Riu,Riu, Chiu
Riu, Riu, Chiu
Canción de Navidad
Christmas Carol
(Spanish)
(English)
Estribillo:
Riu, riu, chiu, la guarda ribera
Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera
Dios guardó el lobo de nuestra cordera.
1. El lobo rabioso la quiso morder
Mas Dios poderoso la supo defender
Quiso la hacer que no pudiese pecar
Ni aun original esta virgen no tuviera.
(Estribillo)
2. Este que es nascido es el gran monarca
Cristo Patriarca de carne vestido
Hanos redimido con se hacer chiquito
Aunque era infinito finito se hiciera.
(Estribillo)
3. Muchas profecías lo han profetizado,
Y aún en nuestros días lo hemos alcanzado
A Dios humanado vemos en el suelo,
Y al hombre en el cielo porque él le quisiera
(Estribillo)
4. Este viene a dar a los muertos vida
Y viene a reparar de todos la caída
Es la luz del día aqueste mozuelo
Este es el Cordero que San Juan dijera.
(Estribillo)
5. Yo vi mil garzones que andaban cantando
Por aquí volando haciendo mil sones
Diciendo a gascones Gloria sea en el Cielo
Y paz en el suelo pues Jesús naciera.
(Estribillo)
6. Mira bien que os cuadre que ansina lo oyera,
Que Dios no pudiera hacerla mas que madre,
El que era su padre hoy de ella nació
Y el que la crió su hijo so dijera.
7. Pues que ya tenemos lo que deseamos
Todos juntos vamos presentes llevemos
Todos le daremos nuestra voluntad
Pues a se igualar con nosotros viniera.
(Estribillo)
(Chorus)
Riu, riu, chiu, the kingfisher (1)
God kept the wolf from our lamb, (2)
God kept the wolf from our lamb.
1. The rabid wolf wanted to bite her,
But God Almighty could defend her.
He wanted to make her so that she couldn't sin,
This virgin wouldn't even have the original sin.
(Chorus)
2. The one who was born is the great monarch,
Christ the patriarch made of flesh.
He redeemed us by making himself a baby
Though he was infinite, he made himself finite.
(Chorus)
3. Many prophecies foretold him,
And in our days, we have seen them fulfilled.
We see God made human on earth,
And the man in heaven, because He so wanted it.
(Chorus)
4. He comes to give life to the dead
And he comes to repair the fall of all.
This young one is the light of the day,
He's the lamb that Saint John foretold.
(Chorus)
5. I saw a thousand angels (3) singing,
Flying overhead, making a thousand sounds,
Telling shepherds, "Glory be in the Heavens
And peace on earth, for Jesus was born."
(Chorus)
6. Do well to accept what I'd heard,
That God couldn't make but a mother of her,
He who was her father today is born from her
And he who sired her is called her son.
7. Since we now have what we desire,
Let us all go together and bring presents.
We'll all give Him our good will
Since he came to be our equal.
(Chorus)
