#the ukrainian one we sing is actually more beautiful but my mom kinda sorta composed it herself so there's no recording :(

[merrymorningofmay]

my mom is the conductor in our church choir and on easter they always sing the paschal troparion in different languages (based on what my mom likes music-wise and what her small non-professional choir can pull off without too much tweaking)

it's gotta be my favourite part of the service so i wanted to share them! (if i butcher the romanization here or there sorry + let me know the correct spelling please)

the chant goes: christ is risen from the dead, / trampling down death by death, / and to those in the tombs / bestowing life.

greek (hristos anesti)

georgian (krist’e aghsdga) (my favourite one tbh)

mandarin chinese (復活節讚詞 / fùhuó jié zàn cí)

well, ukrainian, of course (khrystos voskres)

and while i was looking up these ones i stumbled upon a couple others which i liked so i gotta pile them in for good measure :')

arabic (al massih qam) (i believe the rest of what he sings is the stichera?)

finnish (kristus nousi kuolleista)

irish (tá críost éirithe as na marbh)

happy easter everybody!!
