O Primeiro Natal

The First Christmas

O Primeiro Natal

Behold, an angel proclaimed the first ChristmasEis que um anjo proclamou o primeiro Natal
To some poor shepherds near Bethlehem, who in the fieldsA uns pobres pastores ao pé de Belém, que nos campos
Guarding your flock after allA guardar seu rebanho, afinal
They also tolerated the cold at nightSuportavam da noite o frio também

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, ChristmasNatal, Natal, Natal, Natal
The divine King is coming into the world!É vindo ao mundo o Rei divinal!

Suddenly, up in the sky, a beautiful star appeared andDe repente, lá no céu, linda estrela surgiu e
In the east it shone with strange brillianceNo oriente brilhou com estranho fulgor
A strong light came to earth and fell from the skyVeio à terra forte luz que do céu lhe caiu
Many nights still in brilliant splendorMuitas noites ainda em fulgente esplendor

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, ChristmasNatal, Natal, Natal, Natal
The divine King is coming into the world!É vindo ao mundo o Rei divinal!

Such a star appearedTal estrela apareceu
And the wizards guidedE os magos guiou
Along the road to Belém, the right direction leads themPela estrada a Belém, rumo certo os conduz
And finally getting thereE chegando ali, por fim
The star stoppedA estrela parou
Right above the house inMesmo acima da casa em
That was JesusQue estava Jesus

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, ChristmasNatal, Natal, Natal, Natal
The divine King is coming into the world!É vindo ao mundo o Rei divinal!

And the magicians, with eagerness, felt sublime fearE os magos, com afã, se sublime temor
The knees buckled in that placeOs joelhos dobraram naquele lugar
For liberal and rare value offersPara ofertas liberais e de raro valor
What incense, gold and myrrh, to the Child to giveQual incenso, ouro e mirra, ao Menino entregar

And with them, we saw, with intense fervorE com eles, vimos nós, com intenso fervor
Give sincere praise to those who loved usDar louvores sinceros a quem nos amou
Worship the Supreme Lord from the heartAdorar de coração o Supremo Senhor
That by dying on the cross, our souls savedQue morrendo na cruz, nossas almas salvou
