I canti di Natale: voi quali conoscete?

Quali sono i canti di Natale che da sempre non riuscite a fare a meno di intonare? No, non parliamo dei successi dell’anno degli artisti moderni, ma dei testi tradizionali. Quelli che seguono sono i più comuni:

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.
Now the ground is white Go it while you’re young,
Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you’ll take the lead.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.

Astro del Ciel

Astro del ciel,
Pargol divin,
mite Agnello Redentor!
Tu che i Vati da lungi sognar,
Tu che angeliche voci nunziar,
luce dona alle genti pace infondi nei cuor!
luce dona alle genti, pace infondi nei cuor!
Astro del ciel,
Pargol divin,
mite Agnello Redentor!
Tu di stirpe regale decor,
Tu virgineo, mistico fior,
luce dona alle genti, pace infondi nei cuor!
luce dona alle genti, pace infondi nei cuor!
Astro del ciel,
Pargol divin,
mite Agnello Redentor!
Tu disceso a scontare l’error,
Tu sol nato a parlare d’amor,
luce dona alle menti, pace infondi nei cuor!
luce dona alle genti, pace infondi nei cuor!
