Original text and translations

Italian text Dolce fiamma, fuoco ardente, tu mi struggi lentamente. Ma fa' presto, vieni, o Dio: d'abbracciarti ho un gran disio. Gesù mio, Gesù mio, io con voce sospirosa, ma soave, amorosa, io sospiro il tuo Natal. Bambinello bello bello, vieni, vieni e non tardare. Bambinello bello bello, io sospiro il tuo Natale. Io sospiro vagheggiarti e tenerti stretto stretto sovra il cuore, sovra il petto, e baciare il tuo visin.

English translation Sweet flame, ardent fire, slowly thou consume me. But come early, come, o God: I long for hugging thee. My Jesus, my Jesus, with plaintive, but pleasing, amorous voice, I yearn for your Christmas. Beautiful infant Jesus, come, come, do not delay. Beautiful infant Jesus, I yearn for your Christmas. I yearn for admiring thee and holding thee tight on my heart, on my chest, and kissing your pretty face.
