Dormi, Santo Bambinello by Mariano Garau — Lyrics
Dormi, Santo Bambinello,
Redentore sospirato,
fai la nanna, Gesù bello,
grande gioia è nel creato.
Ecco: alfine Tu sei nato
e qui cambia già il destino,
con la lupa l’agnellino
questa notte dormirà.
R.:
È notte serena di pace e d’amore,
sei nato Signore divino Gesù:
t’annunciano lieti i cori celesti
in candide vesti discesi quaggiù.
Giù dai monti, forti e fieri
con le bianche pecorelle,

About Dormi, Santo Bambinello
Mariano Garau’s Dormi, Santo Bambinello is a devotional SATB setting of Italian sacred text. The music opens with the choir offering a gentle lullaby to the Christ child, depicting the peaceful night of his birth. The texture flows smoothly, with the voices intertwining to create a warm and embracing sound. The text speaks of the world’s joy at the Redeemer’s arrival, the changed destiny brought by his birth, and the humble shepherds who come bearing gifts. The chorus rejoices in the divine Lord Jesus, announced by heavenly choirs. This is a contemplative piece, suitable for services or concerts celebrating the Nativity.
