You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.This is a simple a cappella arrangement of a delightful carol to the infant Jesus, and virtually unknown outside Poland. I have translated the original text from M.M. Mioduszewski’s Spiewnik Koscielny (Church Song Book) (Krakow, 1838). This is also the source of the melody. I have translated vv.1-3 as accurately as possible while attempting to accommodate the subtleties of Polish rhymes into the clumsier English. To avoid repetition, I have reduced vv.4-8 into my verse 4 and compressed the meaning of the remaining six verses into my final verse, 5. The linking passages are all mine, as is the conclusion to the final verse.
