If On a Winter's Night is an album by Sting from 2009. Although very calm and unusual in choice of music it was quite successful. "Gabriel's Message" is a Basque Christmas folk carol.
The Angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flames
"Oh hail" has said he to Holy Maiden Mary
Most highly favoured maid
Gloria
Forknown a blessed mother thou shalt be
For generations loan and honnaly
Thy son shall be Imanuel th'as years forsawt
Most highly favoured maid
Gloria
The gentle Mary neatly bowed the head
"To me, be as it pleaseth God" she said
"My soul shall whole and magnify this holy maid"
Most highly favoured maid
Gloria
Of her Imanuel, the Christ was crossed
His Bethlehem all honor Christmas ghost
As everyone through out the world will Heaven save
Most highly favoured maid
Gloria
