The First Noel
Traditional - Arranged by Brian Ahern
The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
This star drew night to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
El Primer Noel
El primer Noel, el ángel dijo,
Fue a ciertos pobres pastores en los campos donde yacían;
En campos donde cuidaban sus ovejas,
En una fría noche de invierno que era tan profunda.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Ha nacido el Rey de Israel.
Miraron hacia arriba y vieron una estrella
Brillando en el Este, más allá de ellos lejos;
Y a la tierra le dio gran luz,
Y así continuó tanto de día como de noche.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Ha nacido el Rey de Israel.
Esta estrella se acercó al noroeste,
Sobre Belén tomó su descanso;
Y allí se detuvo y permaneció,
Justo sobre el lugar donde Jesús yacía.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
