The Holly And The Ivy/A La Nanita Nana/Joseph Dearest, Joseph Mine/Whence Comes This Rush Of Wings

歌詞

The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown: The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer And the playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a blossom, As white as lily flow'r, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To be our sweet Saviour: The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer And the playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good The rising of the sun, And the running of the deer And the playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir. A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea, Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea, Bendito sea. Fuentecilla que corres clara y sonora Ruiseñor en la selva cantando lloras Callad mientras la cuna se balancea A la nanita nana, nanita ea. A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea, Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea, Bendito sea. Manojito de rosas y de alelíes ¿Qué es lo que estás soñando que te sonríes? Cuáles son tus sueños, dilo alma mía, mas ¿Qué es lo que murmuras? Eucaristía. A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea, Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea, Bendito sea. Pajaritos y fuentes, auras y brisas Respetad ese sueño y esas sonrisas Callad mientras la cuna se balancea Que el Niño está soñando, bendito sea. A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea, Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea, Bendito sea. Joseph dearest, Joseph mine, Help me cradle the child divine; God reward thee and all that's thine In paradise, so prays the mother Mary. Gladly, dear one, lady mine, Help I cradle this child of thine; God's own light on us both shall shine In paradise, as prays the mother Mary. He came among us at Christmas time, At Christmastime, in Bethlehem; Men shall bring Him from far and wide Love's diadem: Jesu, Jesu, Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us Peace to all that have goodwill! God, who heaven and earth doth fill, Comes to turn us away from ill, As all may see In Jesus, Son of Mary. He came among us at Christmas time, At Christmastime, in Bethlehem; Men shall bring Him from far and wide Love's diadem: Jesu, Jesu, Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us Whence comes this rush of wings afar, Following straight the Noel star? Birds from the woods in wondrous flight, Bethlehem seek this Holy Night. "Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here, Into this stable, poor and drear?" "Hast'ning we seek the newborn King, And all our sweetest music bring." Angels and shepherds, birds o' the sky, Come where the Son of God doth lie; Christ on earth with man doth dwell, Sing oh sing "Noel, Noel."
