O, ce veste minunată is a traditional Christmas carol, sung primarily in Romanian-speaking communities and countries.
Like other folk songs, there are many versions of it; for instance, some have "Viflaim" for Bethlehem, some have "S-a născut Mesia" (The Messiah was born).
Lângă Viflaim se arată Cerul strălucea, îngerii veneau Pe-o raza curată.
Că la Betleem Maria, Săvârșind călătoria Într-un mic sălaș, lângă-acel oraș, A născut pe Mesia.
That in Bethlehem Mary, Having completed the trip, In a little space, near that town, She bore the Messiah His Son in God's Own Name, The Father has sent into the world!
