Engjėjt prej lavdisė sė qiejve
Shpallin sot njė lajm tė mirė,
Mė i mirė se gjith’ tė tjerėt:
Lindi sot Jezus Mesia.

Refreni

Ejani dhe adhurojeni
Zotin, shpėtimtarin sot!

Ju barinj, e lini tufėn
Qė nė fushė po kullot,
Se nė Bethlehem ka lindur
Shpėtimtari, Zoti, sot.

Refreni

Ejani, ju dijetarė,
Ju qė yllin keni parė;
E dhuratat merrni sot qė
Keni ju, mirrė, kem dhe ar.

Refreni

Dhe tė shenjtė para fronit
E nga larg me pritje v’rejnė:
Ai qė mbretėron nė qiell ka
Lindur sot nė Bethlehem.
