The lyrics of the Greek carols for the New Year as sung on New Year’s Eve translated to English
Greek carols for the New Year – English lyrics
It’s the beginning of the month, beginning of the year
High incense tree
Beginning of my good year
Church with the Holy Seat
It’s the beginning of our Christ
Saint and spiritual
He got out to walk on earth
And to welcome us
St. Basil is coming
From Caesaria
And doesn’t want to deal with us
May you long live, my lady
He holds (St. Basil) an icon and a piece of paper
With the picture of Christ our Savior
A piece of paper and a quill
Please look at me, the young man.
