-O soy Gaspar.
Aquí traigo el incienso.
Vengo a decir:
La vida es pura y bella.
Existe Dios.
El amor es inmenso.
Todo lo sé por la divina Estrella!-Yo soy Melchor.
Mi mirra aroma todo.
Existe Dios.
El es la luz del día.
La blanca flor tiene sus pies en lodoy en el placer hay la melancolía!-Soy Baltasar.
Traigo el oro.
Aseguroque existe Dios.
El es el grande y fuerte.
Todo lo sé por el lucero puroque brilla en la diadema de la Muerte.-Gaspar,
Melchor y Baltasar, callaos.
Triunfa el amor y a su fiesta os convida.
Cristo resurge, hace la luz del caosy tiene la corona de la Vida!
English
The Three Wise
My name is Kaspar.
I the incense bear.
The glamour of the Star has made me wise.
I say that love is vaster than the skies.
And God exits.
And Life is pure and fair.-My name is Melchior.
And my myrrh scents all.
There is God.
He is the light of morn.
The fairest blossoms from the dust are born,
And joy is shadowed by a threatful pall.-My name is Balthasar.
I bring a
Of Orient gold, my gift.
I come to say That God exists.
I know all by the
Of starry light upon the crown of Death.-Balthasar,
Melchior,
Kaspar, be ye still.
Love triumphs and has bid you to his feast.
Radiance has filled the void, the night has ceased:
Wearing Life's crown,
Christ comes to work His Will!
Translated by Salomon de la Selva one of Nicaragua's major poets.
