"Anyway, so I was just fiddling about with my guitar and came up with a few chords. I was going for a kind of 'medieval' folk Christmas song and then the lyrics came to me. Not bad, eh?"
| Gaudete, Gaudete! Christus et natus Ex maria virgine, Gaudete! |
Rejoice, Rejoice! Christ is born Of the virgin Mary, Rejoice! | |
| Tempus ad est gratiae, Hoc quod optabamus; Carmina laetitiae, Devote redamus. |
It is now the time of grace That we have desired; Let us sing songs of joy, Let us give devotion. |
|
| Deus homo factus est, Natura mirante; Mundus renovatus est A Christo regnante. |
God was made man, And nature marvels; The world was renewed By Christ who is King. |
|
| Ezechiellis porta Clausa pertransitur; Unde lux est orta Salus invenitur. |
The closed gate of Ezechiel Has been passed through; From where the light rises Salvation is found. |
|
| Ergo nostra cantio, Psallat iam in lustro; Benedicat Domino: Salus Regi nostro. |
Therefore let our assembly now sing, Sing the Psalms to purify us; Let it praise the Lord: Greetings to our King. |

Your tuneful post was overtaken by some foreigner who, as far as I know, isn't standing for any election in which I have a vote.
Never mind I have Steeleye Span!
