Italian text

Un astro nuovo splendido,
Luminoso più del dì
È sorto a Betlem fulgido;
Gesù Cristo, il Signor!

Maria, la madre vergine
Nel suo grembo lo portò
E poi al mondo lo donò;
Figlio Unigenito!

La pace al mondo porterà
Il dolore vincerà;
Ad ogni cuore donerà
La sua grazia e fedeltà
Finchè ogni uomo sempre più
Viva lieto nel Suo amor.

English translation

A bright new star

Brighter than words can say

Has risen in splendour over Bethlehem

For Jesus Christ, the Lord

He will bring peace to the world,

And conquer all suffering

Every heart will open in grace and faith

Until every man is so much more alive in His love

Mary, the virgin mother

Carried him in her womb,

And gave him unto the world,

The only begotten son.

He will bring peace to the world,

And conquer all suffering;

Every heart will open in grace and faith,

Until every man is so much more alive in His love
