Lyrics:
Bhí mé ann nuair a tháinig Íosagán,
Íosagán, Íosagán,
Bhí mé ann nuair a tháinig Íosagán,
Ach níor tugadh faoi deara mé.
Bhí mé ann nuair a bhí an réalta sa spéir,
an réalta sa spéir, an réalta sa spéir
Bhí mé ann nuair a bhí an réalta sa spéir
Ach níor tugadh faoi deara mé.
Bhí mé ann nuair a tháinig na ríthe ar cuairt
Na ríthe ar cuairt, na ríthe ar cuairt,
Bhí mé ann nuair a tháinig na ríthe ar cuairt,
Ach níor tugadh faoi deara mé.
Machine Translation:
I was there when Jesus came,
Jesus, Jesus,
I was there when Jesus came,
But I was not noticed.
I was there when the star was in the sky,
the star in the sky, the star in the sky
I was there when the star was in the sky
But I was not noticed.
I was there when the kings came to visit
The kings visiting, the kings visiting,
I was there when the kings came to visit,
But I was not noticed.
