Reno erat Rudolphus
Nasum rubrum habebat;
Si quando hunc videbas,
Hunc candere tu dicas.

Omnes renores alii
Semper hunc deridebant;
Cum misero Rudolpho
In ludis non ludebant.

Santus Nicholas dixit
Nocte nebulae,
"Rudolphe, naso claro
Nonne currum tu duces?"

Tum renores clambant,
"Rudolphe, delectus es?
Cum naso rubro claro
Historia descendes!"

I'd like to make one comment:

In Latin, the word "Reno" literally means "reindeer skin." In the Roman Empire, the Romans probably never saw a live reindeer, but they obtained their skins through trade. So, the songs literal translation is "Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer skin."
