Huub de Lange - 3 Christmas Songs A Christmas Fable - текст песни (слова)

What crew the cockerel
 On Christmas morn?
 It crew Christus natus est!
 Loudly Christus natus est!
 Gladly Christus natus est!
 Christ, the Christ is born!
 
 Quando, quando? quacked the duck.
 When, O when? cried she.
 In hac nocte, croacked the raven,
 Humped upon a tree,
 In hac nocte, in hac nocte,
 This very night, quoth he.
 
 Ubi, ubi? lowed the cow,
 Where? she asked of them.
 Ubi, ubi? None could tell,
 Till a little lamb
 Baa'ed out bravely, high and clear,
 Bleated, Bethlehem.
 
 Joyfully the donkey's voice
 Answered lambkin so:
 Eamus! said the ass's bray,
 As all Christian men now say
 Eamus! Let us go.
