Eu Hei-de Dar Ao Menino

I will give to the child
A little ribbon for his hat;
And he will also give me
A little spot in heaven.

I looked up at the sky,
It was full of stars.
I saw the baby god
Lying in the hay.
Lying in the hay,
Stretched out in the hay,
Son of a rose,
Born from a carnation!

In the womb of the Virgin Mary
The divine grace took form;
It entered and left through her
Like the sun through a window.

Come on, little donkey,
Let’s go to Bethlehem,
To see the baby god
That the lady has;
That the lady has,
That the lady adores.
Come on, little donkey,
Let’s get going.
