Lyrics
The first Noel the Angels did say
The Angels proclaimed the first Noël
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
The message was conveyed to certain poor shepherds in their resting fields
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
These shepherds were in fields, tending to their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
This event occurred on a cold winter's night, with profound darkness
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël - Repeated festive proclamation
Born is the King of Israel
The King of Israel is born
They looked up and saw a star
The shepherds noticed a star in the eastern sky
Shining in the east, beyond them far
This star was shining far beyond them
And to the earth it gave great light
The star illuminated the earth, providing significant light
And so it continued both day and night
This illumination continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël - Repeated festive proclamation
Born is the King of Israel
The King of Israel is born
The first Noel the Angels did say
Reiteration of the Angels proclaiming the first Noël
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
Again, this message was conveyed to certain poor shepherds in their resting fields
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
Reiteration that the shepherds were in fields, tending to their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Reiteration that this event occurred on a cold winter's night, with profound darkness
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Noël, Noël, Noël, Noël - Repeated festive proclamation
Born is the King of Israel
The King of Israel is born
