Tu scendi dalle stelle,
You come down from the stars,
O Re del Cielo,
O King of Heaven,
e vieni in una grotta,
and you come into a grotto,
al freddo e al gelo.
into the cold and the frost.
O Bambino mio Divino
O my Divine Little Child
Io ti vedo qui a tremar,
I see you trembling here,
O Dio Beato
O Blessed God
Ma quanto ti costò
But how much it cost you
l'averci amato!
to have loved us!
A te, che sei del mondo
To you, who are the Creator
il Creatore,
of the world,
mancano panni e fuoco;
you lack cloth and fire;
O mio Signore!
O my Lord!
Caro eletto Pargoletto,
Dear chosen little child,
Quanto questa povertà
How much this poverty
più mi innamora!
makes me fall even more in love!
Giacché ti fece amor
Since love made you
povero ancora!
poor as well!
