Christmas Lullaby Ninnananna di Natale
Clear in the darkness a light shines in Bethlem Sopra Betlemme un bagliore divino
Angels are singing their sound fills the air squarcia la notte e rischiara la via
Wise men have journed to greet their messiah guida i viandanti là dove un bambino
but only a mother and baby lie there riposa abbracciando sua madre Maria
Ave maria Ave Maria
hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing Un coro angelico intona lassù
Avemaria Ave Maria
Maiden and mother of jesus our king La Ninna Nanna per Cristo Gesù
Where are his courtiers and who are his people Re senza regno né scettro regale
Why does he bear neither ceptre nor crown sudditi, trono, corona non ha
shepherds his courtiers the poor for his people ci porta in dono un messaggio immortale
peace as his sceptre and love for his crown di pace d'amore e di carità
Ave maria Ave Maria
hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing Un coro angelico intona lassù
Avemaria Ave Maria
Maiden and mother of jesus our king La Ninna Nanna per Cristo Gesù
What though your treasures are not gold or incense Madre santissima presso al tuo seno
Lay them before him with hearts full of love dorme pacifico il nostro messia;
Praise to the christ child and praise to his mother tra le tue braccia riposa sereno
who bore us a saviour by grace from above cullato alle note d'una melodia
Ave maria Ave Maria
hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing Un coro angelico intona lassù
Avemaria Ave Maria
Maiden and mother of jesus our king La Ninna Nanna per Cristo Gesù
