(I sought to remain faithful to the original Catalan in translating all 15 verses of this traditional Christmas carol and lullaby. It was important to me to retain the present tense: being in the present helps us to receive the birds’ invitations to join their worship of the newborn Messiah in wonder. Good theology and faithfulness to Scripture are crucial to me as a pastor and seminarian, and I treasure the emphasis on the biblical narrative. I chose meter and rhyme with poetic care. I hope you enjoy my attempts to present this beautiful carol and lullaby in English! ~ Karen Sculley)
