LONG, LONG AGO

Winds through the olive treesSoftly did blow,Round little BethlehemLong, long ago. 

Sheep on the hillside layWhiter than snow;Shepherds were watching them,Long, long ago. 

Then from the happy sky,Angels bent low,Singing their songs of joy,Long, long ago. 

For in a manger bed,Cradled we know,Christ came to Bethlehem,

很久很久以前

风儿轻轻地吹过橄榄树丛，吹过小小的伯利恒，很久很久以前。 

山坡上躺着比雪还白的羊群，牧羊人在看管它们，很久很久以前。 

天使们从幸福的天堂，俯下身子，欢快地歌唱，很久很久以前。

我们知道，这是因为 耶稣降生到伯利恒，以马槽当摇篮，很久很久以前
