Lyrics
A spaceman came traveling
A spaceman arrived on his spaceship from a distant place.
On his ship from a far
The ship had traveled light years to reach its destination.
It was light years away
The mission of the spaceman began a long time ago.
Since his mission had start
He stopped over a village, hovering like a star in the sky.
And over a village he halted his craft
The spaceship paused over a village and remained suspended.
And it hung in the sky like a star
It appeared in the sky like a star.
Just like a star
Reiteration of the spacecraft resembling a star.
He followed the light came down to the shed
The spaceman followed a light to a shed.
Where a mother and child
In the shed, a mother and child lay on a bed.
Where lying there on a bed
A bright silver light illuminated the spaceman's head.
And a bright light of silver shone his head
The spaceman had an angelic face, causing fear in them.
And he had the face of an angel
Expressing the spaceman's appearance with angelic features.
And they were afraid
The mother and child were frightened by the presence.
And the stranger spoke he said do not fear
The spaceman reassured them not to fear.
I've come from a planet a long way from here
He communicated being from a distant planet.
And I bring a message from mankind to hear
The spaceman brought a message for mankind.
And suddenly the sweetest music
Suddenly, sweet music filled the air.
Had filled the air and it went
The music went on with "La, la, la," expressing peace and goodwill.
La, la, la peace and goodwill to all man
The lyrics continue, emphasizing love for the child.
And love for the child
Reiteration of the message of peace and love for the child.
And it went la, la, la
Reiteration of the message of peace and love for mankind.
Peace and goodwill to all man
-And love for the child
Reiteration of the message of peace and love for the child.
This lovely music
The beautiful music resonated through the ground.
Went trembling through the ground
The impact of the music woke many people.
And many were waken on hearing the sound
Travelers on the road discovered the village.
And travelers on the road
The ship's light illuminated the entire village.
The village they found
People were awakened by the ship's light.
By the light of that ship in the sky
The ship's light shone all around.
That shone all around
Empty line, no specific meaning.
And just before dawn
Just before dawn, the sky started to brighten.
At the paling of the sky
The stranger announced his departure at dawn.
The stranger returned
The spaceman had to leave, indicating a temporary visit.
And said now I must fly
He mentioned a return after two thousand years.
When two thousand years
Time reference to the return of the spaceman's message.
Of your time has gone by
The song will restart with a baby's cry after two thousand years.
The song will begin once again
Empty line, no specific meaning.
To a baby's cry and it went
Reiteration of the message of peace and love for mankind.
La, la, la peace and goodwill to all man
Reiteration of the message of peace and goodwill.
And love for the child
Final emphasis on love for the child.
