Traducción

1. ¿Qué Niño es este que duerme 2. ¿Por qué Él duerme en tal lugar,
en el regazo de María, do el buey y el asno comen?
a quien los ángeles ¡Oh buen cristiano, admira al Verbo
y los pastores están contemplando? que pide perdón por nosotros.

Él es el Cristo, el Rey, 3. Traed incienso, oro y mirra,

¡Cantad pastores y ángeles! venid a poseerle.
¡Venid trayendo cantos al Niño de María! El Rey de reyes trae salvación,
amantes, recibidlo.
