Original text and translations
Spanish text
- Falade ben baixo petade pouquino,
- Pra que no deperte o noso rollino,
- Ay, mina xoya, meo queridino,
- Eu ben quisiera darche agorino,
- Terte no collo, acochadino.
- Mina xoya, meu rapaz, Mina xoya, como estas?
- Que es tas tembrando de frio,
- Ay, que lastima me das;
- Que estas tembrando do de frio,
- Aye, que lastima me das.
English translation
- We'll speak very softly and lower our voices
- Before the dear Savior in whom Heaven rejoices.
- O my beloved, could I but hold Thee,
- How great my joy, how great my joy!
- How great Thy blessing, falling upon me!
- My beloved, my heart's one delight,
- My dear baby Jesus, How are you?
- From the cold I see you shiv'ring,
- And it grieves me through and through:
- From the cold I see you shiv'ring,
- And it grieves me through and through.
