Death Of The First Born
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
Noel, noel, noel, noel, oh
Born is the king of Israel, Israel

Oh, born is the king (born is the king) of Israel (Israel, Israel) yeah
Israel, Israel
Born is the, born is the king, born is the king
Born is the king, born is the king
Born is the king, born is the king
The king of Israel (king of, king, the first noel, the angels did say)




Born is the, born is the king, born is the king
Born is the king, born is the king

Overall Meaning

The song "The First Noel / Born Is the King" by Mariah Carey is a Christmas carol that tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ. The first verse describes what the angels said to the poor shepherds in the fields where they lay keeping their sheep on a cold winter's night. The repeated use of the word "Noel" emphasizes the joy and celebration surrounding the birth of the king of Israel. The second verse details how the shepherds looked up and saw a star that shone so bright that it continued to give light both day and night. This star led them to the birthplace of Jesus, which is why it is considered a significant symbol of Christmas.


The lyrics show the contrast of the humble surroundings in which Jesus was born, with the grandeur and significance of his birth. The shepherds represented the ordinary working-class people who were the first to hear about the birth of the messiah, rather than the ruling class or the wealthy. Therefore, the song highlights the message of Christmas being for everyone, irrespective of social status or wealth.


In conclusion, "The First Noel / Born Is the King" is a classic Christmas carol that has been interpreted and sung by various artists over the years. It tells the story of the birth of Jesus Christ and conveys the message of hope and joy that comes with it.

This is for my people who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We won't never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my people who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cause we won't never say bye

As a child, there were the times
I didn't get it, but you kept me alive
I didn't know why you didn't show up sometimes on Sunday mornings
And I missed you, but I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things' separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show because you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say if you were with me today, face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on, I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you, but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've reached the better place
Still, I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you've gone too soon and the hardest thing to do is say bye

Bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

And you never got a chance to see how good I've done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong you'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on, I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you, but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've reached the better place
Still, I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you've gone too soon and the hardest thing to do is say bye

Bye, bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (hardest thing to say bye)
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (bye)
Bye bye (bye bye)

This is for my people who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We won't never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my people who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cause we won't never say bye bye

Never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)
Every day life goes on, I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you, but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've reached the better place
Still, I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you

And the hardest thing to do is say bye bye (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
It's hard to say bye bye, bye bye, bye bye (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
So come on, somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high, hey (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
'Cause this is for my people who just lost somebody (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye) So this is for everybody
(Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye) Just kept your head to the sky
(Bye, bye) We won't never say bye bye

Tradução : Essa é para todos que acabaram de perder alguém
Seu melhor amigo, seu bebê, seu homem ou sua mulher
Levantem suas mãos bem alto
Nós nunca iremos dizer adeus (não, não, não)

Mamães, papais, irmãs, irmãos, amigos e primos
Essa é para todos que perderam suas avós
Levantem suas cabeças para o céu, pois nunca iremos dizer adeus

Quando criança, haviam aqueles momentos
Em que eu não entendia muito bem as coisas, mas você me ensinava
Eu não sabia por que às vezes você não aparecia
Nas manhãs de domingo, e eu sentia sua falta
Mas fico feliz que nós conversamos sobre isso

Todas aquelas coisas de adulto, que a separação traz
Você nunca me contava
Você nunca deixava atrapalhar, porque você me amava, e obviamente
Haveriam muito mais coisas a serem ditas
Se você estivesse cara a cara comigo hoje

Eu nunca pensei que fosse possível sofrer assim
E todo dia, a vida segue adiante
Eu queria poder conversar com você um pouco
Sinto sua falta, mas tento não chorar
Enquanto o tempo passa

E é verdade que você encontrou um lugar melhor
Mas ainda assim, eu daria o mundo para ver o seu rosto
E estar perto de você
Mas parece que você se foi muito cedo
Agora a coisa mais difícil é dizer adeus

Adeus, adeus, adeus
Adeus, adeus, adeus
Adeus, adeus, adeus
Adeus, adeus

E você nunca teve a chance de ver o quão bem eu estou
E você nunca teve a chance de me ver de volta ao topo
Eu queria que você estivesse aqui para comemorarmos juntos
Eu queria que pudéssemos passar o fim de ano juntos

Eu me lembro quando você costumava me colocar para dormir
Com o ursinho de pelúcia que você me deu, que eu abraçava apertado
Eu pensava que você era tão forte, que superaria qualquer coisa
É tão difícil aceitar o fato de que você se foi pra sempre

Eu nunca pensei que fosse possível sofrer assim
E todo dia, a vida segue adiante
Eu queria poder conversar com você um pouco
Sinto sua falta, mas tento não chorar
Enquanto o tempo passa (enquanto o tempo passa)

E é verdade que você encontrou um lugar melhor
Mas ainda assim, eu daria o mundo para ver o seu rosto
E estar perto de você
Mas parece que você se foi muito cedo
Agora a coisa mais difícil é dizer adeus (oh)

Adeus, adeus, adeus (a coisa mais difícil é dizer adeus)
Adeus, adeus, adeus
Adeus, adeus, adeus (adeus)
Adeus (adeus)
