Legg barnet mitt lunt i et teppe

Og la oss få hvile og ro

Det var ikke plass hos det travle

Det var ikke plass til oss to

Når livet blir til, må det elskes

Og elskes fordi det er til

Så vanskelig er det å la det få rom

Få rom til å bli hva det vil

Han kom som at lys fra Guds himmel

En engel fortalte meg alt

Og jeg tok i mot, og var åpen

Jeg visste at nå var jeg kalt

Til bare å være en åker

Der såkomet gror av seg selv

Så lot jeg mysteriet sakte ta form

I barnet jeg fødte i kveld

Vi fant ikke husrom, du lille

Det var ikke plass noe sted

Og så ble du lagt i en krybbe

Nå fyller du mørket med fred

Og varmen fra husdyr er blandet

Med duft av din nyfødte hud

Så sterkt og så nært er ditt ansikt i natt

Du evide, sårbare Gud

Svøp sjalet rundt barnet som sover

Og la oss få hvile og ro

Det var ikke plass hos de travle

Det var ikke plass til oss to

Når livet blir til, må det elskes

Og elskes fordi det er til

Så vanskelig er det å la det få rom

Få rom til å bli hva det vil

Lay my baby snugly in a blanket

And let's rest and calm down

There was no room for the busy

There was no room for the two of us

When life is created, it must be loved

And loved because it exists

It's so hard to let it have room

Make room to be what it wants to be

He came as that light from the heaven of God

An angel told me everything

And I received, and was open

I knew that now I was called

To just be a field

Where the sow grows by itself

Then I slowly let the mystery take shape

In the baby I gave birth to tonight

We did not find housing, you little one

There was no room anywhere

And then you were put in a manger

Now you fill the darkness with peace

And the heat from pets is mixed

With the scent of your newborn skin

How strong and so close is your face tonight

You evid, vulnerable God

Wrap the shawl around the sleeping child

And let's rest and calm down

There was no room for the busy ones

There was no room for the two of us

When life is created, it must be loved

And loved because it exists

It's so hard to let it have room

Make room to be what it wants to be
