VERSE 1            O ce veste minunată
                   în Betleem ni s-arată.

                   Astăzi s-a născut
                   cel făr' de-nceput,
                   cum au spus prorocii.

                   Astăzi s-a născut
                   cel făr' de-nceput,
                   cum au spus prorocii.

VERSE 2            Că la Betleem Maria,
                   săvârşind călătoria,

                   într-un mic sălaş,
                   lângă-acel oraş,
                   a născut pe Mesia.

                   Într-un mic sălaş,
                   lângă-acel oraş,
                   a născut pe Mesia.

VERSE 3            Pe Fiul în al Său nume,
                   Tatăl l-a trimis în lume

                   să se nască
                   şi să crească,
                   să ne mântuiască.

                   Să se nască
                   şi să crească,
                   să ne mântuiască.

--  How Wonderful News We Heard  --
--  (O ce veste minunată in English)  --

VERSE 1            How wonderful news we heard then,
                   so blessed are you, O Bethlehem!

                   On this night is born
                   Christ the Savior,
                   as the prophets have foretold.

                   On this night is born

VERSE 2            Near Bethlehem came Mary at night,
                   by a road that leads to mountains high.

                   Small and quiet town,
                   of King David's crown,
                   there was born Messiah.

VERSE 3            Christ Jesus came in name of God,
                   as the Father sent on earth His Son.

                   In a manger born
                   is the Savior,
                   to redeem the fallen world.

VERSE 1            Mikä ihmeellinen uutinen:
                   olet siunattu, oi Beetlehem!

                   Meille syntynyt

VERSE 2            Beetlehemiin saapui Maria,
                   tiellä kohti korkeita vuoria,

                   pieneen kaupunkiin,
                   seutuun Daavidin.
                   Siellä syntyi Messias.

VERSE 3            Pyhä Lapsi, nimessä Jumalan,
                   jonka Isä lähetti maailmaan

                   armoon kasvamaan,
                   maailman pelastamaan.
