Lyrics and translation Al Bano - Mary's Boychild

Mary's Boychild

Tempo fa in Bethlehem
Gesù in povertà
Per noi da uomo scese giù
Cantando la verità

Hark! Now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas Day
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas Day

Dal cielo immenso e limpido
D'inverno, tempo fa
Un angelo volò quaggiù
E a un bimbo disse così

"Lui verrà, vedrai verrà
Mai più ci lascerà
E grazie a Lui, se tu vorrai
Il mondo in pace vivrà
E grazie a Lui, se tu vorrai
Il mondo in pace vivrà"

"Lui verrà, vedrai verrà
Mai più ci lascerà
E grazie a Lui, se tu vorrai
Il mondo in pace vivrà

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a shining star
And heard a choir sing a song
The music came from afar

Nel ghetto nero e povero
È Natale, ma non si sa
Ma c'è una voce giovane
Che al cielo canta così

"Lui verrà, vedrai verrà
Mai più ci lascerà
E grazie a Lui, e se vorrai
Il mondo in pace vivrà
E grazie a Lui, e se vorrai
Il mondo in pace vivrà"

"Lui verrà, vedrai verrà
Mai più ci lascerà
E grazie a Lui, se tu vorrai
Il mondo in pace vivrà"

Mary's Boychild

Long ago in Bethlehem
Jesus in poverty
Came down as a man for us
Singing the truth

Hark! Hear the angels sing now
A new king is born today
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas Day
And man will live forever more
Because of Christmas Day

From the immense and clear sky
In winter, long ago
An angel flew down here
And said this to a young boy

"He will come, you will see, he will come
He will never leave us again
And thanks to him, if you want
The world will live in peace
And thanks to him, if you want
The world will live in peace"

"He will come, you will see, he will come
He will never leave us again
And thanks to him, if you want
The world will live in peace

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
They saw a shining star
And heard a choir sing a song
The music came from afar

In the black and poor ghetto
It's Christmas, but we don't know
But there is a young voice
That sings to heaven like this

"He will come, you will see, he will come
He will never leave us again
And thanks to him, and if you want
The world will live in peace
And thanks to him, and if you want
The world will live in peace"

"He will come, you will see, he will come
He will never leave us again
And thanks to him, if you want
The world will live in peace"
