☦ Ukrainian Orthodox Christian Chant: 'In the Dark Night' 🌟🎄🕊
Orthodox Christian Chant 'In the Dark Night'English:
In the dark night, above Bethlehem,
a bright star shined out, covering the Holy Land.
The Most Pure Virgin, the Holy Bride,
in a poor cave gave birth to a Son.
[Chorus] Sleep Jesus, sleep my little baby,
Sleep my little star,
About your fate, my little sweet,
To you I will sing.
She gently kissed and swaddled him,
She put him to bed, and quietly started to sing,
You will grow up, my Son, youll become a grown-up,
And you will go out into the world, my baby.
Sleep Jesus, sleep my sweet little baby,
Sleep my little star,
About your fate, my little sweet,
To you I will sing.
The Love of the Lord and Gods truth,
You will bring faith to the world, to your people,
The truth will live on, the shackles of sin will be shattered,
[But my child], on Golgotha, my child will die.
Sleep Jesus, sleep my sweet little baby,
Sleep my little star,
About your fate, my little sweet,
To you I will sing.
Sleep, Jesus, sleep my sweet little baby,
Sleep my rose blossom,
With hope on You
The entire world is watching!

OP
I edited to add the words. I'm Slav descent but it was difficult even for me to translate.

Thank you for enjoying. 💝

My wife sometimes streams stuff from the big church she grew up in - much bigger production than in ours.

My 'Orthodoxy' originated in the Carpatho-Rusyn Orthodox Church. Both maternal and paternal grandparents came to the states in the early 1900's from the Carpathian Mountain region of Czechoslovakia. We're not 'Russian', but all Slavic people in that part of the world share close languages and customs. FOOD [ethnic dishes] being up at the top of the list! 😄

Similarly, all four of Mrs. yonder's grandparents came over on the boat at about the same time, though from different parts of Greece.
2nd generation Orthodox through and through, American all the way.
