El Primer Noel

Sufjan Stevens

The First Noel

The first Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay a-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 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

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from the country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

This star drew nigh to the north-west
Over Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Then entered in those wise men three
Fell reverently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the kind of Israel

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood mankind has bought
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

El Primer Noel

El primer Noel el ángel anunció
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
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

Y por la luz de esa misma estrella
Tres sabios vinieron de lejos
Para buscar a un Rey era su intención
Y seguir la estrella dondequiera que fuera
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
Ha nacido el Rey de Israel

Entonces entraron esos tres sabios
Se postraron reverentemente sobre sus rodillas
Y ofrecieron allí en su presencia
Su oro, mirra e incienso
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Ha nacido el Rey de Israel

Entonces todos juntos de común acuerdo
Cantemos alabanzas a nuestro Señor celestial
Que ha creado el cielo y la tierra de la nada
Y con su sangre ha redimido a la humanidad
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Ha nacido el Rey de Israel
