Comments:A traditional Christmas text with interjected cries of Noël! ("Noe!") and Alleluia. The basic text may be translated as follows
Today Christ is born;
Today a Savior has appeared.
Today on earth the angels sing, and the archangels rejoice;
Today the righteous exult, saying "Glory to God in the highest."
