Christ is born, joy to the world, here's a good time, good day to you.
Here's a good boy born yesterday, born yesterday, born in heaven.
He was born by the Virgin Mary, raised by the Holy Virgin.
He rode a golden colt and went down to the crossroads
The thousand Jews, the thousand Jews, and the myriads of Jews took him.
Blood dripped from the limbs and from the heart, no anger was seen.
Wherever it dripped it was myrrh, it was myrrh and fragrance.
The whole world has smelled it, you smell it too, master.
You, master, my good master.
The lads of Christ are come and sing to the householder,
My landlord and king.
Go to the shelf and come to the door, give us dates and hazelnuts
And if you let us in, joy at your door.
