Description
Imagine being sent from the stars in the skies to be born in all humility among us. This Italian Christmas carol O scendi dalle stelle nei cieli o Re beato, inspired by work of Alphonsus Maria de Liguiori, tells of God coming down to earth as a child. It describes the newborn Jesus lying in a humble surroundings, in cold and poverty. The lyrics emphasize the contrast between divine majesty and the simplicity of His poor surroundings. Through this imagery, the song invites listeners to reflect on the humility and love at the heart of Christmas.
Tu scendi dalle stelle,
O Re del cielo,
E vieni in una grotta al freddi, al gelo,
E vieni in una grotta al freddo, al gelo.
O Bambino mio divino, i'o ti vedo qui a tremar.
O Dio beato! Ah, quanto ti costo l'avermici mi amato!
A te, che cei del mondo il Creatore,
Mancano panni e fuoco,
O mio Signore.
Caro eletto, pargoletto,
Quanto questa poverta
Piu m'innamora
Giachhe ti fece amor povero ancora.
