Nativity scene from Csenke

Characters: ; ; FOUR SHEPHERDS ; ; SHEPHERD I ; I praise Jesus! ; I ask permission, ; To enter this house without saying a word. ; The shepherd man also takes himself there, ; Where in the cold he feels his farm warm. ; And then it is scary to live in the forest, ; To see ghosts of things, ; Even the stars dance because of it, ; I only think about it with all my life, ; That no one can get it out of my head. ; ; SHEPHERD II ; Hey, bread-loving fellow, where are you going here, ; Don't you know that you must not leave your flock? ; When I guard my flock, ; One of my eyes is sleeping, ; And the other is watching. ; If I see a wolf skulking, ; With this crooked stick I will strike its skin. ; You are a shepherd, be that! ; Do not leave your flock, ; Because I will strike down that hunchback of yours! ; ; I. SHEPHERD ; I would not have left my flock, ; If I had not seen such a wonderful ghost in the night. ; ; II. SHEPHERD ; Where is that ghost? ; Let me strike him, ; Let him tear in two, ; The scorn of his mockery! ; You belong in a corner, ; Not with a flock, ; That you stand before him with such ghosts! ; ; III. SHEPHERD ; May God grant you good evening! I am here too. ; I do not show many holes in my new, new screen. ; But it is also evident that I am a good shepherd, ; That I do not run far from the wolf. ; But I saw such a wonderful ghost in the night, ; He had wings and sang so beautifully. ; I spoke to him, but he answered in a low voice, ; I did not understand what it could be. ; ; II. SHEPHERD ; A dream and nothing else, ; It was a shame to be frightened by it. ; ; III. SHEPHERD ; It was, because it was. ; Kend would have been frightened if he had seen such a wonderful apparition. ; ; IV. SHEPHERD ; Hey, my sons, shepherds, get up quickly, ; For the angel has appeared, with great joy, ; Who announces that the Messiah is born. ; Come and let us worship him in the cold manger. ; ; EVERYTHING ; ; ; Look towards Bethlehem, ; What great brightness has shone, ; A star that landed there, ; Stopped over a barn. ; ; A well is visible over there, ; Perhaps that will be the stable. ; There the Virgin gave birth to her fetus, ; The savior of the world. ; ; IV. SHEPHERD ; Our purses were so cold that they were deathly ill. ; We were also at the doctor's, ; But he shook his head, saying that he didn't really like such a patient. ; He only likes to treat patients with money. ; That's why we ask the master of our house, ; To test our purse. ; He fills our purse full, ; Let's know how to cut a vein in it. ; If he inflates our purse, ; He'll have it on paper, on pencil. ; ; EVERYTHING ; God bless the kind-hearted host!
