Translation of the song lyrics En Krybbe Var Vuggen - Reflex

En Krybbe Var Vuggen (original)

En krybbe var vuggen som ventet ham her
Det lille barn Jesus, vår Frelser så kjær
Men stjernene lyste helt inn der han lå
Det lille barn Jesus på leie av strå
Så enkelt og stille kom Gud til vår jord
Så høyt er jeg elsket av Jesus, min bror
Han kom fra Guds himmel, Gud selv var han lik
Men Jesus ble fattig, og jeg er blitt rik
Fra krybben til korset gikk veien for deg
Slik åpnet du porten til himlen for meg
Velsign oss, vær med oss, gi lys på vår vei
Så alle kan samles i himlen hos deg

(translation)

A manger was the cradle that awaited him here
The little child Jesus, our Savior so dear
But the stars shone right in where he lay
The infant Jesus on the rent of straw
So simply and quietly God came to our earth
So much I am loved by Jesus, my brother
He came from God's heaven, God himself he was like
But Jesus became poor, and I have become rich
From the manger to the cross the road went for you
This is how you opened the gate to heaven for me
Bless us, be with us, give light to our path
So everyone can gather in heaven with you
