It's a newer carol, dating to about 1960 and one of the earliest American-known singers to cover it was Frankie Avalon. The [lyrics are here ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caro_Ges%C3%B9_Bambino) (Italian and English) if you are interested, and below, Italian treasure Andrea Bocelli does a beautiful version of the song.
