by Endre Ady (1877 - 1919)

Kis, karácsonyi ének
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) 
Tegnap harangoztak,
Holnap harangoznak,
Holnap után az angyalok
Gyémánt-havat hoznak.

Szeretném az Istent
Nagyosan dícsérni,
De én még kisfiú vagyok,
Csak most kezdek élni.

Isten-dícséretre
Mégis csak kiállok,
De boldogak a pásztorok
S a három királyok.

Én is mennék, mennék,
Énekelni mennék,
Nagyok között kis Jézusért
Minden szépet tennék.

Uj csizmám a sárban
Százszor bepiszkolnám,
Csak az Urnak szerelmemet
Szépen igazolnám.
