Dadme albricias, hijos d'Eva!
Di de qué dartelas han?
Que es nascido el nuevo Adan.
Oh hy de Dios y que nueva!

Dadmelas y haved placer
Pues esta noche es nascido,
El Mexias prometido,
Dios y hombre, de mujer.

Y su nascer nos releva
Del pecado y de su afan
Que es nascido el nuevo Adan.
Oh hy de Dios, y que nueva!

Sons of Eve, give me glad tidings.
Why should we give them to you?
Born is He, the new Adam.
Almighty God, what glad tidings!

Pay my boon, and sing for joy,
For tonight is born our Savior,
The Messiah promised to us
Man and God, a Virgin’s boy

By His birth, He gives us pardon
For the sin and wrong we do.
Born is He, the new Adam.
Almighty God, what glad tidings!
