The title of this Dutch Christmas song translates “cold is this little Child’, referring to the tradition that the Christ Child was born during the Bethlehem winter.

Hoe leit dit Kindeke hier in de kou ziet eens hoe alle zijn ledekens beven ziet eens hoe dat Het weent en krijt van rouw. Na na na na na na, Kindeke teer ei, zwijg toch stil, sus, sus en krijt niet meer. Sa, ras dan, herderkens, komt naar de stal En gij, o engeltjes, komt hier ook bij |
Cold is this little Child, cold is the air see how his arms and his legs really tremble see how he weeps and cries sorrowful sad. Na na na na na na, little Child so frail ei, become silent now, don’t cry, sus sus. Come quickly shepherds, come here in the barn And you, dear angels, please join us all here |
