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
a tremar,
O Dio beato,
Ah! quanto ti costò l'avermi amato!
Ah! 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.
Giacché ti fece Amor povero ancora.

1.
You descend from the stars, oh King of Heaven
And come in a cave, with cold and chill
Oh my divine child, I see you here shivering
Oh 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.
