The link doesn’t work anymore, but several others I found quite quickly: http://www.feastofsaints.com/stachristmas.htm (with choral audio)
and http://www.mamalisa.com/blog/?cat=309 with a very homey string based octet video and links to other stuff like the sheet music and other Italian kids’ songs.

For kids, it’s probably best to shop around googling specifically “tu scendi dalle stelle” “from the stars” as the translations vary greatly (maybe since the original varies some too).

I would like the words and music to the Italian Christmas Carol: Mille Cherubini

Do you know of an English translation of an Italian Christmas song that I could teach to second graders? Possibly about “La Befana?”

Thanks,
