Caro Gesù Bambino

Caro Gesù bambino ("Dear Gesù Bambino", "Dear Baby Jesus") is an Italian Christmas carol composed by Piero Soffici and written by Pier Quinto Carriaggi.

Originally from the Festival Zecchino d'Oro of 1960, the song was recorded by the Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano. This song stayed on and it is still being played all over the world and had been translated into many languages.

This song was also covered by Italian-American singer Frankie Avalon in 1962 and also by Andrea Bocelli.

Lyrics

Caro Gesù Bambino,
tu che sei tanto buono,
fammi questo piacer,
lascia una volta il cielo
e vieni a giocar, a giocare con me.

Tu sai che il babbo è povero
ed io non ho giocattoli,
sono un bambino buono
come lo fosti tu.

Vedrai però se vieni
noi ci divertiremo
anche senza balocchi,
vieni Bambin Gesù.

Caro Gesù Bambino,
tu che sei tanto buono,
fammi questo piacer,
lascia una volta il cielo
e vieni a giocar, a giocare con me.

Vieni Gesù Bambino,
vieni Bambin Gesù… Bambin Gesù.

Dear Baby Jesus,
you who are so good,
do me a favor
leave heaven one day
and come to play with me.

You know my Dad is poor
and that I have no toys,
I'm a good boy
like you were yourself.

You'll see though that if you'd come over
we will have fun
even without toys
Come over Baby Jesus.

Dear Baby Jesus
you who are so good,
do me a favor
leave heaven one day
and come to play with me.

Come over Baby Jesus
Come over Baby Jesus
