Los países de habla anglófona son más dados a celebrar Father Christmas que los tres reyes magos. Pero aún así, hoy os dejamos un villancico en inglés que habla de los tres reyes: We Three Kings. Uno de los villancicos más famosos en la época navideña.
Os lo dejamos con dos versiones, primero una clásica:
Y luego una versión preciosa de Ella Fitzgerald:
Aquí tenéis la letra:
We three kings of Orient are;
Bearing gifts we traverse afar,
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising, voices raising,
Worshiping God on high.
Myrrh is mine, its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom;
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone cold tomb.
Glorious now behold Him arise;
King and God and sacrifice;
Alleluia!, Alleluia!,
Rings through the earth and skies.
