The Star Rises High

Cleopatra Stratan

Steaua sus răsare

Steaua sus rasare
Ca o taina mare
Steaua straluceste
Si lumii vesteste
Si lumii vesteste

Ca astazi Curata
Preanevinovata
Fecioara Maria
Naste pe Mesia
Naste pe Mesia

Magii cum zarira
Steaua si pornira
Mergand dupa raza
Pe Hristos sa-l vaza
Pe Hristos sa-l vaza

Si daca pornira
Indata-L gasira
La Dansul intrara
Si se inchinara
Si se inchinara

Cu daruri gatite
Lui Hristos menite
Luand fiecare
Bucurie mare
Bucurie mare

Care bucurie
Si aici sa fie
De la tïnerete
Pan-la batranete
Pan-la batranete

The Star Rises High

The star rises high
Like a great mystery
The star shines bright
And tells the world
And tells the world

That today the Pure
Most innocent
Virgin Mary
Gives birth to the Messiah
Gives birth to the Messiah

The wise men saw it
The star and set out
Going after the light
To see Christ
To see Christ

And when they set out
They found Him right away
They entered in
And bowed down
And bowed down

With gifts prepared
For Christ intended
Each one taking
Great joy
Great joy

Let that joy
Be here as well
From youth
To old age
To old age
