Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin and Spanish.png Spanish text

Verbum caro factum est
Porque todos os salvéis,
porque todos os salvéis.

Y la Virgen le dezía:
Vida de la vida mia,
Hijo mio, ¿qué os haría,
Que no tengo en qué os echéis?

Verbum caro factum est
Porque todos os salvéis,
porque todos os salvéis.

O riquezas (temporales/terrenales),
¿No daréis unos pañales
A Jesu que entre animales
Es nasçido según véis?

Verbum caro factum est
Porque todos os salvéis

English.png English translation

Verbum caro factum est
for the salvation of us all.

And the Virgin spoke to Him:
Life of my life,
My son, what shall I do,
having nothing in which to dress you?

O you the rich of this world,
will you not give a swaddling cloth
to Jesus, born amidst the beasts
as you may behold?
 

German.png German translation

Das Wort ist Fleisch geworden
damit ihr alle erlöst werdet.

Und die Jungfrau sprach zu ihm:
„Leben meines eigenen Lebens,
mein Sohn, was würde ich für dich tun,
habe ich doch nichts, worauf du liegen kannst?“

O irdische Reichtümer,
würdet ihr nicht einige Windeln schenken
an Jesus, der mitten unter Tieren
geboren ist, wie ihr hier seht?

Italian.png Italian translation

Il Verbo si è fatto carne
Affinché tutti siano salvati.

E la Vergine gli diceva:
“Vita della mia vita,
Figlio mio, cosa devo fare,
non avendo niente con cui vestirti?”

O ricchezze terrene,
non dareste delle fasce
a Gesù, nato, come vedete,
in mezzo alle bestie?
