The First Noel
Boney M (Holiday) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
The first Noel the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel





[Chorus]

The song begins with the angels proclaiming the news of Christ's birth to the shepherds who were tending to their flocks in the fields. The chorus "Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel" is an ancient word that means "Christmas" and is repeated as a joyful exclamation of the birth of the King of Israel.


The second verse describes how the shepherds saw a bright star shining in the east, which appeared to be guiding them to the location of baby Jesus. The star is a symbol of hope and represents the light of Christ that illuminates the world. The light of the star continued to shine both day and night until the shepherds reached their destination and found the baby in a manger.


Overall, the song captures the essence of the Christmas story and the hope and joy that it brings. The melody is upbeat and festive, making it a popular choice for carolers and holiday celebrations.

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
The shepherds who were poor and resting in the fields were the first to receive the news


In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
The shepherds were in the fields watching over their sheep


On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
The night was cold and long


Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

And to the earth it gave great light
The star was so bright that it lit up the earth


And so it continued both day and night
The star continued to shine both day and night
