Lyrics - Spanish
(Salvador Bustamante Celi, 1976-1935, Ecuador)
Ya viene el niñito jugando entre flores
Y los pajaritos le cantan amores
Ya se despertaron los pobres pastores
Y le van llevando pajitas y flores
La paja está fría
La cama está dura
La virgen María, llora con ternura
Ya no mas se caen todas las estrellas
A los pies del niño mas blancos que ellas
Niñito bonito manojo de flores
Llora pobresito por los pecadores
English Translation - Here comes the little boy
Here comes the little boy, playing among the flowers
And the birds sing love songs
The poor shepherds have already awakened
And they are taking him straw and flowers
The straw is cold
The bed is hard
The Virgin Mary cries tenderly
All of the stars don’t fall anymore
At the child’s feet, he is whiter than they are
Little baby boy, bunch of flowers
Poor thing, he cries for the sinners
