track De Tierra Lejana Venimos

(set your price and buy - how it works?)

Beautiful song, beautiful melody. It has a lot of rhythm, beautiful sparkly rhythm. But also, the way we recorded the singing, it has the “silence of Christmas” - the magic stillness when Christmas arrives. This is the first of the songs which I was going to record for this Christmas (2007), but it will inevitably go to be released in time for next Christmas,2008.
I have done the arrangement and play the instrument and sing a few voices, while Djanan Turan (www.djananturan.com) and Ginka Karaivanova (both pictured) sing the main parts.

1.
De tierra lejana Venimos a verte,
Nos sirve de guia La Estrella de Oriente.

(chorus)
O brillantestrella que anuncias la aurora
No nos falte nunca tu luz bienhechora.
yen la tierra amor.
Gloria en las alturas al Hijo de Dios,
Gloria en las alturas.
2.
Al recien nacido que es Rey de los reyes,
Oro le regalo para ornar sus sienes.

(chorus)
3.
Como es Dios el Nino le regalo incienso,
Perfume con alma que sube hasta el cielo.

(chorus)
4.
Al Nino del cielo que bajo a la tierra,
Le regalo mirra que inspira tristerza.

(chorus)

English Translation: SONG OF THE WISE MEN

From a far away land, The Savior we come seeking,
Using as our guide the star, so brightly beaming.

Refrain:
Lovely Eastern Star, that tells us of God's morning,
Heaven's wondrous light,
O never cease Thy shining, peace and love to men.
Glory in the Highest to the Son of Heaven,
And upon the earth be

Glowing gold I bring to the new-born Babe so holy,
Token of His pow'r to reign above in glory.

Refrain

Frankincence I bring to the Child of God's own choosing,
Token of our pray'rs to Heaven ever rising.

Refrain

Bitter myrrh have I to give the infant Jesus,
Token of the pain the He will bear to save us.
