Andèmm, andèmm, Vergin Maria — Lyrics
On lunedì de matina bon'óra
san Giusèpp l'andava via
e la Madònna gh'andava adrée.
Andèmm, andèmm, Vergin Maria,
andèmm, andèmm a Bethlehèm.
Quànd fu stada inànz on tòcco,
la Madònna la gh'à fàmm.
Andèmm, andèmm, Vergin Maria,
'n tocchèl de pàn a'l trovarémm.
Quànd fu stada inànz on tòcco,
on tòcco de pàn si l'àn trovàa.
Mangì, mangì, Vergin Maria,
mangì, mangì fin quand vorì.
Quànd fu stada inànz on tòcco,
la Madònna la gh'à séd.
Andèmm, andèmm, Vergin Maria,
na quai fontana la trovarémm.
Quànd fu stada inànz on tòcco,
la fontana l'àn trovàa.

About Andèmm, andèmm, Vergin Maria
This traditional Lombard carol, Andèmm, andèmm, Vergin Maria, paints a tender scene of Joseph and Mary travelling to Bethlehem. As Mary becomes hungry and thirsty on their journey, they find bread and a fountain. The simple, folk-like text expresses their needs and their eventual sustenance. Set for SAB, TBB, or TTB voices, this arrangement offers a charming and accessible setting of a cherished Christmas folk song. The repeating refrain, 'Andèmm, andèmm, Vergin Maria,' invites a gentle, flowing delivery, perfect for evoking the pastoral and sacred atmosphere of the Nativity story.
