Translation - Portuguese-English - Natal, Feliz natal Mesmo que seja pequenino...

the child God was born

Or even better "the infant God" ??

Why don't you use "our Lord" or something like that. I doubt they use "child God" in English, sounds a little awkward.

It sounds REALLY awkward!!!
Besides in Portugues is used the expression
"Deus menino" to refer to Jesus at his birth. That's why I still believe Jesus is the best option.

Sorry for interputing...since I'm NOT able to understand the source text in Portuguese but...just for fun GOOGLED jesus child, hm...and found several choices

Jesus Child Art Gallery here
WikipediA here

What about Baby Jesus?

Well the second verse doesn't make much sense in English really (not to me, not right now) within this context(I get what it means but mostly by reading the Pt text). Perhaps a case were what with that and the last verse notes could be added?

I like it as it is given how this translation is going to be used but I guss I like notes too much

I've made a major edit here, and I will re-set the voting.

Creio que o mais correto à sua tradução seja:
Christmas, Merry Christmas
Even being a small one
Let us sing with happiness
God little boy was born

That's more literal than the one we have now, Laura, but it doesn't sound right in English.

kafetzou (also Laura)

I also know a Laura

Wow this one is great! Both perfect English and "singable"

Kafetzou:

I agree with you...
??? ( I just don't have the emoticons to add)

Lilian, everyone has them. If you click on "Post a message" instead of the blue arrow, you'll see them. Just click on one to use it.

I've found them!!!
Thanks Kafetzou.
Nobody had told me about them!

You found out the same way we all did - by asking!

Ok, now...How to enhance ?

Guilon:
Aún no he descubierto como se hace para resaltar las letras, usar negrito...
Me explicas?
Como puedes ver, los emoticons ya los sé usar...jajaja
