Bóg się rodzi [English translation]

God is being born, the power is petrified

The Lord of Heaven is naked

The fire solidifies, the radiance darkens

The Eternal is bound by boundaries

Despised, covered in glory

Mortal King of the centuries

And the Word became flesh

And lived among us

In what are you better than the Earthlings, oh Heaven?

God has forsaken your happiness

He entered among [his] beloved people

Participating in its hardships and toils

He suffered not little, not little

Because we are ourselves guilty

And the Word became flesh

And lived among us

Born in a miserable barn

He was given a manger instead of a craddle

Who is He, what surrounds him?

Cattle, shephards and hay

Oh poor ones, it happened to you

That you greeted him before the rich

And the Word became flesh

And it lived among us

Later on the kings, who were seen

Were going through the crowd of simple folk

Carrying a tribute for the Lord

Myrrh, incense and gold

God has mixed them

With the sacrifices of the peasants

And the Word became flesh

And lived among us

Raise your hand, oh child of God

Bless [this] beloved land

By good advices, by good being

Support its strenght by yours

[Bless] our home and all our belongings

And Your villages and cities

And the Word became flesh

And lived among us
