The First Noel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.

Ha nacido el Rey de Israel.

The first Noel the angel did say

El primer Noel lo anunció el ángel

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

A ciertos pastores pobres acostados en el campo;

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

En campos donde cuidaban sus ovejas,

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

Una noche de invierno fría y muy oscura.

They looked up and saw a star

Alzaron la vista y vieron una estrella

Shining in the east, beyond them far;

Brillando en el oriente, lejos de ellos;

And to the earth it gave great light,

Y a la tierra dio gran luz,

And so it continued both day and night.

Y así continuó de día y de noche.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

Esta estrella se acercó al noroeste,

Over Bethlehem it took its rest;

Se detuvo sobre Belén;

And there it did both stop and stay,

Y allí se detuvo y permaneció,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Justo sobre el lugar donde Jesús yacía.
