Original text and translations

Spanish.png Spanish text

Válgame dios, y que tres.
Jesus, Maria y Joseph.
¡Que niño, que niño tan bello !
¡Que Madre, que Madre tan virgen!
¡Que esposo, que esposo tan fiel !
El alma se suspende en tanto bien.
Válgame dios y que tres.
Jesus, Maria y Joseph

Pastorcitos venid al jardín de Belén,
y en su centro glorioso veréis el mas tierno jazmín,
la azucena mejor, el mas puro clavel, en Jesus, Maria y Joseph.
Que diré de ti, humanado bien.
Que diré de ti, madre la mas fiel, que diré de ti celestial Joseph,
pues te llama padre, quien te dio a ti el ser, que, que.

Válga me dios, y que tres. Jesus, Maria y Joseph.
O niño peregrino del cielo de Belén, sol mas divino.
O portal ahora si te considero cielo mejor de un sol luna y lucero.

Tiernos pastorcillos, el paso suspended,
ce, no, no le inquietéis, que el niño se duerme. Y le mecen Maria y Joseph.
