Engjëjt, Duke Fluturuar

Representative Text

1 Engjëjt, duke fluturuar
Natën lart përmbi kët’ botë,
Sonte shpallin shumë t’gëzuar
Lindjen e Jezusit Zot.

Refreni:
E - jani dhe adhurojeni
Mbretin e porsalindur.
E - jani dhe adhurojeni
Mbretin e porsalindur sot.

2 O, dëgjoni, ju barinj të
Thjeshtë kët’ lajm prej engjëjve.
Rron ndër ne sot Perëndia;
Si një foshnjë plot hare. [Refreni]

3 Tash shqyrtoni, dijetarë,
Kët’ Dëshirë të kombëve.
Yllin ju e keni parë,
Që atë na shpalli ne. [Refreni]

4 Sonte engjëjt prej së larti
V’rejnë me frikë edhe me shpresë.
Zoti papandehurazi
Shpejt në tempull do të zbresë [Refreni]
