Nebo i Zemlya. Heaven and Earth. Russian kolyadka

This is one of the kolyadki (carols) for Christmas. The St Nicholas Cathedral Children's Choir in Mozhaisk sings it accompanied by Orthodox icons of the Birth of Christ. The final image is the famous version painted by St Andrei Rublyov.

To forestall spam by nationalist extremists, the kolyadki migrated from Little Russia all over the Empire, and they are now a precious heritage of all Orthodox Russians. In any case, this choir is Russian, and it was recorded in Russia. Isn't it sad that I must include such a caveat for such a beautiful song about a meaningful feast?

[Vostorgina01]

It begins with "Heaven and earth are today rejoicing, angels and mankind are in festival", it continues in that vein. It is a Christmas carol, after all.

r. b. Vostorgina

[skygodtj]

Nebo i zeml'a nebo i zeml'a

Nyni torzestvujut

Anhely l'ude, anhely l'ude

Veselo sprazdnujut Christos rodilsja, Boh voplotilsja Anhely spivajut', Carije vitajut' Poklon otdajut', pastyrije hrajut' Cudo, Cudo povidajut

Vo Viflejemi, voviflejemi

Vesela novina

Cistaja D'iva, cistaja D'iva

Porodila Syna Christos rodilsja, Boh voplotilsja Anhely spivajut', Carije vitajut'  Poklon otdajut', pastyruije hrajut Cudo, cudo povidajut

This beautiful is sung a little different in Russian Ukrainian, Slovak and Polish.

The polish version : Dzisiaj w Betlejem, dzisiaj w Betlejem,

Wesola nowina.

Ze Panna czysta, ze Panna czysta

Porodzila Syna.

Chrystus sie rodzi,

nas oswobodzi, Anieli graja,

Króle witaja, Pasterze spiewaja,

bydleta klekaja,

Cuda, cuda oglaszaja.
