The first Noel the angel did say
– Owokuqala unowa ingelosi yathi
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
– Kwakukho abalusi abathile abangamahlwempu emasimini njengoko babelele
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
– Emasimini apho babelala khona begcina izimvu zabo
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep
– Ngobusuku obubandayo babunzulu kakhulu
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
– Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
– Ukumkani Wakwasirayeli uzelwe!
They looked up and saw a star
– Bakhangela phezulu babona inkwenkwezi
Shining in the East beyond them far
– Kukhanya Empuma ngaphaya kwabo kude
And to the earth it gave great light
– Kwaye emhlabeni wanika ukukhanya okukhulu
And so it continued both day and night
– Kwaye ke waqhubeka imini nobusuku
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
– Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
– Ukumkani Wakwasirayeli uzelwe!
Then let us all with one accord
– Masithi sonke ngamxhelo mnye
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
– Mvumeleni Uncuthu lwengoma uthixo wethu osezulwini
That hath made Heaven and earth of nought
– Wenza Izulu nomhlaba ngelize
And with His blood mankind hath bought
– Kwaye ngegazi lakhe uluntu luthenge
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
– Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
– Ukumkani Wakwasirayeli uzelwe!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
– Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King
– Uzelwe Ngukumkani
Born is the King
– Uzelwe Ngukumkani
Born is the King of Israel!
– Ukumkani Wakwasirayeli uzelwe!
