Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

The people walking in darknessLa gente que camina en la oscuridad

Have seen a great light;Ha visto una gran luz;

On those living in the shadowSobre aquellos que viven en la sombra

A light has dawned.Ha amanecido una luz.

You've enlarged the nationHas agrandado la nación

Increased their joy;Aumentado su alegría;

They rejoice before youSe regocijan ante ti

As people rejoice at the harvestComo la gente se regocija en la cosecha

For you have shattered the yoke that burdens them,Porque has destrozado el yugo que los carga,

The rod of their oppressor.La vara de su opresor.

Because to us a child is bornPorque nos ha nacido un niño

A son is given to us.Un hijo se nos ha dado.

And the government will be on his shoulders.Y el gobierno estará sobre sus hombros.

And he will be calledY será llamado

Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty GodMaravilloso Consejero, Dios Poderoso

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Padre Eterno, Príncipe de Paz.

Of the increase of his government and peaceDel aumento de su gobierno y paz

There will be no endNo habrá fin

He'll reign over his kingdomReinará sobre su reino

Upholding it with justice and righteousnessSosteniéndolo con justicia y rectitud

From that time on and forever.Desde ese momento y para siempre.
