Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountains, over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountains that Jesus Christ is born.
1.
While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens there shone a holy light.
Refrain
2.
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo, above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus, that hailed our Saviour's birth!
Refrain
3.
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born,
and brought us God's salvation. That blessed Christmas morn.
Refrain
Italian translation
Refrain:
Va' dillo alle montagne!Ditto alle genti d'ogni terra,
Va' dillo alle montagne! Ch'è nato il Salvator
1.
Pastori che restate, sui monti a vigilar,
la Luce voi vedete, la stella di Gesù
Refrain
2.
In una mangiatoia un bimbo aspetterà,
che l'uomo ancor ritrovi la strada dell'amor.
Refrain
3.
Se il nostro canto è immenso, pastore non tremar,
noi Angeli cantiamo, è nato il Salvator.
Refrain
