Posted by: Seraphim Dankaert

An Easter song performed by the musical orchestra ''Stupovi'' and various Serbian singers and celebrities. The video is dedicated to the resurrection of Christ, made as part of a campagin to raise funds for reconstruction of a medieval Serbian Orthodox monastery named ''Pillars of Saint George.''

The lyrics are taken from a poem by St. Nikolai Velimirovich, one of the great Serbian saints of the modern era.

Here is an English translation of the lyrics:

People rejoice, nations hear:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
Stars dance, mountains sing:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
Forests murmur, winds hum:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
Seas bow, animals roar:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
Bees swarm, and the birds sing:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!

Angels stand, triple the song:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
Sky, humble yourself, and elevate the earth:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
Bells chime, and tell to all:
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
Glory to You God, everything is possible to You,
Christ is risen, and brings the joy!
