats. As a rule, young people and children took part in caroling.

They walked in whole groups, sometimes quite large, from house to house, carrying with them a special symbol - a star. Also always present were mummers who wrapped themselves in animal skins, put on homemade masks and even horns.

With rare exceptions, carolers were greeted joyfully, believing that their wishes for health and a bountiful harvest would certainly come true.

That’s why the guys didn’t leave empty-handed; their bags were always full of gifts. They mainly gave sweets, but some owners did not skimp on other products and even money.

Short Christmas carols for children

It is not surprising that the tradition of caroling dates back to the pre-Christian era. Scientists associate the singing of carols with a special Slavic holiday - Kolyada. This is a kind of pagan analogue of the modern New Year.

There are other versions of the appearance of the name, but this is the most likely. At first, deities and forces of nature were sung in songs.

And with the advent of Christianity, the chants received biblical content and began to serve the promotion of Christianity in Kievan Rus. An interesting fact is that carols have existed for a very long time and are transmitted mainly orally. But at the same time, many of them retained not only the words, but also the melody.

When to carol

It is customary to carol on Christmas Eve. This is the evening of January 6, or, as it is also called, Holy Evening. But, of course, you need to learn carols in advance. Also now there are New Year's carols, as well as mixed ones, in which they congratulate on both holidays.

So you can start caroling from the New Year and continue right up to the Epiphany. Many modern authors pay attention to composing Christmas songs and some of them are becoming quite popular. But the greatest value is still the ancient carols left to us as an inheritance from our ancestors.

Probably everyone knows at least one carol. Many people went caroling with friends as children and even as adults they remember these special events with warmth. But it is not necessary to congratulate strangers with such chants.

Relatives will also be happy to hear carols in their home. Many of them are filled with deep meaning and contain sincere words of wishes. Therefore, learning carols is useful even for kids. It is for them that several examples of short options are presented. Let them sound in your home on Christmas evening, adding special color and solemnity to the holiday.

Carols for children at Christmas

Carols for children in Russian

Carols are distinguished by their beauty and melody. In addition, they have a special, ancient power. After all, many people still believe that the wishes heard in these Christmas songs will definitely come true and that thanks to such chants even fate can be changed. Who knows, maybe that’s why Slavic carols have spread all over the world.

Thus, the most popular carol song in the world, Carol Of The Bells, has Ukrainian roots. This is an old ritual Christmas song “Shchedryk”, arranged by the Ukrainian composer and conductor Nikolai Leontovich.

It was performed even in Soviet times, but only due to the fact that its text had no religious content. It would still be suitable today as a Christmas carol for children.

Here is the translation of “Shchedrik” into Russian:

Shchedrik, Shchedrik, Shchedrovochka,

A swallow has arrived.

I started chirping to myself,

Call the owner:

- Come out, come out, master,

Look at the sheep -

The sheep lambed there,

And the lambs were born

Your goods are all good,

You will have more than one penny,

Even if it’s not money, it’s sex.

Your wife has black eyebrows.

Shchedrik, Shchedrik, Shchedrovochka,

A swallow has arrived.

And this is another carol, which is performed to the same melody by many groups.

On a starry night Christ was born.

He was laid in a simple manger.

An angel descended from heaven into the field,

He announced the news to the shepherds:

“Rejoice, everyone - Christ has been born.

He was laid in a simple manger.”

Glory, glory, glory to God in the highest!

Goodwill to all people!

The angelic choir sang a song,

Peace on earth was proclaimed.

Here are more examples of carol songs for the Christmas holiday.

The night is silent, the night is holy,

People are sleeping, the distance is clear;

Only in the stable the light is on;

The holy couple does not sleep there,

The Child is dozing in the manger. The Child is dozing in the manger.

The night is silent, the night is holy,

The heights lit up

Bright Angel from heaven,

He brought news to the shepherds:

"Christ was born to you! Christ was born to you!”

The night is silent, the night is holy,

A star is burning in the sky;

The shepherds have been on their way for a long time,

They are in a hurry to come to Bethlehem:

They will see Christ there. They will see Christ there.

The night is silent, the night is holy,

All hearts await happiness.

God, let me come to Christ,

Find joy in the light in him.

Glory forever, Christ! Glory forever, Christ!

Merry carol

Kolyada, Kolyada...

And the woman has a beard.

And my grandfather grew a tail.

The scoundrel is running around in the garden.

Kolyada, Kolyada...

It doesn't matter to us.

God will give you full health.

The bins will be full.

Kolyada, Kolyada...

We dance all the years.

And also on all fours

We boldly climb the steps.

Kolyada, Kolyada...

It's okay that it's cold.

I'm healthy, I'll go into the cold,

I take a swim in the pond.

Kolyada, Kolyada...

Have fun, people, always!

After all, it’s not fitting for us to be sad,

Enjoying the little things in life.

Kolyada, Kolyada...

There is a candle and food on the table.

The cute Christmas tree is shining.

The Lord blesses everyone.

The texts of carols for children are long

Caroling in any one house could last up to several hours. The owners invited carolers, fed and watered them.

The cheerful feast alternated with festive singing. Of course, it will be difficult for children to learn so many carols at once. And this is hardly necessary.

Christmas carols for children have some special features. They should be simple, understandable and not too long. And, of course, they should not contain any “adult” hints.

And this is not uncommon for the category of cheerful and comic holiday songs, which are more reminiscent in meaning of not very decent folk ditties. Many of these carols are modern.

Below are examples of children's holiday carols.

On Christmas Day

Today an angel came down

And he sang: “Christ is born!”

Our song is simple -

We glorify Christ.

We're going straight

And we go into every house.

There's only one brighter in the sky

Guiding star -

Even in a storm among the clouds

Gives everyone a magic ray,

Heralds Christmas.

Let's start the celebration!

Christmas carol

Carol comes to us

On the eve of Christmas.

The carol asks, asks

At least a piece of the pie.

Who will give the carol a pie?

He will be there in every possible way!

The cattle will be healthy

The barn will be full of cows

Who will squeeze his piece,

It will be a lonely year.

Will not find luck, happiness,

The year will be spent in bad weather.

Don't feel sorry for the pie

Otherwise you'll create a debt!

At the hour of the Great Kolyada

We'll bake pies

At the hour of the Great Kolyada,

And let's go as a family to family,

We will bring joy to people.

Let us sing the praises of Christ,

Let the soul sing in the body,

May goodness come with goodness,

Brings bright happiness.

Our savior and creator,

Miracle of the Light blacksmith,

We glorify you

Always be with us.

Let us wish at this hour,

So that you have everything,

And patience and peace,

So that everyone values life.

Good evening to you,

Affectionate owner,

Rejoice, rejoice, earth,

The Son of God was born into the world.

We are coming to you, master,

With good news.

Rejoice, rejoice, earth,

The Son of God was born into the world.

With good news

From the holy city.

Rejoice, rejoice, earth,

The Son of God was born into the world.

New Year carols for children

New Year's carols can be sung not only on New Year's Eve. On January 13, the so-called Vasilyev's evening is celebrated, which is also called Generous.

Now this date is known as the Old New Year - a very strange concept for foreigners. And many of our compatriots consider this date a relic of the past, an atavism, an unnecessary holiday, devoid of any meaning.

But this is where they are deeply mistaken. Among other things, according to the church calendar, this is the day of remembrance of St. Melania. The people call the holiday Malanka (Melanka, Milanka). You've probably heard some of these names. At this time, the Nativity fast has already ended and you can celebrate to your heart's content.

Unlike Christmas, when it is believed that the year will be successful if a boy or boy enters the house first, here it is mainly girls who give generously. But young people, as they say, “drive Malanka.”

At the same time, one of them dresses up as a young lady, portraying the same Malanka. And special carols are used here - schedrovki. They generously wish the owners all sorts of blessings and promise their abundance in the new year.

The songs are accompanied by dancing, and comic scenes are played out. And whoever does not allow carolers into the house or drives them away, voluntarily refuses all these potential benefits.

This is done in the evening. And in the morning they go again to congratulate everyone on the holiday. They take grain with them and scatter it in the house.

The ceremony is accompanied by congratulations and good wishes. This is called “going to sow.” As a rule, they first go to relatives for this purpose, and later visit other houses. But here the girls come into the house after the boys or don’t go sowing at all.

Below are some suitable songs for New Year's caroling and sowing.

Kolyada, Kolyada,

Come from afar

Once a year

Let's admire it for an hour.

We're crackling with the frost,

With a prickly cold,

With white snows,

With a blizzard, with blizzards.

Scooters - sleighs

We drove ourselves -

From village to village,

Kolyada is fun.

We sow, we blow snow

On a silk bed.

The snow is falling,

The blizzard will break out!

Give it to you, master,

On New Year's Day:

There is offspring on the field,

On the threshing floor - threshed,

You will give us -

We will praise

And you won’t give -

We will scold.

Kolyada, Kolyada,

Give me some pie

Or a loaf of bread,

Or half a buck,

Or a chicken with a crest,

Cockerel with a comb!

Open the chests, owners,

Take out your heels!

Let's give it a penny

To the carolers!

The moon has shone in the sky,

He showed us the way.

Top-bottom –

Closer to the house.

The owner walked onto the porch,

He poured wine into a glass.

Only we don’t drink wine -

Give us a ruble!

Your house has four corners,

In each corner there are three young men:

Goodness, Comfort, Peace live.

A girl walks from corner to corner,

The braid is spreading across the floor.

The girl's name is Love,

Your roof rests on it!

If you reward us generously,

You will keep happiness in your home!

Let's leave the yard with gifts -

The bins will be full!

Even a candy, even a nickel -

We won't just leave!!!

New Year has come

The old one stole

Showed yourself!

Get up people

Come out of the gate -

To meet the sun,

Drive away the frost!

Koleda-moleda,

White beard

The nose is flat,

The head is like a basket,

Hands like sabers,

Legs like rakes,

Come New Year's Eve

Celebrate honest people!

Kolyada, Kolyada,

We open all the houses,

All the windows, chests,

We sprinkle sweets, pies,

So that it would be good for you,

Say thank you to heaven

Since you have a son,

Give me a head of cheese.

Since you have a daughter,

Give me a barrel of honey.

If you're not rich,

Get me out of the house.

Get rich, accumulate bounty -

I'll come for the New Year.

Until then I'll go like this,

Singing a carol.

If anyone is rich

Take it out of the house

And jams and pickles,

And candies and cookies.

God will give us all health,

After all, he is good at this!

We sow, we sow, we sow,

Happy New Year!

Even though it’s the Old New Year -

It still brings good things!

We wish the old fashioned way

Fertility - to the cattle,

A warm dog house,

Saucers of milk for a kitten,

A handful of wheat for a cockerel,

And my daughter-in-law and friend,

Small children - mom and dad,

Grandmother - small grandchildren!

We sow, we sow, we sow,

Happy New Year!

Open the chest

Get out the piglet!

I sow, I sow, I sow,

Congratulations on Kolyada,

I wish you happiness and joy.

I sow, I sing,

I sprinkle it with barley,

So that it can be born in the field,

So that the living creatures double,

For children to grow up

So that girls can be married.

I sow, I sow, I sow,

I wish you happiness and all the best.

Who will give us some pie?

There's a barn full of cattle,

Sheep with oats

A stallion with a tail.

Who won't give you the pie?

That's why a chicken leg

Pestle and shovel

The cow is hunchbacked.

Don't squeeze, mistress,

Bring me a loaf!

Take out the baked goods

And spelled with butter.

Everything will return a hundredfold

The bluish dawn turns white. The snowy lace of trees is as light as air. The roar of the church floats, and in this frosty roar the sun rises like a ball. It is fiery, thick, more than usual: the sun at Christmas. Floats out behind the garden like fire. The garden is covered in deep snow, brightening and turning blue. Look, it ran along the tops; the frost has turned pink; The tick marks turned pink and woke up; pinkish dust splashed, the birches turned golden, and fiery golden spots fell on the white snow. Here it is, the morning of the Holiday - Christmas. It was like this in childhood - and remains so.

Ivan Shmelev. "Summer of the Lord"

Today is Christmas Eve.

Let's remember our traditions?

Did you go to carols? I don’t, but recently children came to our house, sang carols, and this made my soul somehow happier...

What is a carol?

Now there will be some smart words.

Carol is a Christmas ritual song and poetry, an ancient Slavic analogue of Western Christmas carols.

Our ancestors sang carols on the main winter holiday, and in these songs they glorified the birth of God, wished each other goodness and prosperity.

People of all ages go caroling - from young to old.

But still, children and teenagers were the first to spread the news of the Birth of Christ.

They visited everyone in large crowds - both poor houses and the courtyards of rich people.

Children's songs about Christmas gave joy, light, hope, they made the soul feel lighter and there was hope for a bright future. Just as many centuries ago, today it is believed that the more children bring good news to the house at Christmas, the more joy, light and goodness there will be throughout the year.

What Christmas songs do you know, besides the now familiar American “Jingle Bells” or the Soviet “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest”?

I will help you.

Very, very soon caroling will come.

And suddenly you (or your children) will need this.

Russian carol
The carol has arrived
On the eve of Christmas,
Give me the cow
Oil head.
And God forbid that
Who is in this house?
The rye is thick for him,
Rye is tough.
He's like an ear of octopus,
From the grain he has a carpet,
Half-grain pie.
The Lord would grant you
And living and being,
And wealth.
And create for you, Lord,
Even better than that!

Sparrow flies
The sparrow flies
Twirls his tail,
And you people know
Light up the tables
Receive guests
Happy Christmas!

Here's some Christmas music for you.

There is everything here: from folk carols to classical music and modern musicians.

"Quiet night"
One of the most popular Christmas songs around the world was written in 1818 by the Austrian priest Joseph Mohr.

And here is the pre-Christmas performance that members of the men’s choir of the Theological Academy staged at Pulkovo airport a year ago.

The most famous carol in the world (and very, very beautiful) - Shchedrik.

This Ukrainian Christmas folk song has gained worldwide popularity in the musical arrangement of Nikolai Leonidovich.

The song was first performed by the Kyiv University choir in 1916.

In English the song is known as " Carol of the Bells" It is very popular and is often used in movies. For example, it can be heard in “Harry Potter”

One of the Christmas traditions is singing carols at Christmas. With the adoption of Christianity, this previously pagan custom turned into the glorification of Jesus Christ.

Carols appeared in pagan times. They were sung on December 21, the winter solstice (Kolyada holiday). With the adoption of Christianity in Rus', the ritual of caroling was timed to coincide with the celebration. Folk carols intertwine pagan and Christian motifs. Original church carols occupy a special place. Some of them are of foreign origin, but were later translated into Ukrainian or Russian.

In addition to the birth of Jesus Christ, carols at Christmas honor all members of the family to whom the carolers came. Costumed carolers go from house to house and sing carols to the owners, who give them coins and sweets. The ritual of caroling is accompanied by music, dancing, and games.

The ritual of caroling is still popular among the people, although it has already lost its original meaning. The Land of Soviets offers you the texts of Christmas carols in different languages. And if you didn’t have time to sing Christmas carols, don’t be upset, there are still 12 days of Christmas time ahead, after which it’s time to sing.

Christmas carols in Russian

Kolyada, Kolyada!
And sometimes there is a carol
On Christmas Eve
Kolyada has arrived
Christmas brought.
* * *

A carol came
Christmas Eve
Who will give me some pie?
So the barn is full of cattle,
Ovin with oats,
A stallion with a tail!
Who won't give me the pie?
That's why a chicken leg
Pestle and shovel
The cow is hunchbacked.
* * *

The night is silent, the night is holy,
There is light and beauty in the sky.
The Son of God is wrapped in swaddling clothes,
Lies in the Bethlehem den.
Sleep, Holy Child,
Sleep, Holy Child.

The night is silent, the night is holy,
And light and clean.
The joyful choir of angels praises,
Revealing the space far away
Above the sleeping earth.
Above the sleeping earth.

The night is silent, the night is holy,
We sing of Christ.
And with a smile the Baby looks,
His look speaks of love
And shines with beauty.
And shines with beauty.

Today an Angel has descended upon us
And he sang: “Christ is born!”
We came to glorify Christ,
And congratulate you on the holiday.

Here we go, shepherds,
All our sins are forgiven.
We make our way to home,
We glorify Christ God.

Who else knows? Who knows street games? So as not to go home!!!

According to tradition, caroling begins in the evening of January 6, and on January 7 throughout the day. Both adults and children can sing carols; we have selected special carol songs for you to celebrate the Nativity of Christ.

I'm alone with my dad.
Knee-deep casing -
Give me some pie, uncle!

Kolyada, Kolyada!

Or a loaf of bread,
Or half a buck,
Or a chicken with a crest,
Cockerel with a comb!

Merry Christmas to you, people,
May you have peace and harmony!
So that you don't know grief,
May we remain in abundance!

Give you, Lord,
In the field of nature,
Threshed on the threshing floor,
Kvashni thickening,
There is sporin on the table,
Thicker sour cream
The cows are milked!

Tyapu-lyapu, quickly give me a carol!
My legs are chilly - I’ll run home.
Whoever gives is the prince,
Whoever doesn’t give in will go to hell!

Short Christmas carols

Good evening to good people!
May the holiday be merry.
Merry Christmas to you.
We wish you happiness and joy!

Generous evening, good evening!
Good health to good people!!!

Little guy
Sat down on a sheaf
plays the pipe,
Kolyada is amusing.

Christ the Savior
Born at midnight.
In a poor den
He settled.
Here above the nativity scene
The star is shining.
Christ the Master,
On your birthday
Give it to all the people
World of enlightenment!

Good evening to you,
Affectionate owner,
Rejoice, rejoice, earth,
The Son of God was born into the world.

Carols, carols, carols -
Pancakes are good with honey!
And without honey - it’s not the same,
Give me some pies, auntie!

Carols!
They brought you pancakes and pancakes
In a painted cart,
On the raven tip.

Caroling, caroling
From family to family we wander
We will tell you poems,
Give us some pies

Well, it would be better if there were coins
We'll buy the candy ourselves
And also a handful of nuts,
And let's take a thimble of wine!

Mister, gentlemen,
The master's wife
Open the doors
And give us a gift!
Pie, roll
Or anything else!

We'll call you by phone
With wishes and bow.
We came to carol
Merry Christmas to you!

Heaven gave to Christ
Christmas star.
Earth with love and faith
Gave the Baby a cave.

The angels praised with singing.
Preserving purity, beauty,
Chastity and humility
Mother Mary breathed into Christ.

Kolyada, Kolyada,
Wait for a miracle, the time has come -
Find out the groom's face
Caroling on a dark night.
Throw the shoe there
Where is the cherished destiny?
Light candles at midnight
Sing songs loudly.
And hope that
That everything will be fine!

Russian carols for Christmas

The road of the wise men and shepherds
We are moving behind a wonderful star.
When you can't find her with your eyes,
A young heart will see her.

When she goes beyond the clouds
Or the passions of the world will cloud your eyes.
Then make your heart sighted,
It will not disappoint your hopes.

And you will outshine her cool light,
Without daring to use a household lamp
Follow the wise men and shepherds,
The night doors are boldly opening.

Look how in the mother of pearl of the clouds
We are moving over the abyss of heaven,
Along the shimmering and narrow road,
The road of the wise men and shepherds.

The magical night is coming
The night is holy
Brings bright joy
Illuminating souls.

Open the gate
Kolyada walking,
Christmas Eve
Bringing happiness to you.

So that your house is full
And good and good,
It's good to live in it
Without worries and burdens.

Caroling carol
From centuries today,
May a star shine for you
Grace of the Lord.

I'm caroling, I'm caroling
I will go into any hut.
I'll ask the hostess
Let's have some sweets.
And cookies and sweets,
And sherbet with nuts,
And halva and chocolate,
Pastille and marmalade,
Delicious cake,
Sweet ice cream
We'll eat it ourselves
And treat each other
And the hostess, and the hostess
Remember with a kind word!

We wish everyone good health,
So that with brotherly love
I came to you every day,
I believe that I gave you happiness.

And now let the world rejoice,
Rejoices, triumphs,
Jesus Christ was born
The world is saved! The world has lit up!

And we, the faithful people,
We magnify Christ
Angel songs
We dedicate it to him!

Gloria!
Merry Christmas!

We'll bake pies
At the hour of the Great Kolyada,
And let's go as a family to family,
We will bring joy to people.

Let us sing the praises of Christ,
Let the soul sing in the body,
May goodness come with goodness,
Brings bright happiness.

Our savior and creator,
Miracle of the Light blacksmith,
We glorify you
Always be with us.

Let us wish at this hour,
So that you have everything,
And patience and peace,
So that everyone values life.

The sun is shining in the manger in the hay
The Son of God was born for the salvation of the world.
Cold night
The born will feel cold
King of Kings of the entire Universe.

Angelic choirs praise God in heaven,
Glorifies the whole earth, forests and mountains,
Praises Dubrova
living God
The accession of Christ.

Evil spirits cry piteously in the desert,
People are enjoying Christmas now:
The king reigned
God was born
He appeared to us to save us.

You, Mother Mary, are the reason for joy,
Ask the Lord, beg your son
I will help you in life,
Our way to heaven,
We will sing: “Glory to God!”

With regards to you,
From house to house
With an open soul,
We will knock on doors,
Treat us to some food.

Take the treat,
Don't say unnecessary words
Talk about love
About the savior of the soul.

Have fun and walk,
Sing songs together
Kolyada did not come in vain,
The skies opened.

Amazing night
All worries are driven away,
Kolyada - Kolyada,
She's amazing!

Good evening, generous evening,
Good health to good people.
The falcon has arrived
Sat at the window
I cut the cloth.
And the leftovers are for the owners’ hats,
And the scraps and for the belts,
Hello, happy holiday!

Funny carols for Christmas

We dressed up cool
They sat in the white sleigh.
We drove to you, we drove,
For gingerbread with nuts.
For honey, and with my darling,
For some sweet liqueur!

Good auntie,
Give me some sweet cakes.
Kolyada-molyada,
On the eve of Christmas,
Give it, don't break it,
Give everything whole.
If you drop a little one,
You can’t even pray to God.
If you don't serve the flatbread, we'll break the windows.
If you don't serve the pie, we'll take the cow by the horns.

The little boy sat down on the sofa,
The sofa is fragile - drive away the ruble!

I carol, I carol,
I smell moonshine with my nose,
Sausage and lard.
Pour it, otherwise I'll pay.

We give you our carols,
We only ask for chocolates,
Beer, kvass and wine,
Yes, hot pancake!

Kolyada is coming to your house,
And he carries bags of goods,
Who will give us the most?
Great success awaits him!

I sing carols and I smell vodka in my nose
Whether it's a pot of water or wine - we drunkards are always happy
Chi champagne chi cognac abi vipit fool.

Carols, carols,
Chocolates for the boys
Adults sandwich with lard,
We're having fun, people!

Kolyada-molyada
She arrived young.
We found a carol
In Ivan's yard!
Hey, Uncle Ivan,
Take the good stuff out into the yard!
How cold it is outside
Freezes nose
Doesn't tell me to stand for long
He orders it to be served soon,
Or a warm pie
Or money with a spear,
Or a silver ruble!

Kolyada, Kolyada!!!
Give me whiskey, give me ice!!!
But for a snack we need
Feijoa and avocado!!!

Carols are like ditties,
We know a million of them.
Give me a gram to drink,
We’ll sing them to you right away!

Kolyada - molyada
I entered a new gate!
And behind it comes the frost
It has grown over the tyn!
He brought cold
So, grandfather Arkhip
Became young!
The frost is small
Yes, he doesn’t tell me to stand!
The frost does not tell me to stand,
It's time for us to carol.

Ukrainian carols for Christmas

Kolyad, carol girl
Good palyanitsya
I'm a little girl
I'm standing in front of the hut
I'm playing in a sniffle
I amuse the kids
And you people, feel it
Prepare Kolyada
Apple, peas
These are my nursery rhymes
Gorishechka's money
Whisper in the gut
And if you won’t let me
That's empty for me
Christ was born
The world is having fun
Holy Evening!

The table is covered with a tablecloth,
I have my homeland
They gathered to check the star,
“Christ was born” Casati.
Twelve mi strava pokustuyomo,
Vertepniks of all often
And in peace the candles are lit.
Christ is born! Slavimo!
Kings and Magi will come
Ring carols between the huts.
The whole world is illuminated with joy -
Christ was born in a manger!

Carols, carols, carols,
Good with honey scorching,
But it’s not the same without honey,
Give me some pie, please.
Yak won't give me a pie,
I'll take the bull by the horns,
I'll take you to the market,
I’ll buy my own pie.

Kolyadin, Kolyadin,
I'm alone with my dad.
Don't marvel at me
Show off to Kovbas.
Kolyadin, Kolyadin,
I'm alone with my dad.
Knee-high casing, -
Give me some pie, man!

Good evening, Tobi,
Sir.
Rejoice, oh rejoice, earth,
Son of God was born.

Son of God was born.
Then put the rolls
With spring wheat.
Rejoice, oh rejoice, earth,
Son of God was born.
Bo will come to you,
Three holidays are visiting.

Son of God was born.
And the first holiday

carol-carol,
Months are coming in a row.
Dressed in leather jackets,
Like a shepherdess in a den.
Kolyada-kolyadnitsa,
It's a joy for children,
Generous for a hotel
At Llaniya Torbintsi.

Kolyad, Kolyad, Kolyad,
And the grandfather looked out from the stove,
And the woman with the little candle -
Walking around the blind man's buff.

Runaway heifer from Bereznichka
That's how it became.
I'll give you a carol, uncle,
Give me some bacon.
Big heifer and birch tree
The one in the uncle's door.
I'll give you a carol, uncle,
Then give me a pie.

Good evening to you, sir!
Bring us a couple of cowbass,
Oh, go around the stove,
Look for some gossip for us.
Vinesi sala, don’t be stingy,
So that your barley is born,
Just press one hundred kip of life,
So that the whole sieve was filled!
There were so many cattle,
So the wheat was born,
The house needs everything -
The carolers were treated to a treat.

Horned wolf
Having gone orati
To your field,
Half.
And from end to end
Blame the little one,
And to the top of the mountain
A piece of salsa.

Oh, God, let me wait for Christmas,
Let's go to caroling before grandfather.
And our grandfather has plenty of bread:
Two stitches of life, and the third is wheat
On the palyantsi,
And a quarter of buckwheat for buckwheat.
And the fifth one is vivsa. That's the whole carol.

Kolyad, Kolyad, Kolyada
At the end of the peek.
I have a happy birthday
Light a candle for joy.
Call Kolyada to the house,
To greet Jesus.
Good people, carol,
Sin of God, be foolish!

I'm singing carols,
I smell Kovbas,
And it’s still not enough
Give me some lard.
Salo is great,
I'm pulling on your face
The face is torn
The lard is gone.
Good evening!

I'm a little girl
My gentle little barefoot,
Peak, Mick,
Give me a carol.

On a good day, in good time,
We are sending you away from Holidays!
From the Holy Supper,
Merry carols,
Hai carol is mooning
And he sows with snow.
High Rik Novy Nese u Khatu
There is a lot of happiness and joy.

Kolyada, Kolyada
Look at the police.
The cowbass lie there,
It stinks to run away.
Give it, baby, to the cowbass -
In the summer I will graze the horses.
Don’t give me a cowbashi -
At least feed it yourself.
