1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
the stars in the heavens looked down where He lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
and fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.
De nit i entre palles, dels seus ignorat,
en una establia Jesús s’encarnà.
Només les estrelles, i uns pobres pastors
van veure la glòria del nostre Senyor.
Però ara nosaltres, quan torni Nadal,
cerquem l’establia, i el cel estrellat.
I encara a la fosca s’encén la claror
quan altra vegada, trobem al Nadó.
