Lyrics and translation Bukas Palad - Gloria

Gloria

Minsan sa isang taon lamang
Maririnig mga tinig ng nagdiriwang
Isang kagalakan ang niñong sumilang
Naghari sa sambayan
Umasa at nagabang
Sa kanya
Sa tinapay ay nagpupugay (Gloria! Gloria!)
Kasabay ng alak at galak (Gloria! Gloria!)
Ating sinasaisip at sinasariwa ang diwa
Ng kapaskuhang kanyang pagsilang
Nang nabuhay ang kalangitan
Sa pagparito nya ay natupad nya ang
Ang pangako ng ama
Nagising sa pagkakahimbing

Gloria

Only once a year
We hear the voices of those celebrating
A joy that was born to you
He reigned over the people
They hoped and waited
For him
We offer bread in tribute (Gloria! Gloria!)
Along with wine and joy (Gloria! Gloria!)
We remember and relive the spirit
Of the Christmas of his birth
When heaven came alive
With his arrival, he fulfilled
The Father's promise
He awoke from slumber
