The First Noel

O Primeiro Natal

The First Noel

O primeiro Natal, o anjo disse,The first Nowell, the angel did say,
Foi a certos pastores pobres que estavam ali;Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
Nos campos onde guardavam suas ovelhas,In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
Numa noite fria de inverno que era tão profunda.On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Natal, Natal,Nowell, Nowell,
Natal, Natal,Nowell, Nowell,
Nasceu o Rei de Israel.Born is the King of Israel.

Eles olharam pra cima e viram uma Estrela,They looked up and saw a Star,
Brilhando no Leste, longe deles;Shining in the East, beyond them far;
E à terra, ela deu grande luz,And to the earth, it gave great light,
E assim continuou tanto de dia quanto de noite.And so it continued both day and night.

Natal, Natal,Nowell, Nowell,
Natal, Natal,Nowell, Nowell,
Nasceu o Rei de Israel.Born is the King of Israel.

A estrela se aproximou do Noroeste,The star drew nigh to the North-West,
Sobre Belém ela fez sua pausa,O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
E ali ela parou e ficou,And there it did, both stop and stay,
Bem sobre o lugar onde Jesus estava.Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Natal, Natal,Nowell, Nowell,
Natal, Natal,Nowell, Nowell,
Nasceu o Rei de Israel.Born is the King of Israel.
(Última vez) Natal, Natal,(Last time) Nowell, Nowell,
Natal, Natal.Nowell, Nowell.
