Lyrics:
In a very cold night. No one was around.
Shiny little star. Was returning home.
Found a sudden silence. Peaceful and serene.
Dawn is nearly there. Snow is all around.
Pure white such as hope. Great such as love
Dark night was so gloomy. Turn out to be merry.
There are shooting stars. Falling all along
Bells around the corners. Ignited with light.
Approaching nearby. Christmas carols chants.
Ô Yeshua! O my Lord!
From that day and on. Goodwill in the world.
Jolly flourished and so, So is happiness.
For all the goodness. Ô come!
For all the children. Ô come!
For the hungry homeless, no bread, no refuge.
Waiting for Noel. Ô come!
Ô come to our home.
Bless us with your grace. Our awaited joy!
Ô Yeshua! O my Lord!
Newborn in manger. Jesus live in love.
My homeland is cold.
Warm it with your virtue.
Let it shine again. In the darkest times.
Warm us with your grace, and revive our faith.
Proclaim to the world. Jesus King of Peace!
Ô Yeshua! O my Lord! Ô Yeshua!
