Alegráos pastores

Language: Spanish (Español)

Our translations: GER

Alegráos pastores,
ya viene el albore.
Tened alegría,
que ya viene el día.
Alégrese el suelo
con tal regocijo
pues de Dios el Hijo
hoy baja del cielo,
y en humano velo,
por vuestros amores.
Alegráos pastores,
ya viene el albore.
Tened alegría,
que ya viene el día.

Freut euch ihr Hirten

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Spanish (Español)

Freut euch ihr Hirten,
es dämmert der Morgen.
Seid froh
ob der Ankunft des Tages.
Es freut sich die Erde,
sie jubelt desgleichen,
denn heute stieg Gottes Sohn 
vom Himmel herab,
als Mensch trat er auf
aus Liebe zu euch.
Freut euch ihr Hirten,
es dämmert der Morgen.
Seid froh
ob der Ankunft des Tages.
