    1.Christmas carols in Romania

    The carols are very well and attentively hept from our ancestors till the present days. Then , they are follwed by those who go carolling who are between 14- 16 years old.They are formed in a team of about 8 members called the three magi and they play the scene from the Bible about the arrivel of our Saviour.

    Those who go carrolling bring joy to the houses of those people who accept then to  enter their house. The ,, host people,,  reward then for their carols with plum brandy . pound cake, nuts,apples, but also money.

    2.Christmas carols in Macedonia

    Early in the morning on the day before Christmas Eve, children sing and go from house to house where they get gifts such as nuts, chestnuts, apples, oranges and other goodies. This symbolizes Christ's birth announcement.

    Среде соба високо
    елката ни стои 
    и ја красат играчки 
    во илјада бои

    реф. Елко, елко
    порасни уште две-три педи
    за да може Дедо Мраз
    дарови да рееееедииии  

    Тука е играчката
    вчера што ја сонив
    многу, многу бомбони
    мноогу лампиони

    реф. Елко, елко..

     

     

                                               

    3. Christmas carols in Poland

    Our group recorded ,, Merry Christmas " in Polish for you :) Here is a link to watch it -  https://flipagram.com/f/10fx2YMlwUy

    Our school choir recorded for you Polish carol "Gdy się Chrystus rodzi" ("When Christ is being born"). We hope you will like it and it will not be so difficult to sing! The last line is in Latin :)

    Gdy się Chrystus Rodzi

    I na świat przychodzi

    Ciemna noc w janości

    Promienistej brodzi

    Aniołowie się radują

    Pod niebiosy wyśpiewują

    Gloria, gloria, gloria in excelsis Deo!

     

     
    We tried to sing in Lithuanian. We hope it is OK! We so much loved the tune that we recorded it today.
     
     
     
     
     
    1.Christmas carols in Italy
    We love carols in Italy and we decided to perform one of the most famous and popular "Tu scendi dalle stelle" written by Saint Alphonse de' Liguori, who was born and lived near Naples in the late 18th century. These are the students rehearsing it.

    The lyrics are ...
     
    Tu scendi dalle stelle,
    o Re del cielo,
    e vieni d'una grotta al freddo e al gelo.(2 v.)

    O Bambino mio divino,
    io ti vedo qui a tremar;
    o Dio beato !
    Ah, quanto ti costò l'avermi amato!(2 v.)

    A te che sei del mondo
    il Creatore,
    mancano panni e fuoco, o mio Signore.(2 v.)
     
    And if you want to sing, here's the music
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Christmas Carol in France
     
     
     
     
    Here is the most famous song children sing at Christmas time  : "PETIT PAPA NOEL" written by TINO ROSSI in 1959 ! It is a VERY OLD tradition !

    C'est la belle nuit de Noël
    La neige étend son manteau blanc
    Et les yeux levés vers le ciel
    À genoux, petits enfants
    Avant de fermer les paupières
    Font une dernière prière.

    Petit papa Noël
    Quand tu descendras du ciel
    Avec des jouets par milliers
    N'oublie pas mon petit soulier.
    Mais avant de partir
    Il faudra bien te couvrir
    Dehors tu vas avoir si froid
    C'est un peu à cause de moi.

    Il me tarde tant que le jour se lève
    Pour voir si tu m'as apporté
    Tous les beaux joujoux que je vois en rêve
    Et que je t'ai commandés.

    Petit papa Noël
    Quand tu descendras du ciel
    Avec des jouets par milliers
    N'oublie pas mon petit soulier.

    Examples of christmas carols in France:
