Jezus Malusienki / Lulajze Jezuniu
Jezus Malusieńki has its origins in the 18th century. The text can be found in Carmelite manuscripts from 1754. The rhythm comes from the traditional kujawiak-a dance in slow triple meter. The text speaks of the poverty in which God is born. The song expresses concern for Christ’s earthly hardships and the suffering for our salvation. Lulajże Jezuniu, one of the most famous Polish carols, was also first published in 1754. The carol was an inspiration for many composers including Chopin, who incorporated it into his Scherzo in B minor. Like other carols, Lulajże also was set with newer patriotic texts connected to Polish current events.
