The Virgin gave birth to her creator
In swaddling clothes, laid in a manger
There was no room at all, a place to rest for guests
St. Mary found a barn, to let her baby rest.

ድንግል ፈጣሪዋን ወለደችው
በመጠቅለያም ጠቀቀለለችው
የለምና ስፍራ ለንግዶች ማረፊያ
ግርግም አስተኛችው በከብቶች ማደርያ

She became overwhelmed, the city of David
The miracle of the birth of our great Lord
To announce the good news, the Angel descended.
It shined as a bright light, The glory of the child.
This is a mystery, that cannot be expressed,
But in her heart Virgin Mary kept it guarded (2)

The wise men they arrived from the eastern nations
They brought gold, incense, myrrh, to the child’s location
They found the baby while carried by his mother
They proclaimed of this birth, to all of the others.
This is a mystery, that cannot be expressed,
But in her heart Virgin Mary kept it guarded (2)

The land of Judah was filled with glory and praise
A Galilean king has come from Nazareth
about this miracle, let Bethlehem proclaim
When she stopped the census, for heavenly worship
This is a mystery, that cannot be expressed,
But in her heart Virgin Mary kept it guarded (2)

God became a human, he who could not be seen
As the second Adam, he came as a person
His wisdom mesmerized the young, and perfect bride
The word had become flesh, it became unified
This is a mystery, that cannot be expressed,
But in her heart Virgin Mary kept it guarded (2)
