The sky rejoices with joy
Song
1. The sky rejoices with joy, with praises, ; The sun shines with its rays, its pure light, ; The stars brighten, day and darkness are gone, ; All animals rejoice, today they sing. ; ; 2. Here is Saint John Matthew carrying his linden tree, ; He sweetly claps his lovely song. ; I wish you well, may the good God grant you life, ; In physical and spiritual health, in good luck. ; ; In words: ; ; “A great source of joy has arisen in my heart, ; Holy joy has come to my soul today, ; But today I saw the star of Saint Stephen shining, ; It brought great joy on his dear name day. ; I wish the good God to grant you long life, ; If you die, place him in heaven. ; So guard him in the bosom of Abraham. May he live!”
