The First Noel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.

Narodil se král Izraele.

The first Noel the angel did say

První Noel oznámil anděl

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

Některým chudým pastýřům, jak leželi na polích;

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

Na polích, kde hlídali své ovce,

On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Za chladné zimní noci, která byla tak hluboká.

They looked up and saw a star

Vzhlédli a uviděli hvězdu.

Shining in the east, beyond them far;

Zářící na východě, daleko za nimi;

And to the earth it gave great light,

A zemi dala velké světlo,

And so it continued both day and night.

A tak to pokračovalo ve dne i v noci.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

Tato hvězda se přiblížila k severozápadu,

Over Bethlehem it took its rest;

Usadila se nad Betlémem;

And there it did both stop and stay,

A tam se zastavila a zůstala,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Přímo nad místem, kde ležel Ježíš.
