When King Nimrod went out to the fieldCuando el rey nimrod al campo salía
He looked in the sky and in the starry skyMiraba en el cielo y en la estrellería
He saw a holy light in the Jewish quarterVido una luz santa en la judería
From which Abraham our father would be bornQue había de nacer abraham avinu.

Abraham our father, beloved fatherAbraham avinu, padre querido
Father blessed by the light of IsraelPadre bendijo a la luz de israel.

Then he entrusted the midwivesLuego a las comadres encomendaba
That every pregnant woman should give birthQue toda mujer que preñada quedara

For Abraham our father would be bornQue había de nacer abraham avinu.

Terach's wife became pregnantLa mujer de terach quedó preñada

Finally, after nine months she wanted to give birthEn fin de nueve meses parir quería
She was walking through fields and vineyardsIba caminando por campos y viñas,
She didn't even reveal it to her husbandA su marido tal ni le descubría
She found a cave, there she would give birthTopó una meara, allí lo pariría

At that moment the newborn spokeEn aquella hora el nacido hablaba
'Move, my mother, from the cave"andáos mi madre, de la meara
I already know who will take me awayYo ya topo quién me alejara
Heaven will send someone to accompany meMandará del cielo quien me acompañará

Because I am a servant of the blessed God.'Porque soy criado del dios bendito."
