Hodie Christus natus est
Hodie Salvator apparuit:
Holdie in terra canunt Angeli,
Laetantur Archangeli:
Hodie exsultant just, dicentes:
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
et en terra pax homnibus
bonae voluntatis.
Allelulia!

Today Christ is born.
Today the Savior appears:
Today on earth angels sing,
Archangels rejoice:
Today the righteous rejoice,
saying:
Glory to God in the Highest,
and on earth peace,
good will to men.
Alleluia!
