Italian text

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 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.

Portuguese translation

1. Desceste das estrelas, ó Rei celeste,
E_à gruta_escura_e fria Tu vieste.
Ó divino Pequenino, eu te vejo_aqui tremer.
Ó Deus encarnado,
O quanto Te custou ter me_amado, o quanto Te custou ter me_amado.

2. A ti que és do mundo_o divino Criador,
Até agasalho_e fogo faltam meu Senhor.
Ó querido,_estremecido, como me toca ver te_assim.
Tamanha pobreza,
Só prova Teu amor, nossa riqueza.

3. Fruías lá no Céu toda ventura,
Mas sofres nestas palhas tanta_agrura.
Doce_Eleito do meu peito, longe foste por amor.
Ó meu Jesus, por que
Quiseste por nós todos tanto padecer.

4. Mas se_é da Tua vontade sofrer tanto assim,
Por que tantos gemidos, por que chorar assim?
Terno_Esposo, Deus ditoso, Te compreendo, meu Jesus.
Senhor querido,
Tu choras não de dor, mas de ferido_amor.

5. Tu choras porque sabes, que fui ingrato,
Depois de tanto_amor, tão pouco_amado.
Ó Eleito do meu peito, se no passado foi assim,
Não mais fique_em pranto,
Anseio_hoje dizer-Te que eu te amo.
