Lyrics

The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown Of all the trees that are in the wood The holly bears the crown: The rising of the sun And the running of the deer And the playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flow'r And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Saviour: The rising of the sun And the running of the deer And the playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir The holly bears a berry As red as any blood And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good The rising of the sun And the running of the deer And the playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea Bendito sea Fuentecilla que corres clara y sonora Ruiseñor en la selva cantando lloras Callad mientras la cuna se balancea A la nanita nana, nanita ea A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea Bendito sea Manojito de rosas y de alelíes ¿Qué es lo que estás soñando que te sonríes? Cuáles son tus sueños, dilo alma mía, mas ¿Qué es lo que murmuras? Eucaristía A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea Bendito sea Pajaritos y fuentes, auras y brisas Respetad ese sueño y esas sonrisas Callad mientras la cuna se balancea Que el Niño está soñando, bendito sea A la nanita nana, nanita ea, nanita ea Mi Jesús tiene sueño, bendito sea Bendito sea Joseph dearest, Joseph mine Help me cradle the child divine; God reward thee and all that's thine In paradise, so prays the mother Mary Gladly, dear one, lady mine Help I cradle this child of thine; God's own light on us both shall shine In paradise, as prays the mother Mary He came among us at Christmas time At Christmastime, in Bethlehem; Men shall bring Him from far and wide Love's diadem: Jesu, Jesu Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us Peace to all that have goodwill! God, who heaven and earth doth fill Comes to turn us away from ill As all may see In Jesus, Son of Mary He came among us at Christmas time At Christmastime, in Bethlehem; Men shall bring Him from far and wide Love's diadem: Jesu, Jesu Lo, He comes, and loves, and saves, and frees us Whence comes this rush of wings afar Following straight the Noel star? Birds from the woods in wondrous flight Bethlehem seek this Holy Night "Tell us, ye birds, why come ye here Into this stable, poor and drear?" "Hast'ning we seek the newborn King And all our sweetest music bring." Angels and shepherds, birds o' the sky Come where the Son of God doth lie; Christ on earth with man doth dwell Sing oh sing "Noel, Noel."
