Rolf Zuckowski und seine Freunde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wie ihr Herz vor Freude lacht?
Seht das Licht, das sie uns bringen
Hat die Nacht zum Tag gemacht
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
Diese Welt ist nicht verloren
Denn, um unsre Schuld zu tragen
Wurde heut ein Kind geboren
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
Hört ihr, wie die Engel spielen
Wie ihr Lied zum Himmel klingt?
So wie sie sollt ihr euch fühlen
Dass ihr selbst voll Freude singt
Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
The song "Gloria" by Rolf Zuckowski und seine Freunde celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and the joy and hope that his arrival brings to the world. The first verse describes how the angels are singing and how their music brings happiness and light to the darkness of the night. The chorus, "Gloria in excelsis deo", is a Latin phrase which means "Glory to God in the highest", and it acknowledges the divine nature of Jesus' birth.
The second verse talks about how Jesus came to Earth to bear the sins of the world, and that through his sacrifice, the world is not lost. Again, the chorus is repeated to emphasize the glory and majesty of Jesus' birth. The final verse encourages the listener to feel as the angels do - joyful and full of song - and to celebrate the hope and love that Jesus brings.
Overall, "Gloria" is a beautiful and uplifting song that celebrates the wonder and majesty of the Christmas season, and reminds us of the true meaning behind the holiday.
