THE FIRST NOEL
The firts Noel es un villancico tradicional inglés. Aparece publicado por primera vez en Carols ancient and modern, en 1823, y se cree que es anterior, del siglo XVIII, concretamente. El texto aparece en versión americana ya que, por ejemplo, se cambia "The firts Nowell..." por "The firts Noel...).
The first Noel, the angel 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, the King of Israel. Angels from the realms of glory, wing your flight o'er all the Earth; Oh, ye, who sang creation's story. Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship, come and worship, Oh worship Christ, the new born King. The first Noel, the angel 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, the King of Israel.
