SLYSELI JSME V BETLEME
(Traditional Czech Carol)
Slyseli jsme v Betleme,
Ze tam lezi na sene.
To prekrasne pacholatko
Uslechtile Jezulatko,
Josef smatkou je hlida,
Josef smatkou je hilda.

English Translation:
WE HAVE HEARD IN BETHLEHEM
We have heard in Bethlehem,
Lies a Babe, a heav'nly gem.
O'er the infant King, so lovely,
Joseph and sweet Mary hov'ring,
We have heard in Bethlehem,
Lies a Babe, a heav'nly gem.
