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, 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.
