Co’ tutto ch’era vierno, Ninno bello, nascettero a migliara rose e sciure. Non c'erano nemice pe' la terra: La pecora pasceva co' 'o lione. Restajeno 'ncantate e voccapierte pe' tantu tiempo senza di' parola. De pressa se scetajeno ll'aucielle... cantanno de na forma tutta nova: Pe' nsi' 'agrille, co' li strille, e zompanno 'a ccá e 'a llá: E' nato! E' nato! - decévano - lo Dio che nce ha criato! - When the little one was born in Bethlehem It was night, but it seemed the middle of the day! Although it was winter, little Ninno, You were born among a thousand roses and flowers. Enemies did not exist upon the Earth: The sheep grazed alongside the lion They were amazed and open-mouthed And did not speak for a long time. Suddenly the birds awoke Singing a new kind of music And thus hopping around And chirping With joy, ‘He is born, he is born!’ They sang, ‘The Lord who created us!’
