A la media noche al rigor del cielo
 Nace Jesu Cristo, redento del Cielo.
Al la media noche el gallo cantaba,
 Y en su voz decía ya Cristo ha na cido.

Entre pajas nace del cielo gran Rey
 A u lado tiene la mula y el buey.
EL buem com humilde las pajas le e chaba
 La maldita mula le descobijaba

Su madre lomira sin poderle dar
 Ni lecho ne cun donde reposar.
Tiernecito Niño me Jesus,mi Dios
 Eres suave y dulce, eres todo amor.


At midnight, amidst the severity of the cold
 is born Jesus Christ, redeemer of the heavens.
 At midnight the rooster was singing and in his voice was saying
 that Christ has been born already

 In the straw He is born from the heavens,great King.
 At his side he has the donkey and the ox.
 The ox, how humble. The straw was thrown about.
 The naughty mule was uncovering him.

 His mother is looking at him without being able to give
 Him neither bed nor cradle where to rest.
 Tender Little Babe, my Jesus, my God.
 You are gentle and sweet. You are all love.
