Lyrics[]
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Laging nasa ating tabi
Ang mga nagmamahal
Hindi tayo binibitawan
Lagi tayong pinagdarasal
Nalalampasan ang pag-aalala
Sa bawat hakbang, magkasama
Nakikita na ang daan
Sa bagong yugtong pupuntahan
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Pinag-iisa tayong lahat
Ng magagandang kwento
Sa gitna ay may pagsubok
May ligaya sa dulo
Marami tayong pinagdaanan
Mahaba nang pinagsamahan
Bagong salaysay ng ating buhay
Ngayo'y magsisimula pa lang
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Noon, mga pangarap
Ay parang imposible
Sa kwento nating isusulat
Lahat ay puwedeng mangyari
Hilingin natin ang lahat
Ng kaya nating isipin
Tayo rin ay mamamangha
Sa kaya nating abutin
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
In the season of stars
May we all become lights
A tall burning candle
Glowing in our hearts
May we all be angels
Looking after each other
So we all are warmed
By true loving care
May we all be like gifts
Sharing good things we have
So we make a better place
Of the world where we live
Together we make a story
All of us young and old
The story of Christmas
The best story ever told
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa inyo ay totoo (Sa inyo)
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa inyo ay totoo (Sa inyo'y totoo)
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo (Sa mundo)
Sa inyo ay totoo (Sa inyo'y totoo)
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento (Pinakamaganda)
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa madilim na gabi
Isinilang Siya sa mundo (Siya sa mundo)
Sa inyo ay totoo
Ang Pasko ang pinakamagandang kwento
Ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa inyo'y totoo
Ang Pasko
Sa inyo'y totoo (Pinakamaganda)
Ang Pasko (Ang pinakamagandang kwento)
Sa inyo'y totoo
(In the season of stars)
Ang Pasko
(May we all become lights)
Sa inyo'y totoo
(A tall burning candle)
Ang Pasko
(Glowing in our hearts)
Forever grateful to you
Galing sa'yo
ang pinakamagandang kwento
Sa Kanya, laging totoo
Pasko ang simula
ng mas marami pang magandang kwento...
