Cicha noc, święta noc Posted by on Dec 13, 2011 in Culture, Religion

I love Polish kolędy! Here is my favorite one:

Cicha noc, święta noc

Cicha noc, święta noc,
Pokój niesie ludziom wszem
A u żłobka Matka Święta
Czuwa sama uśmiechnięta
Nad Dzieciątka snem,
Nad Dzieciątka snem.

Cicha noc, święta noc,
Pastuszkowie od swych trzód
Biegną wielce zadziwieni,
Za anielskim głosem pieni
Gdzie się spełnił cud,
Gdzie się spełnił cud.

Cicha noc, święta noc,
Narodzony Boży Syn,
Pan wielkiego majestatu
Niesie dziś całemu światu
Odkupienie win,
Odkupienie win.

Silent Night, holy night

Silent Night, holy night
Brings peace to people everywhere
And at the manger, the Holy Mother
Watches alone, smiling,
Over the Child’s sleep,
Over the Child’s sleep.

Silent night, holy night,
The shepherds from their flocks
Run greatly surprised
After the angel’s voice announcing
Where the miracle has been fulfilled,
Where the miracle has been fulfilled.

Silent night, holy night,
God’s (new)born Son,
The Lord of great majesty
Brings today to the entire world
The redemption of sin,
The redemption of sin.

Here are 2 different versions of this carol:

Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)

About the Author: Kasia

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.

    Here’s a blog with info on various Polish Kolędy and videos of Mazowsze singing:

    And here is a website where you can learn to play Kolędy on guitar, with chords and videos:

    Thanks for the links! As my mother was over in Poland for Christmas we sung the carol in Polish, Welsh and English.

    My favourite carol is presently “Mędrcy świata, monarchowie”.
