Who removed the darkness in the shephards looks your first night?

Who has woven the crown of straws around your forehead?

Who has lead the three wise to our stable, my precious?

Are you the earths hidden treasure? (That) I have been protecting this night

Is it heaven itself which I rock in my arms?

Why does your hand grip your mothers hair so hard?

Shadows are dancing around us, now the angel is gone

He spoke of many beautiful things, much more than I can understand
