Biblical hymns often have their names as the first line, or phrase, of the hymn, as in this case- the line continues; "bearing gifts we traverse afar"-the line is just cut short to go with the music.
We Three Kings Of Orient Are
Do They Know It's Christmas by Live Aid
Old King Cole Was a Merry Old Soul. But what does that have to do with Christmas?
My analysis. This is a very powerful and deep line from the song and you are trying to think of it in geographical terms instead of spiritual terms. But if you want to dumb it down to geography, they are three kings from "the orient" which would be east of Bethlehem; therefore, they would be westward bound to go to the nativity.
If it's during the middle, "Piano Riff Woo" by Little Richard, or during the end is "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani.

We Three Kings Of Orient Are

Kings (The bible talks of the three Kings of Orient who brought gifts to baby Jesus, also known as the three wise men).
The 3 Kings of Orient are were led to the West, that is they came from the Orient, the East....
they were "wee" - (We) 3 kings
The wise men or "kings of the orient" are commonly depicted in nativity scenes as three men of various ages and sizes, with no specific height or size mentioned in the Bible. They are traditionally portrayed as important figures who brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the infant Jesus.
The carol "We Three Kings" contains the line "bearing gifts we traverse afar".
