Људи ликујте, народи чујте:
Христос воскресе,

Звезде играјте, горе певајте,
Христос воскресе,

Шуме шумите, ветри брујите:

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!

Ala je lep ovaj svet

Onde trava ovde žbun
Slavuj pesmom ljulja lug, ja ga slušam i moj drug.

Advanced Serbian - Detecting Synonyms

Marina serbian songs , Serbian vocabulary

For all of you who are advanced learners of Serbian, here comes a challenging exercise based on this lovely song:

The idea is for you to listen to this song and in each part of the song to detect 3 words which are synonyms with the words written in the capital letters above that part. Srećno!

KAFANA - NEDAVNO - NEOBIČAN

Znate l' priču o Vasi Ladačkom
i ja sam je tek onomad čuo
jednom devet dana nije izlazio iz birtije
kažu da je bio čudna sorta

BOLESTAN - SELJAK - MAJKA

Otac mu je bio sitni paor
'ranio je sedam gladnih usti
mati mu je bila plava
tiha, nežna, jektičava
umrla je s trideset i nešto

STO - NEKOLIKO - UVEK

Imali su par jutara zemlje
malu kuću na kraju sokaka
na astalu navek hleba
taman tol'ko kol'ko treba
al' je Vasa hteo mnogo više

KOČIJE - CRNI - BOGAT

Želeo je konje vrane, po livadi razigrane
sat sa zlatnim lancem i salaše
želeo je njive plodne, vinograde blagorodne
u karuce pregnute čilaše
ali nije mog'o da ih ima

OŽENIO - VOLIŠ - SIROMAŠAN

Voleo je lepu, al' sirotu
uz'o bi je samo da je znao
voles jednom u životu
sad bogatu il' sirotu
to ne bira pamet nego srce

PRESTATI - BOGATA DEVOJKA - ZA STALNO

Sve se nad'o da će ljubav proći
zanavek je otiš'o iz sela
nikad nije pis'o nikom
venč'o se sa mirazdžikom
jedinicom, kćerkom nekog gazde

KONJI SIVE DLAKE - RAZDRAGAN - DŽEPNI SAT

Dobio je konje vrane, po livadi razigrane
sat sa zlatnim lancem i salaše
dobio je njive plodne, vinograde blagorodne
u karuce pregnute čilaše
sve je im'o - ništa im'o nije

LJUDI KOJI PROVODE VREME U KAFANI - VRAG - POČETI PITI

Propio se, nije prošlo mnogo
dušu svoju đavolu je prod'o
znali su ga svi birtaši
tražio je spas u čaši
ali nije mog'o da ga nađe

INFARKT - PALA - NA SREDINI

Mlad je, kažu, bio kad je umro
'sred birtije od srčane kapi
klonula mu samo glava
ko da drema, ko da spava
i još pamte šta je zadnje rek'o

KOČIJA - BOGAT - BESPOTREBNO

Džaba bilo konja vranih, po livadi razigranih
džaba bilo sata i salaša
džaba bilo njiva plodnih, vinograda blagorodnih
džaba bilo karuca, ćilasa
kada nisam s onom koju volem
kada nisam s onom koju volem
