Neighbor, what has you so excited? Do me please Haven't you a child is born that all want to see? Son of a pure and modest virgin, her name They say, her is the savior prophets proclaim
I would be to go with you so likely I'll go But can we take our time to see him? Shop on the Have you some to take the infant? Sugar-plums, too? I'm sure that house is lovely, tidy and new
I am afraid you're mistaken, wrong as can be This blessed maiden has no splendid place to stay For she within a wretched stable, dirty and poor There is no for your presents, only the floor
Surely she has a warm soft there for the child One has to and calm an infant so weak and so mild What sort of guards and servants has she to her aid? Cannot the heavenly father's power help the poor
All they could to find for a cradle, a manger bed of dusty, dry straw to pillow his head Joseph, her husband, he cares for Mary as he can In place of servant, ox and donkey are on
Traveling tires me and this journey a long way Only to see a new-born lying on hay Maybe you find excitement in this affair But I am used to things better in which to share
You must not talk way, my neighbor, mark what I say Upon my honor, this is our savior born on day It is his choice to so humbly there in a stall Granting his and grace so gently to one and all
O blessed mother, free us all arrogant pride May we, when on earth is ended,hasten to your side Daring to hope you present us to your dear son And that gain the bliss and joy of paradise won
