The First Noel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

Born is the King of Israel.

Nasceu o Rei de Israel.

The first Noel the angel did say

O primeiro Noel o anjo anunciou

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

A certos pastores pobres deitados no campo;

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

Em campos onde guardavam as suas ovelhas,

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

Numa noite fria de inverno que era tão profunda.

They looked up and saw a star

Levantaram a vista e viram uma estrela.

Shining in the east, beyond them far;

Brilhando no oriente, longe deles;

And to the earth it gave great light,

E à terra deu grande luz,

And so it continued both day and night.

E assim continuou de dia e de noite.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

Esta estrela aproximou-se do noroeste,

Over Bethlehem it took its rest;

Parou sobre Belém;

And there it did both stop and stay,

E ali parou e ficou,

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Mesmo sobre o lugar onde Jesus jazia.
