Lleg a mis odos la leyenda olvidada que quiz conocan los sabios de Oriente

Theres a beautiful legend thats never been told, It may have been known to the wise men of old,

Sobre tres chiquillos que fueron al alba a ver a Jess con rostros dolientes.

How three little children came early at dawn, With hearts that were sad, to where Jesus was born.

El uno era ciego; el otro, tullido; y el tercero, mudo; no obstante, una estrella
One could not see, one was too lame to play, While the other, a mute, not a word could he say.

Los condujo al lugar donde haba nacido pocas horas antes la Criatura aquella.

Yet led by His star, they came there to peep At the little Lord Jesus, with eyes closed in sleep.

Cmo iba el Nio a mostrarse desatento y no responder con sonrisa sincera al or la plegaria de fe en su nacimiento y de alabanza por traer paz a la Tierra?

But how could the Christ Child, so lovely and fair, Not waken and smile when He heard the glad prayer Of hope at His coming, of faith at His birth, Of praise at His bringing Gods peace to the earth?

And then as the light softly came through the door, The lad that was lame stood upright once more; The boy that was mute started sweetly to sing, While the child that was blind looked with joy on the King!

Suavemente una luz ilumin el establo. El chiquillo impedido se puso de pie; el mudo cant, despegando los labios; y el ciego contempl dichoso a su Rey!
