Lyrics
Hoy a nacido el rey de Israel.
Un angel anuncio
Y en un dia especial
Vino al mundo el mesias, el Rey de Israel.
Mensajero del amor,
La esperanza y La Paz,
Una noche de invierno,
Le dio despertar.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Hoy a nacido El Rey de Israel.
Rey, Rey, de Israel
Hasta el cielo se vistio,
De alegria y de luz,
Y una estrella alumbraba ninito Jesus.
Desde lejos indico el exacto lugar,
Y los Reyes Magos fueron adorar.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Hoy a nacido el Rey de Israel.
Oooooooh!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Hoy a nacido el Rey de Israel

Meaning & Inspiration
“El Rey de Israel” retells the Nativity as an announcement of hope, peace, and divine love. The opening presents the birth of Israel’s King and Messiah, then turns to the angelic message and the joy surrounding the child. Its repeated “Noel” refrain keeps the birth itself at the center, while the image of heaven clothed in light gives the celebration a sense of wonder.
The account closely follows familiar details from the Gospel narratives. Luke records the angel’s announcement that a Savior and Messiah had been born, which supports the lyric’s proclamation of the King. Matthew describes visitors from the east following a star and coming to worship the child, matching the later scene of the Magi finding the place. By joining those details in a concise carol, the song presents Jesus’ birth as good news marked by guidance, adoration, and peace.
