Enkeli taivaan
Kaija Koo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Enkeli taivaan lausui näin:
"Miks hämmästyitte säikähtäin?
Mä suuren ilon ilmoitan
Maan kansoille nyt tulevan.

Herramme Kristus teille nyt
On tänään tänne syntynyt.
Ja tää on teille merkiksi:
Seimessä lapsi makaapi."

Nyt Jumalalle kunnia,
Kun antoi ainoon Poikansa.




Siit enkelitkin riemuiten
Veisaavat hälle kiitoksen.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Enkeli taivaan by Kaija Koo relay the message of an angel who appeared to the shepherds on the night of Jesus Christ's birth. The angel reassures the shocked and frightened shepherds not to be afraid as he brings them great news – the birth of Jesus, which will bring immense joy to all the people on earth.


The angel goes on to announce that Christ, the Lord, has been born that very day and tells the shepherds that they will find the baby lying in a manger. He also encourages them to go and spread the good news to others, which they do. The song ends with the lyrics expressing gratitude and thanks to God for sending his only son to the world.


The lyrics of the song are based on the biblical account of Jesus' birth found in Luke 2:10-14. Kaija Koo's rendition of the story is a beautiful, heartfelt expression of joy and wonder at the miracle of Christ's birth.
