In the bleak midwinter
凛冽寒冬里
Frosty wind made moan
霜风呜咽悲鸣
Earth stood hard as iron
大地坚如寒铁
Water like a stone
流水凝作冰石
Snow had fallen snow on snow snow on snow
皑皑白雪层层覆层层
In the bleak midwinter
凛冽寒冬里
Long ago
久远往昔时
Angels and archangels
天使与诸圣天使
May have gathered there
或许曾在此聚集
Cherubin and seraphin
智天使与炽天使
Thronged the air
翱翔天际
But only his mother
唯有他的母亲
In her maiden bliss
怀着圣洁的欢欣
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss
以亲吻敬拜所爱之人
What can I give him
我能献上什么
Poor as I am
虽如此贫寒
If I were a shepherd
若我身为牧羊人
I would bring a lamb
必将献上羔羊
If I were a wise man
若我身为智者
I would do my part
必当尽我所能
Yet what I have I give him
而我所有仅此而已
Give my heart
献上赤诚之心
