Violent Femmes - Rejoice and Be Happy [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate

Blessed are you who are persecuted too, for righteousness and the good that you do
If in the bread you put a little leaven, the Kingdom is yours and it's the Kingdom of Heaven

Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate

Ye are the salt of the earth, if you're not salty, what are you worth?

Rejoice and be ye exceedingly glad for great is the reward in Heaven to be had
For the prophets they did persecute too, unjust though it was, they came way before you

Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate

We are the salt of the earth, if we're not salty, what are we worth?

Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate

Rejoice and be happy when they revile you, just like the Savior told us to do
Rejoice and be glad when for His name's sake, they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate
