Ancient Lithuanian Christmas song sang by the Lithuanian folklore band Ugniavijas. Lithuanian and English lyrics provided below. Merry Christmas!





Eisim, bernai kalėdaut, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.


Katrie greiti šunų vaikyt, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.


Katrie stiprūs terbų nešiot, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.


Katrie drąsūs duonos prašyt, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.


Geria mergos saldų midų, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.


Moterukės alų geria, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.


O vyreliai arielkėlę, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.


O berneliai smalą geria, kalėda
Želk želmuo po žirgeliu, kalėda.



English lyrics:


We'll go to sing carols, lads!

Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!


Those of you who are quick to shew away the dogs
Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!


Those of you who are strong to carry the sacks
Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!


Those of you who are brave to ask for bread
Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!


The lassies are drinking sweet mead
Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!


The women are drinking beer
Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!


The men are drinking spirits
Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!


The lads are drinking resin
Sprout, you green stalk, under the horse!
