اليوم يولد من البتول  Al yaoum, youlado mina al-batool Today is born of the Virgin
الضابط الخليقة َ بأسرها Ad-dabito el khaleeqata bi asriha Who holds all creation
بقبضته، fi qabdatih in the hollow of His hand
     
اليوم يولد من البتول  Al yaoum, youlado mina al-batool Today is born of the Virgin
الضابط الخليقة َ بأسرها Ad-dabito el khaleeqata bi asriha Who holds all creation
بقبضته، fi qabdatih in the hollow of His hand
     
اليوم يولد من البتول  Al yaoum, youlado mina al-batool Today is born of the Virgin
الضابط الخليقة َ بأسرها Ad-dabito el khaleeqata bi asriha Who holds all creation
بقبضته، fi qabdatih in the hollow of His hand
     
الذي al-lathy Which
هو بجوهره غير ملموس Howa bi jawharihi ghayiro malmoos whose essence is intangible
يدرج في الأقمطة yodrajo fi al-aqmita wrapped in swaddling clothes
كطفل qa tiflin as a babe
الإله الذي ثبت السماوات قديما منذ البدء al-ilaho al-lathi thabbat assamawati qadeeman montho el bad' God who created the heavens in the beginning
يتكؤ في مزودٍ yattadio' fi mizwadin lies in a manger
     
الذي أمطر للشعب منان في القفر Allathi amtara lish-sha'bi manan fi al qafr He who showered the people with manna in the wilderness
يثتدي (يرتدي؟؟؟) من الثديين لبنا Yartady??? Min ath-thadyiayni labana feeds on milk from his mother's breasts
     
فتنو البيعة يستدعي المجوس??? Fatano el bee'ati yastadee' el Majoos??? The bridegroom of the church calls the Magi???
وابن العذراء يستقبل منهم الهدايا Wa ibno el Athra' yastaqbilo minhomo el hadaya And the son of the Virgin receives gifts from them.
     
نسجد لميلادك أيها المسيح  Nasjodo li miladika ayoha el maseeh We worship your birth, O Christ!
نسجد لميلادك أيها المسيح  Nasjodo li miladika ayoha el maseeh We worship your birth, O Christ!
نسجد لميلادك أيها المسيح  Nasjodo li miladika ayoha el maseeh We worship your birth, O Christ!
     
فأرنا ظهورك الإلهي Fa arina thohoraka el ilahi Show us your divine face!
