1.
Tu scendi dalle stelle, o Re del Cielo,
E vieni in una grotta al freddo, al gelo.
O Bambino mio Divino,
Io ti vedo qui tremar.
O Dio beato,
E quanto ti costò l'avermi amato!

2.
A Te, che sei del mondo il Creatore
Mancano panni e fuoco, o mio Signore.
Caro eletto Pargoletto,
Quanto questa povertà
Più m'innamora,
Giacché ti fece Amor povero ancora.

English.png English translation

1.
You descend from the stars, o King of Heaven
And come in a cave, with cold and chill
O my divine Child,
I see you here shivering.
O blessed God
How much costed you to love me!

2.
You, the Creator of the World,
Miss dresses and fire, my Lord.
Dearest elected Child,
How this poverty
Makes me love you more,
Because Love made you poor for us.
