Baby Jesus was born to us

At that time, the women and daughters of the gypsies living in our village also went around the village begging at Christmas. It was interesting to hear their strangely melodious, drawn-out singing. The lyrics of one of their usual songs were as follows: ; ; Little Jesus was born to us, ; In a cold manger, in a ragged stable. ; Little Jesus has no clothes, ; He is only wrapped up in a ragged red cloth. ; He is only lying on a haystack, there lazing. ; Beautiful angels are shouting, at the birth of Jesus, ; Alas, you poor good shepherds, rejoice joyfully, ; Jesus Christ is born, praise him. ; ; After singing their song, the gypsy women also said their indispensable good wishes: ; ; Come down to this house, Jesus, with six oxen, six horses, with nine calving cows, with abundant health. We wish you happy holidays!
