Number of voices: 3vv   Voicing: SAT

Genre: Sacred, Carol   Meter: 66. 66

Description: The text was first published in a 1737 collection called Canzoncine divote under the title Maria contempla il SS. Bambinello che dorme. Three different melodies are associated to it. This one appears to be based, in the stanza, on the same ground bass of the Tarantella carpinese, from Carpino, in the province of Foggia (I-IV-V-I in the minor mode). Third and fourth stanzas and refrain text, traditionally sung to this melody, does not appear in any published work by st. Alphonsus.

Fermarono i cieli
La loro armonia,
Cantando Maria
La nanna a Gesù.

Con voce divina
La Vergine bella,
Più vaga che stella,
Diceva così:

[Dormi, dormi, fa' la ninna nanna Gesù.

La luce più bella
Negli occhi brillava,
Sul viso sembrava
Divino splendor.

La madre felice
Di un bimbo divino
Gridava il suo amore
Cantando così:

Dormi, dormi, fa' la ninna nanna, Gesù.]

English.png English translation

The celestial spheres suspended
Their harmony,
While Mary was singing
Lullaby to Jesus.

With a divine voice
The beautiful Virgin,
More charming than a star,
Said this:

Sleep, sleep, go to beddy-byes, Jesus.

The most beautiful light
Shone in her eyes,
It seemed, on her face,
The Divine shining.

The happy mother
Of a divine child
Shouted her love
Singing so:

Sleep, sleep, go to beddy-byes, Jesus.
