Monks' Alphabet 

Rejoice monk, and once again I say – rejoice, the first [is] this.        
 

Rejoice monk, obedience, and again I say, rejoice always monk, Lord's second [is] this.         
 

Close up the cell,         
And in this way, the monastery will rejoice.
 

Always rejoice monk, I'll say it a third time,  
 

Pray monk          
All the monastery rejoice with you, monk!   
 

Always rejoice, monk, I'll say it for the fourth time.        
 

A fifth and final, listen monk        
 

If you experience a difficulty, catfish, if you fall into despair – do not lose hope,
do not retire, do not be weary, exhibit no faint-heartedness,
 

And when you need to, prostrate little bro.  
And so all the monastery rejoice with you, monk. 

"Te-Ri-Rem" – a Byzantine meaningless song during whose performance monks make the Jesus prayer.
