The First Noel
The first Nowell, 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.
Nowell, Nowell,
Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
They looked up and saw a Star,
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth, it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Nowell, Nowell,
Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
The star drew nigh to the North-West,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did, both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.
Nowell, Nowell,
Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
(Last time) Nowell, Nowell,
Nowell, Nowell.
El Primer Noel
El primer Noel, el ángel dijo,
Fue a ciertos pobres pastores en los campos donde yacían;
En campos donde yacían cuidando 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.
La estrella se acercó al Noroeste,
Sobre Belén tomó su descanso,
Y allí lo hizo, tanto parar como quedarse,
Justo sobre el lugar donde Jesús yacía.
Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel,
Ha nacido el Rey de Israel.
(Última vez) Noel, Noel,
Noel, Noel.
