Текст песни Кантилена - Был у Христа младенца сад

Was at the Christ Child Garden ,
And many roses he nurtured it ;
He thrice daily watered them ,
To weave a wreath myself then .

When the roses bloom ,
Jewish children called it ;
They tore down a flower ,
And the whole garden was devastated.

"How are you now spletesh wreath ?
In your garden no more roses ! "
- "You have forgotten that the spikes
Left me , "- said Christ .

And of thorns they wove
Thorny wreath for him
And a drop of blood instead of roses
Foreheads adorned it .
