about

Alleluia! Jesus Lives! is a Polish Easter folk song. I was inspired by a recording from 1922, that was made by Polish immigrants on Ellis Island N.Y. I sampled the old recording from 1922 and wove it into the arrangement of my new version.

lyrics

English:

Alleluia! Jesus lives,
No more sleeping in the shade
Where He rested for three days.

Alleluia! He conquered Death
That had held us In slavery.
The Son pushes shadows into night


Alleluia! Evil is slain
His resurrection paves the way
For St. George to Pierce the dragon

Alleluia! The chains have been broken.
The evil one rowers but has no teeth
Who can he harm now that Christ is awake!


Polish:

Alleluja! Jezus żyje!
Już Go więcej cień nie kryje,
W którym trzy dni spoczywał.

Alleluja! Przezwyciężył
Już Jezus grzech, co nas więził
W tej haniebnej niewoli.

Alleluja! Tryumfuje
Prawda, a fałsz ustępuje
Z ziemi oswobodzonej.

Alleluja! Złość zgromiona,
A niewinność wyniesiona
Odzyskała swe prawo.
