Translation of the song Beijai o Menino artist Christmas Carols

Beijai o Menino,

Kiss the Holy Child,

Beijai-O agora!

Kiss Him now!

Beijai o Menino

Kiss the Holy Child

De Nossa Senhora.

Born from Our Lady.

Encontrei a Maria

I found Mary

Na beira do rio,

By the riverbank,

Lavando os cueiros

Washing the nappies

Do seu Bendito Filho.

Of her Blessed Child.

Maria lavava,

Mary washed,

São José estendia,

Saint Joseph hanged the washing out to dry

E o Menino chorava

And the Holy Child cried

Cò frio que tinha...

Because he was so cold...

Calai meu Menino,

Be quiet, my Child,

Calai meu Amor,

Be quiet, my Love,

Que as Vossas verdades

Because the truths You say

Me cortam com dor!

Cut me painfully!

Os filhos dos ricos

The children of the wealthy

Em berços dourados;

Sleep in golden cradles;

Só Vós, meu Menino,

Only You, my Child,

Em palhas deitado.

Lie on a straw bed.

Em palhas deitado,

You lie on a straw bed,

Em palhas aquecido:

You're kept warm by the straw:

Filho duma rosa,

The Son of a rose,

Dum cravo nascido.

Born from a carnation.

Beijai o Menino,

Kiss the Holy Child,

Beijai-O agora!

Kiss Him now!
