Els reis
Language: Catalan (Català)
Available translation(s): ENG
Aquesta nit han passat
i han posat la mà als balcons...
Els somnis dels infantons
han granat.
Cap a Orient se’n van tornant
a llur reialme confús,
a regnar-hi tot pensant
en Jesús.
Heu sentit avui el cor
matinejador dels nens?
Heu sentit el rastre d’or,
mirra, encens?

The three kings
Language: English  after the Catalan (Català)
They passed by last night
and put their hands on the balconies…
The little children’s dreams
have come to fruition.
Eastwards they are returning
to their mysterious kingdoms,
to reign there by thinking
of Jesus.
Did you notice the early rising
chorus of the children?
Did you notice the trail of gold,
myrrh, incense?
