Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,

諾埃爾，諾埃爾，諾埃爾，諾埃爾，

The first Noel the angel did say

天使說的第一個聖誕節

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;

是向躺在田野裡的幾個貧窮牧羊人說的；

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,

在他們放羊的田野裡，

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

在一個寒冷而深邃的冬夜。

They looked up and saw a star

他們抬頭看見了一顆星星

Shining in the east, beyond them far;

在東方閃耀，遠離他們；

And to the earth it gave great light,

並給大地帶來了光明，

And so it continued both day and night.

於是日夜不停地繼續下去。

This star drew nigh to the northwest,

這顆星星靠近西北。

Over Bethlehem it took its rest;

在伯利恆上空停下；

And there it did both stop and stay,

在那裡停下來並停留。

Right over the place where Jesus lay.

就在耶穌躺著的地方上方。
