Cantad Pastores

(Spanish Traditional)

 

Brilla el sol por la mañana

Con clara y hermosa luz

Canta María la nana

Mientras se duerme Jesús

Venid sencillos pastores

A María oíd cantar

Que el portal es un palacio

De pobreza y humildad

Yo le traigo miel

Yo un mazapán

Yo una piel de oveja

Mantilla y pañal

Y el niño se duerme, con dulce arrullar

Cantad, pastores, que esta noche es Nochebuena

Tocad la flauta, tambores y castañuelas

Cantad, pastores, que ha nacido un querubín

Cantad, pastores, que ha nacido un niño aquí

Cantad, pastores, que esta noche es Nochebuena

Tocad la flauta, tambores y castañuelas

Cantad, pastores, que ha nacido un querubín

Cantad, pastores, que ha nacido un niño aquí

Tiene el infante los labios

Rojos cual bellos claveles

Y el azul de su mirada

Tan limpio como las nieves

Y el azul de su mirada

Tan limpio como las nieves.

Cantad, pastores, que esta noche es Nochebuena

Tocad la flauta, tambores y castañuelas

Cantad, pastores, pero afuera del portal

Que se ha dormido y se puede despertar.

The sun shines in the morning

With clear and beautiful light

Mary sings the lullaby

While Jesus falls asleep

Come, simple shepherds

Hear Mary sing

For the manger is a palace

Of poverty and humility

I bring honey

I bring marzipan

I bring a sheepskin

A mantle and a diaper

And the child falls asleep, with a sweet lullaby

Sing, shepherds, for tonight is Christmas Eve

Play the flute, drums, and castanets

Sing, shepherds, for a cherub has been born

Sing, shepherds, for a child has been born here

Sing, shepherds, for tonight is Christmas Eve

Play the flute, drums, and castanets

Sing, shepherds, for a cherub has been born

Sing, shepherds, for a child has been born here

The infant has lips

Red like beautiful carnations

And the blue of his gaze

As pure as the snow

And the blue of his gaze

As pure as the snow

Sing, shepherds, for tonight is Christmas Eve

Play the flute, drums, and castanets

Sing, shepherds, but stay outside the manger

For he has fallen asleep and could wake up
