English translation
1. Consider those from the East, Who followed the star, That told them to go and worship The Lord of lords. They brought Him offerings, Even though He was still a child; They are wise in faith; (repeat) They came with joy. (repeat)
2. Hardships and distance Did not deter them; They sought wisdom, Found only in Him. They searched and pursued Him, And finally reached Him; They rejoiced in their Lord, (repeat) Who came to save them. (repeat)
