The First Noel
The first noel, the angels 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 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 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 northwest
O'er bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both pause and stay
Right o'er the place where jesus lay
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel !
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king 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, los ángeles dijeron
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
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 yacía Jesús
Noel, noel, noel, noel
¡Ha nacido el rey de Israel!
Luego entraron esos tres sabios
Con toda reverencia 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!
