Winds through the olive trees
Softly did blow,
Round little Bethlehem
Long, long ago.
Sheep on the hillside lay
Whiter than snow;
Shepherds were watching them,
Long, long ago.
Then from the happy sky,
Angels bent low,
Singing their songs of joy,
Long, long ago.
For in a manger bed,
Cradled we know,
Christ came to Bethlehem,

很久很久以前
風兒輕輕地
吹過橄欖樹叢，
吹過小小的伯利恆，
很久很久以前。
山坡上躺着
比雪還白的羊羣，
牧羊人在看管它們，
很久很久以前。
天使們從幸福的天堂，
俯下身子，
歡快地歌唱，
很久很久以前。
我們知道，這是因爲
耶穌降生到伯利恆，
以馬槽當搖籃，
很久很久以前。
