Cantaba José(original) |
| Descansando al lado de un pozo |
| A la sombra de un ciprés |
| A la sombra de un ciprés |
| Los pastores se han parado |
| Antes de llegar a Belén; |
| Antes de llegar a Belén |
| Cantaba José |
| María lavaba |
| Tendiendo los trapos |
| Pa que se secaran |
| Pa que se secaran |
| Pa que se secaran |
| El Niño dormía |
| José le cantaba |
| Una pareja de ángeles |
| Llegaron a toda prisa; |
| Llegaron a toda prisa |
| A ver al Niño Divino |
| Y a darle los buenos días |
| Y a darle los buenos días |
| Estando todos los pastores |
| Haciendo de centinela |
| Haciendo de centinela; |
| Adorando al Rey del Cielo |
| Sobre su cuna más bella |
| Sobre su cuna más bella |
| Con su Niño en la rodilla |
| José le estaba cantando |
| José le estaba cantando |
| Mientras María lavaba |
| En un arroyo cercano |
| En un arroyo cercano |
| (translation) |
| Resting next to a well |
| In the shade of a cypress |
| In the shade of a cypress |
| The shepherds have stood |
| Before arriving in Bethlehem; |
| Before arriving in Bethlehem |
| Jose sang |
| Mary washed |
| hanging out the rags |
| So that they dry |
| So that they dry |
| So that they dry |
| The boy was sleeping |
| Jose sang to him |
| a couple of angels |
| They came in a hurry; |
| They came in a hurry |
| To see the Divine Child |
| And to say good morning |
| And to say good morning |
| Being all the shepherds |
| playing sentinel |
| Playing sentinel; |
| Worshiping the King of Heaven |
| On his most beautiful cradle |
| On his most beautiful cradle |
| With her child on her knee |
| José was singing to him |
| José was singing to him |
| While Mary washed |
| in a nearby stream |
| in a nearby stream |
