Tu scendi dalle stelle, O Re del Cielo,
e vieni in una grotta, al freddo al gelo. O Bambino mio Divino Io ti vedo qui a tremar, O Dio Beato Ah, quanto ti costò l'avermi amato! A te, che sei del mondo il Creatore,
Tu che godi il gioir nel Divin Seno,
Ma se fu tuo volere il tuo patire,
Tu piangi per vederti da me ingrato
Tu dormi, o Ninno mio, ma intanto il Core,
Dunque a morir per me Tu pensi, o Dio,

TRANSLATION: (literal)
From stars descending, O king of Heavens, you come down to a cave, In the cold and ice. O my divine Child, I see you here trembling! O blessed God, How much it cost you, having loved me! Thou who are the world's Creator,
Dear chosen Infant,
You who have joy in the Divine Lap,
But if it was your wish to suffer,
You cry 'cause you see me ungrateful
You are sleeping, my Baby, but meanwhile the Heart,
And so of dying for me you are thinking, O God,
