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!
