Bambinello bello bello — Lyrics
Dolce fiamma, fuoco ardente,
tu mi struggi lentamente.
Ma fa' presto, vieni, o Dio:
d'abbracciarti ho un gran disio.
Gesù mio, Gesù mio,
io con voce sospirosa,
ma soave, amorosa,
io sospiro il tuo Natal.

About Bambinello bello bello
This SAB setting of a traditional Italian Christmas folk song, Bambinello bello bello, captures the warmth and devotion of a parent's love for the infant Jesus. The text expresses a longing for the child, speaking of a sweet flame burning within and a deep desire to embrace him. It paints a tender picture of holding the baby close to the heart and kissing his face, all while sighing for his Nativity. The music likely reflects this intimacy and childlike wonder, making it a heartfelt addition to any Christmas service or concert. The Italian lyrics lend an authentic charm to this devotional carol.
