Once There Were Three Wise Men
Journey of the Three Wise Men: A Starlit Quest for Royalty
Lyrics
Once there were three wise men
Three wise men existed in the past.
Watching the night-time sky.
They were observing the night sky.
Suddenly three wise men
Suddenly, the three wise men
Saw a star pass by!
Witnessed a passing star.
So they jumped on the camel train,
They quickly boarded a camel train.
Jumped on the camel train,
Repeated emphasis on their action: jumping on the camel train.
To find a king!
Their goal was to find a king.
Then all the three wise men
All three wise men followed the shining star.
Followed the shiny star.
They reached Bethlehem after a long journey.
They stopped at Bethlehem
Stopping at Bethlehem was a significant point.
Having travelled far.
Having traveled extensively, they arrived there.
They said: ‘hey, hey, is that the place?
Expressing uncertainty about the location.
Hey, hey, is that the place
Repeating the uncertainty about the place to find a king.
To find a king?’
Confirmation of the question regarding the location.
They found a newborn child,
They discovered a newborn child.
Laid in a stable bare.
The child was in a humble, basic stable.
They were amazed to see
Expressing their astonishment at finding Baby Jesus.
Baby Jesus there.
Elaborating on the presence of Baby Jesus in the stable.
They gave gifts to the baby boy,
They presented gifts to the newborn.
Gifts to the baby boy.
Repeating the act of giving gifts to the baby boy.
They’d found a king!
They had indeed found the king they were seeking.
