Gabriel's Message - Celtic Thunder translation in German

Gabriel's Message

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail," said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
Most highly favored lady," Gloria!

"For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
All generations laud and honor thee,
Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
Most highly favored lady," Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
"To me be as it pleaseth God," she said,
"My soul shall laud and magnify his holy Name."
Most highly favored lady, Gloria!

Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born
In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn,
And lowly men throughout the world will ever say--
"Most highly favored lady," Gloria!

Gabriels Botschaft

Der Engel Gabriel kam vom Himmel her,
Seine Flügel wie Schnee, seine Augen wie Feuer sehr;
"Sei gegrüßt", sprach er, "du demütige Maria,
Hochbegnadete Frau," Gloria!

"Denn du wirst eine gesegnete Mutter sein,
Alle Geschlechter werden dich preisen,
Dein Sohn soll Emmanuel heißen, wie vorhergesagt,
Hochbegnadete Frau," Gloria!

Da neigte Maria demütig ihr Haupt,
"Mir geschehe, wie Gott es erlaubt", sprach sie stolz,
"Meine Seele preist und verherrlicht seinen heiligen Namen."
Hochbegnadete Frau, Gloria!

Von ihr wurde Emmanuel, der Christ, geboren
In Bethlehem, an einem Weihnachtsmorgen,
Und die Menschen werden immer sagen auf dieser Welt--
"Hochbegnadete Frau," Gloria!
