Serbian Easter Songs 

The Cyrillic Version

Звезде играјте, горе певајте,
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Шуме шумите, ветри брујите:
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Мора гудите, звери ричите:
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Пчеле се ројте, а птице појте:
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Анђели стојте, песму утројте:
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Овчице беле, буд’те веселе:
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Мали славуји, нек’ песма бруји:
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Небо се снизи, земљу узвиси-
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Црвено јаје сваком се даје
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!

Слава ти Боже, све ти се може
Христос воскресе,
Радост донесе!
