13890. Gau Ixilla, Gau Donea

1 Gau ixilla, gau donea,
Zerutik jetxi da
Guazen guztiyok ariñ ariñ.
Aingeru eta artzayakiñ,
Gu gatik jayo dalako
Jesus Belenen.

2 Gau erdiyan abesturik
Aingeruak zerutik:
Aintza zeruan Jainkoari
Pakea lurrean gizona’ri,
Gu gatik jayo dalako
Jesus Belenen.

3 Gau erdirik, ederna
Artzayentzat onena,
Aingeru taldea gaba argitzen,
Gizonen artean berri ematen,
Gu gatik jayo dalako
Jesus Belenen.

4 Artzayakin estalpera
Guazen danok batera,
Askatxoan dago etzana,
Eru lurren Jaun da Jabe,
Gu gatik jayo dalako
Belengo zoriona.

5 Gau santua, gau donea!
Jainkoa jetxi da
Zeru goi—goitik estalpera,
Izaretatik seaskatxora,
Lo dago Jesus Aurra,
Lo dago Jesus Aurra.
