DE TIERRA LEJANA VENIMOS

Traditional Puerto Rican

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

Estribillo:
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.

Al recien nacido que es Rey de los reyes,
Oro le regalo para ornar sus sienes.

Estribillo

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

Estribillo

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

Estribillo

English Translation: SONG OF THE WISE MEN

From a distant home, 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.

Refrain
