La marche des rois
Tino Rossi
The March of the Kings
Early in the morning,
I met the procession
Of three great Kings who were going on a journey,
Early in the morning,
I met the procession
Of three great Kings on the grand road.
First came the bodyguards,
Armed people with thirty little pages,
First came the bodyguards
Armed people with their bodies covered in armor.
Then on a chariot,
Golden on all sides,
We see three kings as modest as angels,
Then on a chariot,
Golden on all sides,
Three kings standing among the banners.
The star shines
And guides the Kings,
Through long paths,
In front of a poor stable,
The star shines
And guides the Kings,
Through long paths in front of the humble abode.
To the son of God
Who was born in this place
They all come to present their respects,
To the son of God
Who was born in this place
They all come to present their sweet wishes.
With beautiful gifts,
Gold, myrrh, and incense,
They will offer to the most admirable master,
With beautiful gifts,
Gold, myrrh, and incense,
They will offer to the blessed child.
