lyrics

Performed by the dwsChoraleArrangement of the traditional Spanish Christmas song in which the Virgin Mary protects the lamb from the wolflyricsRiu, riu, chiu La guarda ribera Dios guardo el lobo De nuestra cordera [ Riu, riu, chiu The river bank protects it, As God kept the wolf from our lamb] El lobo rabioso La quiso morder Mas Dios poderoso La supo defender [The rabid wolf tried to bite her But God Almighty knew how to defend her] Quizola hazer que No pudiesse pecar Ni aun original Esta virgen no tuviera [He wished to create her impervious to sin Nor was there any original sin in this maid ] Este qu'es nacido es el gran monarca, Christo patriarca de carne vestido; [He who's now begotten is our mighty Monarch Christ, our Holy Father, in human flesh embodied] Hemos redemido con se hazer chiquito Aunqu'era infinito, finito se hiziera. [He has brought atonement by being born so humble Though He is immortal, as mortal was created] Yo vi mil Garzones que andavan cantando, Por aqui volando, haciendo mil sones, Diziendo a gascones Gloria sea en el cielo Y paz en el suelo qu'es Jesus nascieta. [A thousand singing herons I saw passing, Flying overhead, sounding A thousand voices Exulting, "Glory be in the heavens, and peace on earth, for Jesus has been born."]
