lyrics

1. Laudiam l'amor divino, Jesu quel bel fantino
Ch'e nato piccolino, ch'e nato piccolino

2. Laudiam con tutta mente, Jesu ch'e qui presente
morto e chi noi sente, quel foco divino

3. El tuo figliol, Maria, che se' chiamata dia,
facto_ha l'anima mia, ebra d'un caldo vino

4. Io sunto_inebriato, de_un vino_azo saggiato
che m'a se alterato, non dormo_e se me_inchino

5. Oggi e nato_il Signore, quel grande_imperatore
Jesu nostro Signore, e facto bambolino

6. Chi Dio non sa laudare, ne_el buon Jesu pregare
deh, va da se_a negare: degno e de tal fino

Praise divine love, that Jesus, that little beautiful one,
should be born a tiny babe

Praise with our whole being, that Jesus came here
and died, and who hears us, what a fire divine

It is your Son, Mary, who was called to give.
The truth is, my soul is drunk with a hot wine

I am drunk from a wine so wise
that has changed me, I cannot sleep, I bow low

Today is born the Lord, the grand emperor
Jesus our Lord, in fact a little baby

Who knows not to sing God's praises, pray to the good Jesus
that you will change to be worthy of this end
