The First Noel / Born Is the King
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
